This was my second time white water rafting, but first time here. It was my wife's first time ever. We happened to be the only two in the raft besides Dirty Mike. He was a terrific guide. He told us about all the local things we could do outside of rafting as well as everything about the river. The water was flowing slowly today, but enough to get us pretty wet. This company is all about your experience and not the profit. They stopped at one point and let us surf in one of the rapids. We already plan on bringing the kids back. If you have kids under 8, they have a rafting trip for that as well. "Uncle Stevie" promises to have sauce on him next time. Thanx again Dirty Mike

We did the Upper Pigeon trip with AJ and it was amazing! It was our first time rafting and we got quite the rush on some of the rapids. Our pictures at the end were awesome! This was truly the high point of our trip and I would highly recommend it to others.

We were on a couples trip and decided to go white water rafting for the first time. This was a great experience and thrilling activity. Mack was our guide and we all thought he was the best, with a lot of personality, jokes, great stories, and historical and river information that kept the trip interesting. The sign up process is easy, and you can fill out all forms prior to arriving, saving time. They give you all the equipment needed, and offer comprehensive safety training. We all felt confident after this training. The lower Pigeon river offers a great mix of floating, large and smaller rapids, and a beautiful scene for the trip. We were able to jump out at one point for a quick swim which was invigorating. We cannot wait to go again, and we would absolutely use NOC again. Great experience and a highlight of a wonderful couples trip.
