REVIEWS

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Great guides! Even better views! Booked the early morning experience. Perfect weather! Had a great time all in all! 10/10 recommend. Shout out to Caden for all the new corny dad jokes I’ve added to my core memory 🤣. And John for the funny comments. They were VERY knowledgeable just not about zipping but about the trees and the land. They were able to answer every and ANY questions we had!

  • Trey and John were our guides and kept us on pace and were a lot fun too. I have gone zip lining one other time and decided it would be fun to do it again. This time my husband and I went. It was his first time. To say it was a rush and a wonderful thrill does not do our experience.justice. The views were exhilarating and the challenge was overcome. The Gorge was a 3.5-4 hr tour-you will get your money’s worth of adventure! Do it!

  • What a WONDERFUL experience. Gerry and Zach were entertaining and professional. Safety was the number one priority followed closely by fun and dad jokes. The course is beautiful. The company's mission to preserve the forest that they borrow for this adventure is inspiring. Thank you for the thrill and the tour through the canopy!!

  • 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.

  • My partner & I can't on Memorial Day weekend & had an amazing time. The views were absolutely spectacular & our guides, Connor and Emma were fantastic - knowledgeable, professional, thorough and funny. I'd never been zip lining before & they made me feel prepared & very comfortable. If you're thinking about going, definitely do it - the experience was well worth the money.

  • Five stars exclusively for our guides. Amazing experience. The forest, the views, the thrill. Juan and John were fantastic handling a group of 8 effectively, moving the group fast, explaining in detail, and having fun in the meantime. We loved that Juan speaks Spanish, was fun and and encouraged us, and how Josh moved with precision and speed. Waiting between zip lines for previous groups took away from the experience. It’s also over priced for what it offers, especially for a large group. I will do it again next time in Saluda (and this is coming from a person with a fear of heights).

  • Our experience at The Gorge was so much fun. We had Paladin and Josh for our guides and they were knowledgeable, funny, professional and very helpful. The whole experience was top notch. The equipment and course were very well maintained and both guides could answer any question they were asked. They definitely made it fun for all of us. The course is challenging because there are so many zips and the landings are a little jarring. This is due to the braking system used, but it is safe and you get used to the abrupt stops. I would only caution anyone with a bad neck or back. Other than that, I highly recommend The Gorge zip lines to anyone who likes a little adventure!
