REVIEWS

  • Terrific experience, this was my second time ziplining and it was a Blast, Cody was hilarious and did a great job of making things entertaining and enjoyable, she also was really good at Calming the nerves of the people who were scared. The other guide broden wasn't very good he barely spoke and often spoke in a flat monotone like he was bored, luckily Cody more than made up for with her fun personality and wonderfully terrible puns. If you go ask for Cody and you'll have a great time.

  • I've done other zipline courses and The Gorge has been one of the best so far. Flying through the canopies was a major thrill. When there was a clearing the views were spectacular. Wade and Trey were our guides and did an excellent job of keeping us safe and yet making it entertaining. Also, Sophie was very helpful in getting me booked for the Zipline and the Upper Green River Adventure.

  • This experience was wonderful. Simultaneously relaxing and exhilarating, you can tell the people who designed it love adventure and nature. The zip lines had beautiful views and the speed that were interspersed with the walking bridge, the two rappel lines, and the little bit of hiking. The hiking wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, but I could definitely tell the steps were made for taller people. I’ve been telling everyone that this experience far exceeded my expectations. As cool as it was to zip line through the trees or rappel like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible, I contend the experience was made much richer because of the people I met. We had a varied group that I had a wonderful time chatting with in between zip lines. Wade and Lia were wonderful and hilarious, and their different personalities were delightful to experience. Wade was clearly very comfortable with the material, running through safety instructions and giving directions in a humorous and sarcastic way. Lia was informative and engaging as she shared a good pirate joke and information about some of her favorite trees we came across. Wade enriched the experience with witty banter, but I’m eternally grateful for Lia offering reassurances when I was nervous about the rappel line. Cannot recommend this experience or Wade and Lia enough!

  • It was easy to find, clean, and staffed with incredibly friendly people! My 2 guides (Faye and Wade) were fun, helpful, kind, personable, and full of tour guide required corny jokes!! Faye took great photos throughout our ziplining experience and they are priced fairly for what you get. I've been ziplining many times in many different places, but this was my first time in the NC mountains and the environment and view was beautiful!! All of the gear was in great condition and clean. The stopping system was a bit harsher than others, but after the 2nd or 3rd you get used to it and it's actually kind of fun. Some of the lines were incredibly fast and long, which was great for my adrenaline loving heart! And the repels are actually quite relaxing. 10/10 would recommend and would do again!

  • What an AMAZING experience. I did the zip line with a group of 5 and Emma and Bella were our guides. Both of them were extremely professional and Emma was so amazing she is the Michael Jordan of zipline guides. The thrill was awesome and the views breathtaking! I highly recommend!

  • I've been to The Gorge twice and each time was a great experience. This most recent visit we had Veto and Emma as guides and they were so knowledgeable and paid close to to attention, I felt very safe with them. They both were friendly, caring, and thoughtful. I definitely would go back to The Gorge. Great experience always

  • While visiting the Asheville area, my sister and I decided on an adventure at The Gorge. It was exciting, fun and beautiful. Our guides, Lauren and Max, were both super positive and enthusiastic. I had a difficult time on the landings due to a bad knee and they both helped out so much. Definitely recommend!
