Rock Climbing & Rappelling

Rock Climbing Fun Rain or Shine

“So how much fun can you have on a rock climbing and rappelling trip that gets rained out, turns out, a hell of a lot. Headed to the edge of the world for some rock climbing and rappelling. Made it all the way to the edge of the world but rain put a damper on our trip. We hung out for an hour or more an then decided to give it a go, just as another thunderstorm rolled in. Jake thought it was best to take cover and I didnt disagree. We took cover for about 30 min when the skies opened up. Trip over. But we stood on the edge of the world and watched the rain march down the valley upon us. It sounded like a river approaching us and looked amazing.

Not what we had hoped for but it was still at great time. Shelby did her best to keep us entertained and overall it was still a great day in the mountains. We will be back and better than ever the next time. Shelby and Jake you in?”

Jake: “Absolutely!”

Whitewater Kayaking

Great Day Kayaking With Shelby, Jibb, and Garrett

“The kayaking was so much fun!! We especially liked the fact that we could go thru the rapids as many times as we wanted. Also, that we were able to do it by raft or kayak!Our guides were lots of fun on the bus ride to and from our trip! We enjoyed their crazy antics and corny jokes!!
We especially liked the fact that once we were in the water, our guides were extremely safety conscious which made our experience even better. They made us feel at ease and we really appreciated that!
If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely do this again!!
Thanks Shelby, Jibb, and Garrett!! Great job guys!!!

Wonderful Weekend with Son

This was my first weekend vacation with my 13 year old stepson and we decided to go TO THE EDGE OF THE WORLD RAFTING. My purpose was for us to get to know each other and have fun as a family. What happened was we both had a blast together and it has been many years since I laughed so hard I thought I was going to cry all day long. I still haven’t decided what was more fun the bus ride or the rafting. We both had a great day together which turned into a wonderful weekend of fun getting to know each other. Thank you to all the guides who went out of their way to make the day so AWESOME!!!!

Fabulous Food and Fun. No Better Place High Country

I have gone rafting with Edge of the World numerous times. There is no better place to go rafting. They are a fun group of guides. The bus ride getting there is hysterical. The food is fabulous. They even did a veggie rap for my vegetarian daughter. I tell everyone that goes to the High Country to raft here. Such a great value for your money.”

Laughed So Long My Face Hurt!

“BEST TIME EVER!!!! Well worth the price!! laughed so long my face hurt! You must choose Edge of the World I thought as I watched all the others groups from other tours riding by looking so bored. The guides are the best, they are so full of energy the enitre time! Love that we could stop and go on the rapid over and over. Loved the comedy show! Just really cannot explain the fun we had as a family! The guides really made us feel like part of their family and really focused on us having the time of our life. We still talk about this trip and laugh together as a family!”

Whitewater Rafting

Unforgettable Highly Recommended

“Me and my family experienced the White Water Rafting tour at Edge of the World. This was such a great experience as the tour guides are caring, energetic, and hilarious all while keeping your safety as a number one priority. The lunch is actually really good especially the chicken. If you’re looking for a white water rafting trip, look no further this is it. I guarantee you. We give them 5 stars.”

- Tomas

We Had A Blast

“I have never been whitewater rafting before, but this company makes me want to do it over and over again! They made sure you were entertained the entire day, with nonstop comedy on the bus rides and in the rafts. Even lunch was funny (and delicious)!”

- Chloe

Enjoyable From Start to Finish

“My family spent a great day white water rafting with edge of the world. It was enjoyable from start to finish. I have given their name out to many people to make sure they do this when visiting NC. The lunch was very good, we had a blast all day. I would do it again if we go back to that area.”

A Great Experience

“We had a blast on our rafting trip on August 14th! We have never been whitewater rafting and I can say that it was awesome! Our guide, Harry was so much fun and so professional. Also, Matt was on the bus with us and he was hilarious. These guys were great and I would recommend this trip for anyone – it was definitely a great experience. Also, the lunch was fantastic! I would so love the recipe for the chicken, it was delicious! You guys rock and thank you so much for a great family adventure”

Highlight of Entire Trip

“What we thought would have been just one of the many activities to our vacation, became the highlight of the entire trip. Not sure what was more fun, the rafting or the ride to and from the river… The guys are awesome, tons of fun and a great day on the river… Highly recommended!!!!”

Score Them 15 Out of 10. Excellent.

“Are you Kidding me?? The Absolute BEST! Rafting is just rafting on any waters BUT… not at edge of the world! The STAFF is a 15 on a scale of 1-10. The bus ride is amazing and just when you are ready for a NAP NOT SO FAST! More to come. The Jersey Shore Loved every minute and thank you all for a GREAT time. Casper “That’s my favorite” I think I saw a couple more DOH Rivers on the way back to Greensboro??? Thanks to all of you for an amazing time with my young son and family. I can’t say enough.”

Sides Still Hurt from Laughing

“Edge of the world rocks!! My sides still hurt from laughing so hard from the “white boy rap” to the “free drinks” post rapids!! Our family had so much fun and memories have been made for a lifetime. Thank you Jason and Ricky (good luck in furman) for great entertainment, food, safe travels down the rapids and being so gracious and sweet to our 5 year old Taylor and 7 yr old ali!! Your bosses are lucky to have all the amazing staff they do! You guys are truly great! Can’t wait to come back!!”

Perfect Choice for Weekend!

“We wanted to take our kids somewhere fun for their last weekend before school started and we made the perfect choice! I had a lot of questions prior to the trip and everyone I talked to on the phone was friendly and very informative. When we finally met the guides/staff, we were thoroughly impressed by their enthusiasm, knowledge, and their obvious love for their job. We had Matt and Doonie on our bus and their comedy routine made the ride so much more bearable! The actual trip down the river was awesome especially the numerous times we went on the Anaconda. And of course, the food was delicious. Thank you, Matt, for keeping our family safe on the river and for being the best guide ever! Your back flip was #1 (Justin Bieber!!!) on my list”

The food was great and the photos were awesome!

Thanks for making it so fun!”
