The Chattooga River is without a doubt the Southeast's premier whitewater rafting adventure. In fact, Southern Living called rafting the Chattooga "The #1 Thing Every Southerner Ought to Do." The Chattooga was federally protected in 1974 by the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act, forever preserving its rugged river gorge from development. Thus, the Chattooga delivers breathtaking scenery and treasured whitewater in an unmatched wilderness setting. NOC's Chattooga Outpost has been leading trips on the Chattooga since our company's inception in 1972. In fact, our company founder Payson Kennedy was a stunt double in Deliverance. NOC's Chattooga guides are among the nation's most elite whitewater guides. They receive industry-leading training and are also equipped with the most modern river equipment.

The segment of the Intracoastal Waterway that traverses through the Myrtle Beach area is very diverse in both visual beauty and activities for boaters and vacationers. The southern segment of the Myrtle Beach waterway is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful stretches of the entire Atlantic ICW. The northern segment hasn't received the accolades that the southern segment has. Boat taxi has several tours for everyone, cruising, fishing,exploring and Waters-sport activities.
