So fun and well worth doing! Highly recommend! - We took the kids for their first rafting trip ever (ages 7,8 and 11) on the Lower Pigeon and had so much fun, we went straight to signing up for the Upper Pigeon! Well organised, great value, friendly and safe staff and so much fun! Highly recommend NOC!
