Nantahala Fully Guided
Fully guided trips guarantee one of NOC's expert guides in every raft. Fully guided Ducky trips provide you with instruction from an NOC guide who paddles along with you, but you are the captain of your duck, or inflatable kayak. For more information on Duckies, visit our Rafting FAQ page.

Nantahala Guide-assisted
Guide-assisted means there's a guide in every other raft. This gives you the option of captaining your own raft, with the security of knowing a skilled guide is always nearby.

Nantahala Raft Rentals allow experienced rafters to navigate their own trip. Various raft sizes, single and double ducks available. Raft rentals are exclusive to the Nantahala River, which is perfect for beginners and families. Click here for more details about Nantahala River whitewater.
