SAFARI SIGHTINGS

This is not a scripted tour, this is a live adventure where wildlife can choose to be a beautiful and exciting part! We ask that you take photos or videos but please do not disturb the animals.

RAIN OR SHINE TOURS

Chattanooga area weather can be tricky at times! Our policy is we go rain or shine. In the case of severe weather, please check-in 1 hour before the trip. We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule trips/tours.

SAFARI SIGHTINGS

The TN River Gorge is a unique stretch of river, often called “Tennessee’s Grand Canyon,” is a thriving ecosystem teeming with native flora and fauna. (click the arrow for more)

As you tour the Gorge, and other river systems we tour, keep your eyes open for majestic bald eagles soaring overhead, great blue herons standing like statues along the riverbanks, and playful river otters darting through the water. You may even catch a glimpse of white-tailed deer, wild turkeys, or the occasional black bear along the forested slopes. The diverse plant life—from towering sycamores and mountain laurels to rare wildflowers and moss-covered boulders—adds rich texture and color to the landscape, especially during spring blooms and fall foliage.

Bring your camera or phone and be ready to capture unforgettable moments, but please remember: this is their home. Keep a safe/respectful distance from all wildlife, never feed animals, and avoid loud noises or sudden movements that could disturb them. Staying alert and considerate helps protect these special habitats for generations to come.

Our crew. Our commitment.
Your adventure.

Come with us and tour the TN rivers and enjoy surrounding rivers as they carve paths through the Cumberland Plateau and more. We can’t wait for you to join us in the Gorge, the “Grand Canyon” of the TN river!
