“I have been rafting with NOC for over 15 years . I have taken my son and now my 10 year old granddaughter. This is a fantastic family outing. I have never had a bad experience. I highly recommend NOC over and above any other rafting company . The equipment, saftey, and customer service is top notch.”

“Alex McDonald was the lead guide for our trip. He did an excellent job with the briefing and safety protocols ! He was also our raft guide. He made the trip entertaining and enjoyable, explaining notable points of interest with the river. He was calm and gave good instruction when one member in our raft fell in shortly after launch and we quickly retrieved him. Due to his skill and instruction we turned the raft backwards and "surfed the wave" in a part of the rapids where we rode on top of a wave stationary for about 15 seconds. Lots of fun !! Just before the final rapid, he provided safety for a couple of kayakers. The last kayak had two kayakers fall in and he threw a safety line that reached both of them at the same time. He guided them with the rope to safety. All in all, it was an amazing and enjoyable experience!”

“Very nice time with my family. Having a guide makes all the difference! Beautiful setting and just the right amount of white water. I recommend the booties to keep your feet from freezing.”
