This trip only covers...

Grace_L, May 2025

This trip only covers Class 2 and 3 rapids, which aren’t the most exciting, though we still enjoyed ourselves. It wasn’t too strenuous of an activity either- there was an older couple in our boat who did just fine.

Great experience!

Emma, we loved you! Lots of fun, knowledge and encouragement through the trip! Thanks for keeping our experience down to earth!

Perfect float trip

Christina_F, Jun 2024

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.

Awesome trip

Michael_E, Jun 2024

The entire experience from preparation to guide to scenery was awesome! I highly recommend NOC. We will be back for the full day experience.

You won’t regret this

Gage_D, Jun 2024

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

Trevor_J, Jun 2024

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.

Awesome!

Brian_M, Apr 2024

Awesome experience. Great service. Great ride! Priced very reasonably! Definitely a strong recommendation.

Fun, fun, fun

Carol_C, Aug 2023

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 experience overall

Elana_S, Aug 2023

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

Great Time!

Megan_D, Aug 2023

We had the best time! I was very nervous as this was my first white water rafting experience but our guide Carrington made me feel so safe! She was very knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions we had. The whole staff was super nice and even recommended some of their favorite restaurants to us. This experience is affordable and a great fit for all ages. My favorite part was jumping off of a rock at one of our swimming spot stops. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone!
