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!

It was my first time white water rafting so I was a bit nervous. I felt extremely comfortable with the crew. They were knowledgeable, safety-conscious and entertaining. Our guides were Hayden, Johnny & Emily. Thanks for a great trip, guys!

We did a 1/2 day white water rafting trip with our tour guide Aiden. It was awesome! It was my first time rafting and Aiden was a great instructor and leader. He made me feel comfortable at all times and made the trip a combination of relaxing moments as well as moments filled with fun and adventure. Aiden was very personable and funny. He shared so much of his knowledge in a fun and interesting way. I highly recommend French Broad Adventures and definitely request Aiden as your guide! Hope you have as much fun as we did!

Amazing views! Our rafting guide is so young but so experienced. I think his name is “ Chilly “ , a wonderful young man, very knowledgeable and friendly.

Fun rafting trip with guide Clayton! The river was down due to lack of recent rain, but Clayton still found several rapids to make sure we got cooled off on a hot day. We stopped for a short time to allow for a refreshing swim. Good equipment (rafts, PFD's, helmets). Very professional safety briefing and video before the trip. Lunch buffet on an island was creative and delicious. Clayton is an excellent guide who is very knowledgeable about the river and the surrounding area. Photographer shot some fun family pictures for us (for sale at the end). Thanks for a great rafting trip!

Rescuing overboard rafter, his paddle AND his shoe. He was a little rattled at first, but we got him back to his raft and his buddies.

Good focus on safety. Overall great views. We would have liked more rapids and more swim time. Otherwise, nice time.

This is my second time rafting with NOC. It was the most fun I have ever had on the water! Colleen is a remarkable guide, and our entire group was stoked to have her! The photographers went above and beyond to get amazing shots for us. My friends had never been rafting and are completely hooked now! Thank you for bringing our group closer together!

Friendly professional crew delivered a great experience. The water level was perfect for the rapids and so was the weather.
