“EPIC day with the family! I can't recommend this outing enough. We were a family of four with a 10 year old boy and 14 year old girl. We were a little nervous at first, but our guide Carlos put our mind at ease. He was very knowledgeable, patient, kind and calm. He skillfully navigated us through tricky spots and always put safety first. He was a delight to talk with throughout the day. This was a full day trip but it went by so fast. The guides are lots of fun and do a great job breaking up the trip with fun activities. I loved how they show you how to float through a rapid in a controlled, safe way. That experience gave me confidence to try a more challenging route on our next trip. We will be back for section IV the next go round! This was the highlight of our week long vacation. Lots of rafts out with us with folks ranging from seniors to kids. I felt safe the entire time. If you have any reservations, just do it! You won't regret it!”

“NOC nailed it again! This outfit always delivers a thrilling, organized and safety-conscious whitewater rafting experience. Our guides, Curtis and Casey (2 rafts) were SO much fun, down to earth and experienced. After 40+ years with NOC, we’ve learned that all of their guides have this special knack of connecting with their rafters. The river activities added to the trip were an added bonus and loads of fun. Lunch was perfect- something for everyone. Chattooga Class 3 was the perfect level for our group ages 13-50++. Thanks again NOC!”

“Fantastic day on the Chatooga! Our guide Liam was knowledgeable and made sure all the rafts on our trip were always safe. He guided our raft expertly through every class of rapid. The sandwich lunch bar was delicious! Every guide was engaging, friendly avd knowledgeable on the trip. Fantastic day! Highly recommend.!”

“We booked a group of 14 people for this day trip and had an absolute blast! Robert, Jimmy and Gabby were amazing guides who added in extra fun activities I’ve never done on a rafting trip. Lunch was great and the whole river is stunning 10/10 would recommend! The booking team I spoke to on the phone, Will, was super nice as well.”

“I had sent a previous review. The experience was great. The only suggestion I had is that the outpost should have the the water cameras for sale. Also since they already bringing a camera to take a picture they should take pictures before getting on the bus and also at the time of jumping into the water from the boulder. We did not have a camera and the only pictures we have are the ones taken not the last rapid. Overall I loved it”

“We did the III full day on 6/9. I had not been rafting since I was a teen. My wife and kids had never been before. Awesome trip! Paula @ NOC Chattooga was an outstanding guide and group leader. She made the trip a lot of fun for all of us. Everyone is ready to come back and do another trip! Would definitely recommend NOC Chattooga and Paula to anyone looking for an awesome time and a great raft guide!”
