Reviews
My husband and I had a fantastic time! Our guide Cody was hilarious, which made our journey both enjoyable and thrilling. We would highly recommend this experience.
We had an excellent experience with our grandson. Hunter, our guide, expertly navigated the rapids, ensuring a thrilling yet safe adventure. I highly recommend this activity.
Our guide, Maddy Best, was fantastic. She clearly communicated safety instructions before we started and reiterated them throughout the trip. Maddy kept us entertained along the way, and I was really impressed by her extensive knowledge of the river and its fascinating history.
This was the best trip I've experienced, and it was my fifth visit over the last 40 years. We chose a guided experience this time at ages 70 and 76, after an unguided trip with our pre-teen kids. Robert, our guide, shared insights about the area and skillfully navigated us around some big rocks, ensuring everyone stayed in the raft. When someone needed to check her sugar and have a snack, Robert had the necessary supplies in his watertight first aid box and stopped to help her. We also observed two other rafts trying a rock spin just before we continued on. Be prepared to get wet, so consider bringing the optional long sleeve top unless it's particularly hot outside and you're looking to cool off.
Initially, I felt anxious and uncertain about what lay ahead. However, the staff was well-informed and provided clear guidance throughout. We had a fantastic time and intend to do this again in the future.
I had a wonderful experience on the river. The guides were excellent, and it was a lot of fun. Safety was prioritized, making it a fantastic day out on the water.
The river experience was incredible, and the company was very well organized. Mark made an excellent guide. I highly recommend both Mark and NOC.
Cyrus was an outstanding guide who took our family on an enjoyable river adventure. Our children had a fantastic time. Thank you!
It was too cold to participate in our reservation at Nantahala Rafting on the day of the trip. If we had booked directly, they would have issued a full refund, as it was half an hour before launch. Unfortunately, Trip Advisor's policy only allows for cancellation 24 hours in advance.
The weather was fantastic, and Jarrett proved to be an excellent guide, even if his jokes were foolish. I did fall out (the water was freezing), but the rescue went smoothly and it turned out to be quite enjoyable. It's suitable for all age groups, and everyone had a wonderful experience.
