You won’t regret this - 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 - 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.

Great White Water Rafting Trip - We had a great White Water Rafting trip with NOC. The NOC team provided top notch service, instruction and support. We had a family of four with two adults and two kids (8 and 10). While my 8 year old daughter was a little nervous at the start, our NOC guide did a great job making her and the rest of us comfortable and guiding us through our first White Water experience. As a bonus, the photos they took were awesome and captured it all in a way I never expected. It was a great trip, and I would highly recommend the NOC to anyone!

Super fun! - It was my first time white water rafting so I was a bit nervous. I felt extremely comfortable with the crew. They were knowledgeable, safety-conscious and entertaining. Our guides were Hayden, Johnny & Emily. Thanks for a great trip, guys!

Best Time on the River - We did a 1/2 day white water rafting trip with our tour guide Aiden. It was awesome! It was my first time rafting and Aiden was a great instructor and leader. He made me feel comfortable at all times and made the trip a combination of relaxing moments as well as moments filled with fun and adventure. Aiden was very personable and funny. He shared so much of his knowledge in a fun and interesting way. I highly recommend French Broad Adventures and definitely request Aiden as your guide! Hope you have as much fun as we did!

Exciting - Amazing views! Our rafting guide is so young but so experienced. I think his name is “ Chilly “ , a wonderful young man, very knowledgeable and friendly.

Fun times on the French Broad - Fun rafting trip with guide Clayton! The river was down due to lack of recent rain, but Clayton still found several rapids to make sure we got cooled off on a hot day. We stopped for a short time to allow for a refreshing swim. Good equipment (rafts, PFD's, helmets). Very professional safety briefing and video before the trip. Lunch buffet on an island was creative and delicious. Clayton is an excellent guide who is very knowledgeable about the river and the surrounding area. Photographer shot some fun family pictures for us (for sale at the end). Thanks for a great rafting trip!

Fun, fun, fun - 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.
