We offer year round adventures in North Carolina and Ecuador
You will find us strategically based in the Nantahala Gorge alongside the Nantahala River, close to Bryson City, NC – the epicenter for multi-sport outdoor vacations near the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Your experience does not end in North Carolina! Join us in Ecuador for world class international adventure trips.
Whitewater Rafting
Based just outside of Bryson City, NC, near the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, we offer year-round whitewater rafting. The Nantahala River and the Ocoee River are our premiere runs, giving you options for first time rafting or big time Class III-IV fun.
For Class Fun rafting, join us on the Nantahala River for a guided raft trip, or step it up to a guided ducky trip, or self-guided rafts/inflatable kayaks/duckys. The Nantahala is the river you will come back to over and over again! For the more adventurous/experienced, join us on the Ocoee River. With two sections of Class III-IV whitewater: the Upper Ocoee and the Middle Ocoee, we offer half day and full day rafting trip options.
Paddling Instruction
Instruction is an investment in your paddling, whether you are in a kayak, inflatable kayak, Spud or Tater, shredder or raft. If you are interested in an introduction to paddling whitewater or you are taking your skills to the next level, we offer instruction for every level of paddler, from beginner to advanced.
You have the option of private instruction with an instructor that becomes your “coach,” or joining one of our specialized group instruction programs. With private instruction, the day is all about you and your goals. With specialized group instruction you will join a small group of like-minded paddlers who are looking to work on specific skills or training.
Ecuador Travel
The amazing white water is what brought us to Ecuador, but it is the diversity in this small South American country that has kept us coming back. Ecuador has it all: world class whitewater for kayaking and rafting, rich cultural heritage, stunning scenery, birdwatching, the Galapagos Islands, beautiful coastline and snow-capped volcanoes. Guests return year after year for our all-inclusive adventure trips with whitewater kayaking, rafting, hiking, birdwatching, and EcoAdventure trips.
Fly Fishing
Our location offers some of the best fishing opportunities in the SE. We offer year-round fishing on the Nantahala River, as well as the Tuckasegee and local streams that provide both wild and stocked brook, brown and rainbow trout, as well as small-mouth bass. Endless River Adventures is one of the only outfitters permitted through the U.S. Forest Service to offer guided float trips on the Nantahala River.
Our full service fly fishing shop is at the Nantahala River.
