“It was amazing, the only thing I didn’t like is we had issues with our pictures for the longest time, very stressful, but the experience water rafting was amazing”

“Almost incredible experience with NOC. Mostly had a fabulous day with the family rafting and zip lining. I don’t know if my river guide was new, but she was very quiet and could barely hear her. Also, she caused us to have some incidents that could’ve been avoided like the other rafters guides avoided. One of our family members fell in because she wasn’t quick on the uptake to avoid hitting a tree. There were many other times where she took us through issues that could’ve easily been avoided. All of the other rafts on our excursion were way more under control, so I highly recommend NOC, But our family in particular were disappointed in our raft guide for our white water excursion.”

“We have gone on several rafting trips as a family but the one at Nantahala was by far the best. The section of the river we were on had great white water and beautiful views. The instructors were very knowledgeable and this place did a very thorough safety training. Plus the action shots at the end were great!”

“This review is more about my granddaughter and grandson. We enjoyed a fantastic whitewater rafting trip on the Nantahala. It was an out of bounds new experience for them. Excited to contemplate but a bit intimidating at the beginning getting PFDs, paddles. The staff happy helpful attitude reassured greatly. Our guide was so attentive noting my grand daughters anxiety as we got to the raft. He kept her close. His friendly enthusiastic manner won her over and made the trip a delight for her and my grandson. You can't overstate how positive an impact such an experience can have on someone their age. It was a fantastic fun filled, safe trip.”
