“NOC made this trip fantastic. The scenery was pristine and inspiring. The rafting was great fun with big rapids and we felt incredibly safe with caring and expert guides. The wonderful bonus was getting to play in the rapids ourselves and meeting other families.”

“This was our first white water trip and I was nervous for my very petite 10 year old to go. We did the Chattooga section III and it was perfect for my thrill seeking 12 year old and my more cautious self. Even w flash floods all week and high water, our guides were well prepared and took every precaution. The last rapid ended up being a class IV which was not typical, but by then we had full confidence in our guide Lauren and all that she had taught us. NOC provides wet suits, splash shirts, helmets, and life vests. A short lesson w video beforehand was effective for us first timers. An impressive lunch spread was included riverside. We‚Äôll be back, and going for class IV next time!”

“Section 3 is perfect for taking kids out for a great day on the water. I have rafted with NOC a dozen times over the last 20 years and the guides are always top shelf, making sure everyone stays safe but has a great time out on the water. We took our 8 and 11 year olds out for the first time and they had a blast!”

“This was my 3rd trip with NOC in 25 years. The guides, gear, and logistics are all top notch. I‚Äôm an avid outdoorsman, and nothing about these trips are touristy. There may be better outfitters in the area, but I doubt it. We will be back next year.”
