Edge of the World

I would recommend this to anyone visiting Banner Elk, NC. Perfect for the whole family!
The staff was hilarious and very friendly and helpful.
And they serve the best fried chicken I think I’ve ever had.

This is a decent rafting experience geared more towards families. If you are 20 somethings or a more adventure seeking person, this is not for you. It is a long bus ride with a redundant, annoying comedy routine that never ends.

Enjoyed our family rafting experience. The staff was entertaining although on the bus ride home being tired a little more quiet bus might have been nice.
It is a class 1 – 3 rafting trip. Perfect for the family. They allowed you to do the class 3 several times if you chose. They provide lunch which was tasty and a nice break with restrooms to use. Overall a fun day!

This is definitely the spot to go rafting in Western NC. They keep you in stitches with full on comedy routines during all down times, bus ride and meals. This was a great trip for everyone, even my 3 year old had a blast.

Had an amazing time white water rafting. The water was cold even though it was July but definitely worth it. Edge of the world tells family friendly jokes in the 45 minute bus ride to the river and back. I enjoyed it as it helped pass the time. The lunch with chicken, biscuits, trail mix, desert chewy, and lemonade was pretty good (was not super hot but the way served was understandable– environmentally friendly.) My mom was not a huge fan but I really liked. I enjoyed being able to go rodeo-​ing several times down the class 3 anaconda.
Do highly recommended this company. :)
Suggest if you love pictures bring a water proof camera or waterproof case for camera. A guy on ours had a waterproof camcorder around his head. high tech but a great idea. You can purchase pictures from the edge of the world, but can be a little pricey.

Great place to seek out adventure opportunities. These folks will supply you, guide you, direct you to the action.

Awesome group of guys, tons of fun on the ride to and from the river. On the river they are the only company that can run the Anaconda class III rapid multiple times… Highly recommended.
