“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.”

“Was an amazing rafting adventure , crew is very experienced and knowledgeable. They had safety as their #1 priority yet made it fun the entire time . Ryan was our Guide , we had an amazing pairing up with another father / son pair which also really made our experience fantastic ! The whole day trip is really worth doing ( plan on it next year as well ) we stopped and had opportunities to jump of of nice boulders , took in breathtaking views and had a delicious lunch prepared by the crew. The pictures were the best and if you’re on vacation it’s worth the full photo purchase at the end because it they were professional pictures and really got the facial expressions exactly at “that moment “ lol An adventure for all is what I can tell you and No, I don’t work for them! Lol From Miami !”

“I was looking for an exciting once in a lifetime raft trip with safety as a top concern. The guides worked together with safety ropes at all dangerous spots. I was never nervous and our whole family had a great time. I recommend the section 4 of Chattooga to anyone who is athletic and looking for high adventure.”
