Great trip, would definitely go again - Fantastic day, we are so glad we went. Did the full-day trip on the French Broad. The NOC facilities and staff are the best. If you want to do whitewater rafting in this region, NOC is absolutely the gold standard. I want to especially shout out our fearless river guide, Sophie. She's the best and was a big part in making this such a memorable trip. Thank-you, Sophie and NOC French Broad Outpost team!

Just do it - I never really leave reviews, but just wanted to say that it was such a great time! Shoutout to our guide Sophie, she was fun, encouraging, and a great leader. Had great weather conditions and randomly got paired with excellent people in our raft, so all the elements were great. It was just as fun as I was hoping it would be and I don’t say that often. Just do it. :)

Perfect float trip - We were late arriving due to traffic stop on the highway. NOC were very understanding and accommodating. They got us on a different ride. The guides and bus driver “Extraordinaire “ were a lot of fun. More important than that they were very professional and worked together like a fine oiled machine. I definitely will recommend NOC to my family and friends.

Good times - We had a great time! The guides were very thorough with the safety talks and we felt confident taking our 8 year old out on the raft. Everything went great and the whole family had fun.

You won’t regret this - Rockstar guide with a very long route, about an hour & a half. First time rafting East of the Mississippi & the rapids were a bit smaller than out West, but had a great time. Perfect for beginners.

Priceless Memories - Decided to do this on a whim and it turned out to be an excellent time. The guides (Mac and Lane) were amazing, funny, and made us feel safe the whole time. The views were amazing. It still surprises me that I was able to pay for such priceless images and a phenomenal experience.

Great White Water Rafting Trip - We had a great White Water Rafting trip with NOC.
The NOC team provided top notch service, instruction and support. We had a family of four with two adults and two kids (8 and 10). While my 8 year old daughter was a little nervous at the start, our NOC guide did a great job making her and the rest of us comfortable and guiding us through our first White Water experience. As a bonus, the photos they took were awesome and captured it all in a way I never expected. It was a great trip, and I would highly recommend the NOC to anyone!
