Great way for everyone to work together and have a blast out on the river. I had a fantastic time and so did my co workers.

This was definitely worth our 5 hour drive from Manhattan. White Water Challengers is a great company and this is a great activity to do as a group. When you reach them, they let you pick out your wetsuits and helmets and then drive you up to the rapids on a large purple bus (approx. 30 mins). During this ride, t hey give you instructions. Mid-​way, they provide lunch: peanut butter sandwich & they also have a veggie option (hummus, lettuce, carrots) that was surprisingly delicious.
Our guide, Cory was so energetic and gave us great instructions throughout the ride. It was very impressive how he would stop to help out others (despite the fact that they belonged to other rafting companies) along the way.
The ride was approx. 3.5 hours for us on an April day. The last hour is a bit slow (no rapids) so you just get to sit back and relax. Dinner is also provided when you get back: chicken, salad, potato salad and brownies. You have the option of purchasing a CD with your photos as well.
Overall, a great experience! Will definitely do this with White Water Challengers again.

Whitewater Challengers was fun, a lot of fun… a lot of scary fun. We picked a perfect day to go (sunny and 75) and arrived at 9 am ready to rock. Our guide, Ziggy, was clearly experienced and a good storyteller. After a short safety briefing and equipment check, you are shuttled a short distance away to the river launch.
The Black River has a dozen or so rapids that you traverse in your 4 hour journey. The 4 hours go by FAST so if you’re concerned about battling rapids all day, don’t. There are a few opportunities to jump in and swim as well as play in some of the rapids.
I found that the river was challenging and offered enough thrills that you will definitely feel like you are knocking off a good bucket item list. I worried about being knocked into the water, and while this did happen once, the guides prepare you for this and there are other boats/​kayakers present to lend a hand. If you’re not a fan of water/​swimming then this is probably not for you.
The BBQ after is just a little extra gravy after an already good day. Prices are reasonable, the guides/​equipment are great, and the Black River is fun. What more could a weekend thrill seeker ask for?

Myself and a group of friends/​family went here for a white water rafting trip. We truly had the trip of a lifetime. The water was great, weather was beautiful and the entire trip was well coordinated and guided by professionals. The guides in our boat were professional, knowledgeable about rafting (as well as the history of the area), and were fun and engaging throughout the entire trip. Throughout the entire trip we all felt safe and secure, not only due to the guides in our boat, but the water was full of safety people in kayaks that surrounded every boat. The price was extremely reasonable, and included an on the river snack as well as a full BBQ at the end. I am looking forward to doing a trip with them again in the near future!!!
They also provided a great slideshow at the end of pictures taken throughout the length of the trip! This was available for purchase at an extremely reasonable price, and they got amazing pictures of the group that would have been impossible to obtain on our own!
