NOC Best on Nantahala - 5 of us, including two 13-year olds had a great rafting trip. Our guide Kevin was excellent. He was great with the kids and adults. He knew well what he was doing. I’d highly recommend the capable guides at the NOC for rafting the Nantahala.

Awesome! - Exciting rafting trip. Beautiful scenery. Cold water. Our guide Silas was awesome. Very informative of the local area, flora, and rapids. Got very wet, but you don't go whitewater rafting to stay dry. So all is good.

The best mountain experience - We love N.O.C. This is our second time using N.O.C to white water raft. Robert our guide did a wonderful job and even gave us other travel suggestions. They really do make safety the top priority while allowing everyone to enjoy the ride. Our children absolutely loved it and honestly I wouldn’t trust another rafting company the way I do N.O.C. They are top notch. Big shout out to Joe our first guide and Robert our second. You will be in good hands with these guys and you will have a great time.

All - This is the best most amazing getaway that I think I've ever had. I came so low because seems like every time I go with someone somebody wants to do this and somebody wants to do that. And I wanted to do whatever I wanted to do. This is extremely safe place. Highly recommended for anybody who loves outdoors the rivers zip lining people the food it's just out of control amazing

Long weekend in Bryson City - Couldn’t have had a better time. The NOC is all inclusive in rafting, kayaking, shopping, and just plain fun in the river. We will be back
