Sometimes summer spells relaxation for many Georgia residents, but then again summer also means time to get out there into nature and explore new things. There is something about the warm weather, nature in bloom all around you, and the sunshine that will make anyone feel like anything is possible. Whether that means hitting one of the many roundtrip loop hiking trails in Georgia, or perhaps taking a white water adventure that you didn't even know existed. If you've chosen the latter, then we have the perfect summer experience for you.

It’s a long, peaceful drive up to the summer adventure of a lifetime in Georgia.

Gather your friends or your family and head up to Whitewater Express, the rafting adventure outfitter that has been in operation since 1980.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned rafter, Whitewater Express will have you covered so that any experience you have on the river will be an epic one.

Working the Chattahoochee River or the Ocoee River, Whitewater Express will take you through a maze of rapids with a trusty guide.

While many Georgians assume whitewater rafting to be an all-the-time high adventure on the water that will illicit danger at every turn…

...they would absolutely be mistaken. Danger is not the middle name for Whitewater Express.

In fact, they have provided over one million high adventure activities with no serious injuries.

While, yes it's always possible that you'll take a tumble out of your raft and get a bit wetter than you'd like...

...you'll be prepared by your guide, fit with a life jacket, and always a helmet, too.

For those who want to make a weekend out of the rafting excursion, head to the Ocoee River location for a camping and whitewater adventure rolled in one.

Whitewater Express comes highly recommended by all who participate, with endless amounts of laughter for everyone.

If you're looking for a family vacation to far surpass any others, then consider Whitewater Express.

Whitewater Express has a few locations to choose from, with the Chattahoochee River in Colombus perhaps being the most popular. To contact Whitewater Express for rafting reservations, visit the website or the Facebook Page. Whitewater Express offices are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m..
