Meet the Guide of the Week!
At Ocoee Adventure Center, we pride ourselves on having the most experienced and fun-loving guides on the river! You can request a guide in advance when you book your trip.
Get to know: “Dan Ho”
We all need to know “Dan-Ho”! Originally from northeast Ohio, Dan spent most of his life in Hot-Lanta and has been rafting, kayaking, and guiding on the Ocoee before he even got his Driver’s License! (As of 2022 season #41!)
Rafting runs in the family as his kids are raft guides too now.
Dan is a “Geo-Nerd” and loves to play in the dirt! He runs an environmental consulting and testing business and oversees clean-ups and investigations for contaminated properties.
“Dan-Ho” describes the Ocoee River as a big, fluffy, wet, whitewater run with relatively few dangerous spots for its size. Because the Ocoee is dam controlled and runs fast through a full river bed, you can run a 5 Mile Middle Ocoee Trip in a couple of hours. Due to the river’s accessibility and proximity to several major cities, a person can get in a nice run and still be home before dark.
*Please note that leaving a gratuity is a great way to show your guide appreciation
for a fun day on the river.*
