"NOC is a professional, well-organized operation. They seem to have everything perfectly timed to stay on schedule. We expected the rafting to be a lot more thrilling. It was fun, but nowhere near the perilous adventure they make it out to be. A bus takes the rafters and guides to a drop off spot,..." and for the next hour or so you're swept down the Nantahala. The current is so swift that surprisingly little paddling is needed ( the guide does most of the paddling). This would be a nice trip for first time rafters with young children. The water is about 47 degrees, so don't expect to go for a dip, although you will get splashed and your feet get soaked from the self-bailing raft.

"While my husband and I and another couple enjoyed the white water rafting, our most favorite experience was the Mountain Top Zipline Adventure. This is a SERIOUS zipline, but even the faint of heart (like me) can really enjoy it thanks to the expert staff and the excellent equipment provided. (Spe..."aking of equipmpent, NOC also provides all the equipment you will need to do most all their adventures.) Our guides were "Sparky" and Charlie and they spent all the time necessary to suit us up and train us to do the zipline. They were fun, funny and kind to everyone, while also being professional in their jobs of making sure it was a SAFE trip. I am afraid of heights, but I made it through the 8 ziplines (one is 1/2 mile long) thanks to their encouragement. The price may seem a little steep, but I promise you it is so worth it that you'll want to go again! A special thanks to Kevin as well, who treated us like old friends. I can't say enough about their facilities and outfit.

"Loved the train ride. We booked the first class adults only car, and had a wonderful lunch and dessert. Not "exciting," but a very relaxing and enjoyable activity."
