REVIEWS

  • We were a group of 8 adults - old and young - and we had a great time with Jerry, Krista, and Chloe! Most of us had zipped and rappelled before but these lines, were higher, faster, and more scenic which made them lots of fun. The rappels were cool too. We got to do various poses for pictures on the way down. All of our pictures turned out great - fair price too. Our guides kept us safe and entertained all day. Highly recommend!

  • 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!

  • We came here to make memories with our thirteen year old son who is terminally ill with brain cancer. They were so incredibly accommodating, went above and beyond to make the experience a truly memorable, once in a lifetime chance. The guides, we had John and Jake, were hilarious, knowledgeable, experienced and all around excellent in every way. They made a super fun experience even better than expected. Everyone on staff treated us with the utmost kindness. The views are varied and gorgeous. Some of the ziplines go through the canopy, others give you a gorgeous open mountain view. The zip lines felt safe and they treat safety just like they treat fun, super seriously! I could not recommend this enough!

  • 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!

  • This was a fun and exciting experience! Our guides were John and Emily and they did a fantastic job! We had ziplined before, but our daughter never was able to get enough speed to make the end of the line. At the Gorge she didn't have that problem at all! Between the angle and build up of speed she made the end of every line! The rappels caused our daughter a little stress, but Emily did a great job helping her face her fear and realize how safe and fun it was!

  • 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!

    Cristi
  • It was my first time ever zip lining and I was nervous. The guides, John and Albert, made our group feel at ease from the start. They gave clear directions, were meticulous with safety practices, were encouraging, and hilarious. The scenery was beautiful and the course was a lot of fun! It was a great experience that I will absolutely do again. 12/10 highly recommend!
