I admit I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. All the staff was knowledgeable and clear with their instructions. We enjoyed this experience and plan on doing it again in the future.

Beautiful, scenic ride down river, not at all scary but lots of fun. All the guides were great especially our guide, Dane!
Although website says the tour is 3 hours it's not all on the river.
First hour is spent on getting equipment, safety briefing and getting to the river.
The NAC was a trustworthy and knowledgeable operator. They were so nice to put us on next trip when we missed our time slot, and so kind about it. Had a great time! Go in AM to see smoke come off River.
We had a wonderful time and the scenery was spectacular. I cannot say enough great things for our guide Paige!! She was sweet and a joy to travel with. We definitely will be back again. It is highly recommended!!
Great experience! Would highly recommend this to anyone! Kaya( not sure of spelling) took us on a relaxing and fun river ride!
We had a great time! NOC did a great job to be sure we understood how to be safe on the water. The tour guide, Jasmine, was thorough and entertaining. Caroline, our guide took ensured we were safe and had fun. She gave us some information about the area and stayed calm and resourceful when we swamped the raft.

Great way to spend time with our grandson. Hunter is a great guide and safely navigated all the rapids for maximum thrill. Highly recommend..
It was a Fabulous Time! We have done this run many times…but our guide (Carter) made it Really Special! He was Perfect!!! Very Kind, Knowledgeable, Funny, Personable and Professional!!!
We enjoyed a fun experience on the beautiful river. Our guide, Gage, did an excellent job leading the group, navigating, pointing out interesting facts & having lots of fun. He kept me in the boat !!!NOA is a first rate business.
Our guide, Owen, was fantastic! We learned, laughed, and had an overall great experience. The crew was well organized and made this an awesome trip for beginners!
Fantastic trip. The tour was made even better by our guide Zak who kept us entertained with little stories and information about the river. Can highly recommend but would suggest taking an extra pair of shoes.
Our guide made the rafting so much fun by his antics with a water gun used to have the young man rafting with us spray other rafters and even tourists walking across a bridge above us. It was such a beautiful 8 mile trip.
VIATOR forgot to change our reservation with the actual host, hence they were NOT able to accommodate us as we thought we were scheduled. Thankfully they were able to put us on a trip 3 hours later, but having driven over an hour to learn such, we wasted almost a complete day of our vacation waiting. The tour company suggested we book directly to avoid such mismanagement...

Hi there, we are so sorry to hear about your experience with trying to reschedule your trip. Your review and score impacts NOC's business rating and doesn't reflect back on Trip Advisor. If you wouldn't mind changing the score to reflect your direct experience it would be helpful for us to show the true rating. Again, we are so sorry this happened and hope to welcome you back for another trip sometime soon.
Great for family with kids ages 7 to 11 years. Good options for food when done. Well organized and clean facilities.
Adam was a great guide and the scenery was amazing. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The rapids were perfect for beginners.
Lots of fun rafting down the river. This was our 3rd adventure and so far the best. Nicely paced down the river. Anyone can do it!
Great rafting crew. Easy booking and check in. Had fun as our River guide was personal and knowledgeable and a little daring making the trip funner. Class 2 rapids so not the real exciting stuff but was still fun. Would recommend for first timers and those wanting a fun but not too adrenaline pumping experience as lower rapids with occasional bigger bumps and rock spinoffs.
It was great, guides were great :) would definitely go again.
Had a fantastic time, and it was a beautiful day out
The whole trip will be ingrained in my family forever, we are a military family and my son was going to another deployment and we wanted to spend some time together before he left, the whole trip was awesome but Jasmine and her awful jokes (kidding) and personality made this awesome. Thanks Jasmine.
