Good fun, good people, great organization - Title says it all: Good fun, good people, great organization! For those who are new to rafting and traveling: Everything you wear will get fully soaked, don't wear shoes or clothes that might take days to dry in case you are traveling.

Best of times - Henry was such a great guide and we did a lot of fun things. We loved the surfing underneath the water and the whole thing. He was sooo much fun. We can't wait to go again and book him.

Senior Rafting Trip! - We had a fantastic time on our rafting trip with the NOC! Shawn was our guide and he truly made our trip memorable! He gave us the history of the river and was very knowledgable about the rapids we would encounter. Safety was very important to him and he gave us instructions frequently incase we fell out of the raft. The entire trip was exciting and entertaining! We talked about it for days! Thank you Shawn!

Great day on the river - We had a great time before. During and after this visit to NOC, the staff at noc was super helpful. They provide everything you could need. If it's a cold day or cold water, you can use there. Wetsuits and booties and cover-ups. You get life jackets and helmets and paddles the middle Ocoee is a great stretch of water with lots and lots of. Rapids, at every turn, so it's a very fun-filled day, very little float and paddling time, as you are going from one rapid to the next, we had a great time. Holly was our guide on the river, and she was genuine and friendly with us. A family of 4 had a great time.

We are still talking about this trip... - Amazing time on the Occoe River. NOC had clean and spacious facilities. The crew worked together to provide a safe rafting experience. Our guide, Ms. Judy was calm and reassuring even the river was not. She put our safety first and we were amazed at how quickly she was able to get us back in the raft when we went into the river. Ms. Judy is the best! Would definitely recommend this trip and outfitter!
