“Awesome”

“Although it was cold, obviously NOC had no control over that, we had a wonderful experience. Our guide was great and very attentative to all raft occupants, including a young child. She made it a great experience for the couple and the family in the raft. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the changing rooms need help. During summer months when people just wear bathing suits it is probably not a problem but in the cooler months, it was not very good. We plan to go back this summer and take the kids this time as I am certain they will have a blast too!”

“Our guided trip down the Nantahala was awesome! Even though it was raining and the water was freezing, we had a blast. Our guide, Caleb, was informative and entertaining. We all had a blast.”

“I had a GREAT time. Even though it was a beginners rafting tour, it was exciting. Kyle was a super guide. He had us maneuver in the water so that we experienced a greater level of difficulty like we were on an intermediate or advanced rafting experience. We did not simply "float" down the river. EXCELLENT time!”

“We went on a fully guided rafting trip and our guide, Joe, made the trip. We were a little hesitant to book the trip because the Nantahala is a beginner river and we had all been white water rafting multiple times. We are so lucky to have had Joe on our raft. He sensed right away that we weren't beginners and made the trip so much fun! He took risks with us and made the river a lot more fun than it would have been with another guide. He is also very knowledgeable about survival plants and the uses for different plants and trees. We were entertained and learned during the 2 hours we were with Joe. If we come back to the NOC, we will demand Joe, and you should too!”
