Sean was a great trip leader. He communicated to our boat everything we needed to know so well. He matched our boats humor and it made a fantastic trip. The whole team today did a great job!

Amazing experience on the Chatooga with the NOC staff. The staff does a great job of mixing adventure, safety and also set up a shore lunch for you. We loved every bit of the trip down the river! Shout out to our guide Robert! Thank you so much!

Awesome experience! We loved it so much we came back a month later, and we have another booking before the summer ends. 3 times in 1 summer (Section 3 & 4) - because it’s just an amazing family friendly & wilderness packed adventure. Bring a waterproof phone lanyard if you want to take your own photos- but they have pro photos option- which are always great. The lunch is always phenomenal - we devour it every time. Our guide was full of information & we love a good history lesson or funny story. We got split into two groups of 3 per raft on one of the trips. The other trip we fit 4 on a raft. So if your group is bigger than 3 or 4 - be prepared to enjoy it near one another (it’s still fun!) lastly, if you’re debating between NOC or another rafting company- go with NOC we have never had a bad experience.Tip: Section 3 is family friendly and great for starting out! Fun water activities along the way. Kids had a lot of fun!Section 4 is more advanced, definitely for dare devils and thrill seekers. If you know what you like when it comes to adventures, jumping off rocks, walking through the falls & climbing rocks- just go for this one right off the bat. You won’t regret it.

This was the most unique rafting experience. On section IV, there are a few side excursions like visiting a waterfall and swimming holes. That was awesome. This trip isn't for beginners and less active people.We had a phenomenal day. Also, lunch was solid. It was build your own sandwich and good quality food. The guides were awesome and safety was the top priority on and off the river. I highly recommend rafting with NOC and going down the Chatooga.

We had the BEST day on section III of the river with NOC . Our guide Owen was AMAZING! The sweetest, nicest person, and so knowledgeable about the area. Our boys 13 and 16 had a blast jumping into the rapids and the Bull Sluice was a highlight!! We will definitely be back to do section IV. Beautiful part of the world, our experience was incredible. THANK YOU NOC and Owen!

We have been on many rafting adventures. NOC was very professional and safe. I brought my kids on this trip (12 & 17) and they had a blast. We will be back!

by far the best outfitters in the mountains. I have now utilize them in three different areas! chatuga was my favorite run, but the Gatlinburg pigeon was exciting to especially considering the amount of rain we had. I would highly recommend NOC to anyone and everyone who wants to go whitewater rafting in the southeast. they are unparalleled

Two out of three of us were newbies and a little nervous. Everything was easy once we got there. Our guide Worth was amazing. He explained everything easily and did an amazing job navigating us safely. The trip isn't just the rafting they have some stops to swim, jump into the rapids and some other stops along the way to enjoy your time. They have a spot to change so bring extra clothes and I recommend rugged water shoes.

Gracie was a great guide! The river was a good experience for our first rafting adventure. Our 10 and 13 year old kids loved it. The water is definitely cold, so be prepared for that!
