“Had a great time with this company, all the guides where friendly knowledgeable helpful. I would differently use them and tell other people about them. Great time was had in all the boats.”

“Top notch day on the river. Our guide Leah was excellent and made the experience fun while clearly communicating to us what to expect on our way down the river. Looking forward to our next adventure with NOC!”

“NOC is an amazing outfit. We had a dream like trip down the Chattooga with Micky, who did an amazing job both navigating the rapids and keeping us safe, and mixing it up with some fun runs. He was great conversation and knew the difference between red and white oaks. Fun was had by young and old, and we will definitely come again. We wholly recommend NOC for rafting and any kind of adventure. They are very experienced and organized, but not fussy or stuffy.”

“Second waterwater rafting experience as good as the first. The crew took every precaution to keep all safe and went beyond to make it fun. Would highly recommend.”

“The Chattooga River was truly an experience like no other. I thoroughly enjoyed the solitude of the river and all of the side excursions that our rafting group did while going down the river. The rafting guides were great to spend hours with, and I trusted them the entire trip regardless of what we were doing. I will definitely be doing this trip again next spring!”

“Their focus on safety, preservation of this beautiful, wild river, and quality of equipment is what makes the NOC THE GOLD STANDARD among all the river guide companies. 5/5 stars, because there was no option to give 100/5 stars. The guides are expert not only in reading the river, but in learning about the people they’re guiding . They know how to make one of the most exciting trips on any wild river the MOST AMAZING JOURNEY it can possibly be. It may sound cliché by telling about the bonding and really stretching to the best of ourselves to work together, but nothing gets your attention like the roar of whitewater, and the rush of adrenaline as the world pushes all of you into a roiling froth. And then.... like another day at the office, with a steady lean hard to starboard and pull of the paddle, our guide seems to steer us onward down the river to the next thrill. Their planning, the rustic lunches (bread, sandwich options, and cold drinks never were MORE satisfying than on this trip), and onward to the end bank of this gorgeous river of whitewater, canyons, bright azure-blue skies, and joy. The busses brought us back to regular life, but really changed for the better. The photos are amazing. So, that’s the experience.”

“The Chattooga section 4 full day was my 3rd trip with NOC and they never disappoint. Guides are FANTASTIC! Trips are well planned and safety is always top priority. I would highly recommend them. Looking forward to spring and high water section 4.”
