4 Things to Consider When Booking an NOC Raft Trip:

Adventure Level
Decide if you want intense action, a wilderness experience, a reinvigorating getaway or a bouncy ride with your family. Our rivers have different personalities and distinct experiences to offer.

Ages/Weights
Our rivers are regulated by the US Forest Service, and as such, they carry minimum age/weight requirements to raft. There is, however, a trip for almost anyone.

Location
Each river has a dedicated outpost. See which one is most convenient for you by checking out our maps, or plug the GPS coordinates into your navigation receiver.

Season
Everybody loves summertime rafting with its hot days and cool water, but don't forget that seasons change each river's atmosphere. Many guests prefer spring flowers and fall leaves, not to mention seasonal discounts.

Now that you have a better idea what you're looking for, check out the details on our nine rivers! And if you're still stumped, call our helpful reservationists. They're experts at helping you choose the right river.

"I was impressed with all your employees. From the phone reservationist, the guides and leaders on both of the trips, the restaurant and store staff and anyone else we came in contact with, they are all happy with their jobs and it comes across in a very positive way. NOC must be a great company to work for. Thanks for the adventures."
