We did the white water rafting trip and Emily was our guide she was amazing!!!!! We will be back to do this again and request her!
We had a great rafting experience with NOC on 7 Aug. We arrived at 8am to find only 3 others on the trip. We had one raft and a kayak escort with the entire river to ourselves. Curtiss our guide and Miriam our photo/escort made the trip special. I cant express how much I enjoyed this river experience. Not only is the river something to see and ride but the NOC team made is special. We had a really fun day and met great people! Kudos to Curtis and Miriam.
This is a wonderful place to go rafting. our guide Will was awesome! full of fun and interesting facts about the area as well as knowledgeable about the river. Looking forward to taking another trip minus the rainy day.
We headed to NC in early June to celebrate my 40th birthday with three other couples. The Nolichucky was recommended to us by a local friend of ours. This was by far, my husband and mine's best rafting experience. We have been about a half dozen times. Jordan was the first guide that we met and she gave the presentation to our group. She was fun and out going. She was knowledgeable as well. Once we set out rafting, Alex was our guide. He was awesome. We had the best time. He too was friendly and outgoing. We did the full day experience with lunch. Everything. We will recommend this rafting company to all of our friends. We had an awesome day on the Nolichucky.
We went white water rafting and wanted some high adventure. This was just the ticket. Water was up and hit some great class IV and V rapids. Have all boys and we all managed to stay in the raft which says a lot for the skill of our guide. Lots of fun.
My wife booked this day along with another couple, i didn't know what to expect, never been whitewater rafting before & neither had the other Mrs. (she was pretty nervous!). Jordan was our guide - what a fun person!! Very friendly & full of information & stories about the area (7 years' experience), she kept us entertained the whole time and, most importantly, she was cool under pressure!! I was never worried with Jordan at the helm. The river seemed to be a perfect combination of whitewater and calm areas in between. We did the "full day" trip which included a stop for a picnic lunch. Working with Jordan was our photographer Elizabeth - there was some very funny expressions she caught on camera!! The CD with all the pictures was well worth the extra money. The scenery was beautiful as the Nolichucky runs through some very steep mountains, we couldn't have been more pleased, i highly recommend this tour group, they are excellent!!
My husband and I wanted to take our grandsons on an adventure packed weekend and our decision to include rafting on the Nolichucky worked out perfectly! The grounds, log cabin office nad bathhouse were very clean and neat. Our very professional trip leader and amazingly awesome raft guide, Trey Moore took very good care of us. As newbe white water rafters we appreciated Trey's professionalism and attention to safety. On the river, his personality and his ability to balance between safety and fun really shone! We were entertained not only by the big bouncy waves but by the stories of how the rapids got their names. Our photos say it all...smiles all around! We'll be back for sure.
Fabulous day on the water. Great guides, consistent rapids & a good lunch on the water. Well worth the trip. Our guide, Cory, was great. Very informative, helpful & help our group interested the whole time. We'll certainly go back.
We have been on several rafting trips in the past with other outfitters but this time we decided to try NOC and the Nolichucky. We had two adults and three eighteen year olds. Our guide Jordan was awesome! She greeted us when we arrived and really was great the whole trip even though a couple of us fell out several times. She told us the history of the area and the trip was never boring. Nice river with some great rapids. Jordan even told us about a local place to eat the Hawg and Dawg and when we showed up, she had called ahead and made us reservations. The owner, Lou, was amazing. The whole day was great and we would definitely recommend NOC and this trip to anyone. The only thing to watch is the rainfall as the water was a little low so go when there has been a lot of rain.
Our organization took 3 boats down the Nolichucky and it was fantastic. We lucked out on the weather, but regardless it would still have been a great time due to the high calibre staff. This is the smallest NOC outpost I believe - and the Noli is an incredible trip, with huge variation in CFS depending on rainfall. Learned a ton about the history of the region from our guide, and she expertly navigated every element. Highly recommend!
