NOC was AWESOME and made our experience one to remember for a lifetime! - The entire experience was Ahhhh-mazing! The river is wild and secluded, so you feel like you're truly in the wild. All of the trip guides were capable, skilled, and professional, and they made the trip FUN! Nora was our guide, and she was AWESOME! We booked this trip as part of a graduation road trip for our son and 2 of his best friends and could not have picked a more perfect river and experience! We highly recommend NOC and the Chattooga for your next whitewater rafting experience! You won't be disappointed!

An absolute must do in upstate South Carolina/NE Georgia - I can't begin to say enough about this group. We had not been before and chose the Section IV trip. It is a full day by the time you arrive to the time you leave after looking at the pictures back at the outpost (which is worth the wait). Ryan, Dan, Holding and the entire guide group are some of the most professional, friendly and personable staff I have ever dealt with. The riverside lunch is dynamite, lots and lots of swimming and rock jumping at stop off points and you never feel unsafe as that is their #1 priority but yet it's not crammed down your throat or uncomfortable. These guys are the very best at what they do, and I highly recommend this activity on the Chattooga River.

Rip-roaring rafting fun! - Fantastic trip! Great day out, rafting was epic! And beautiful scenery as well. We did the full day with lunch and had a great lunch by the river and waterfall. Very well looked after by the trip guide Sam and her team. Highly recommend.

Great day rafting on the Chattooga - Excellent day rafting Section 3 and Section 4 of the Chattooga. We had a large group. Booking was easy as the staff was very helpful in guiding the options. The trip guides were fantastic. They are very diligent about safety first but made sure the trip was loads of fun. The water is very cold this time of year but wetsuits made the day very pleasant. Highly recommend them.

Phenomal Rafting Experience - Our Scout Troop did this over the weekend and it was truly amazing. From booking the trip (HEART Diane) to leaving was fantastic. The river was really low but it actually made the trip more interesting because it was a more technical ride. The swimming spots are truly spectacular. We did the lunch option and the girls thought it was the best lunch ever. I was also impressed. The guides were awesome - skilled and fun. Even the facilities are very nice. I do not have enough words in my vocabulary to express just how phenomenal this was. Rafting will never be the same.

BEST DAY EVER! DO IT! - This was my husband's and my second time doing the trip--and it was even better than the last amazing adventure we did with NOC. We brought along three coworkers this time, and everyone loved every second of it. The staff is incredible--they are very professional and make you feel safe and assured that you can do it! They are so efficient and go above & beyond to make your day. Truly one of the best experiences of our lives. Shout out to AK for being a the most energetic and fun trip leader, BIG shout out to Leah for leading our raft and doing all the hard work when we got stuck, and THANK YOU SAM for the awesome photos. The staff physically works so HARD but seemed to love every second of it just as much as we did. THANK YOU and we will definitely do it again! Y'all are the best

Worth every penny!!!! - Thrills! Fun!! Excitement!! All in a beautiful, remote setting. The guides were all knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We loved Owen, the guide in our boat!! The lunch they provided was delicious and filling, with enough choices to satisfy all the different tastes.
We especially enjoyed the stops along the way .... to jump off rocks into the river, to hike behind a waterfall, and to swim through a "pothole" in the rock. This trip is excellent rafting and more!!!

Absolutely awesome ! What a memory ! - Where to start… from the check in staff to the trip leader Paul to the bus driver it was perfect !! Our personal guide Mickey Timpone was 100% on point . He explained each rapid and gave clear direction to assist us in a safe exciting trip .
All of the guides were absolutely awesome . They were engaged in everyone and worked together to provide a wonderful memory !
I would recommend NOC always ! Their attention to detail was beyond words . It was obvious that the training that goes into running the Chattooga is quite extensive and every guide was exactly where they needed to be at the right time .
Everyone had a positive exciting attitude. Quite impressive teamwork . Well done all!!
