What Our Guests Say

At NOC we strive to earn guests for life by providing the highest quality products, facilities and services available in outdoor recreation and education. Of course, you shouldn't just take it from us though. Below is a sample of how our guests feel about who we are and how we do our work:

"This was our 8th trip with NOC over the past 20 years. We keep coming back because we feel that safety is as important to the staff as having fun. We will continue to come back and recommend NOC to our family and friends."
A. Lyons

"I found NOC to be an outstanding organization. The facility and the people are some of the nicest I have ever met in the outdoor industry. You should be proud to be the leader of such an outstanding group of people."
S. Chase Ashtabula, OH

"[The Outfitter's Store Staff] was personable, polite and patient throughout and very willing to go the extra distance for me."
Dennis L. Taylor Summerville, SC

"Rafting down the French Broad River was an amazing day out. The scenery was beautiful and the historic stories our guide told us brought it all to life. We even saw a beaver. We've had a lot of fun all over ther U.S. these last months, but we all agreed this was the best day off of the whole tour."
Scott Wilkinson, Guitar and Vocals for rock group British Sea Power

"My ole Trek 8900 has seen me through many miles at Tsali. Each time I have had a problem, your fine staff has taken care of it quickly and at a fair price... It's important for you to know how your special service skills make trips go well. You save vacations for me and, I am sure, for many bikers."
Bill Longenecker

"I consider it an honor to have paddled with [your instructors], and they're people you should be very proud of. I just can't stop talking about my experience at NOC, and I plan to get back down there real, real soon."
Kenneth L. Robinson Jr. Washington, D.C.

"We just got back from a fantastic stay at NOC. We ate in all of your restaurants, shopped in your store and took a raft ride on the Nantahala. It was great and everyone was so friendly. The food was terrific and the service was great."
Rick and Michelle Loan

"This past weekend my wife and I had the rafting experience of a life time... Your experience and professionalism was evident the entire trip. Great job guys!"
Jim May

"Our experience at NOC was better than one can imagine... Each aspect of NOC that we dealt with was the same. Reservations, questions, registration, restaurant service and food: outstanding."
