The Gorge Zipline - Saluda NC - Zipline Canopy 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!

We had an excellent time zip lining over the gorge! The weather and scenery were perfect! Our guides, Wade and Lauren, made the experience super fun with their personable and professional demeanor through our adventure! We highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique way to enjoy the beauty of the mountains in Saluda!

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!

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!

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!!

Natalie
Amazing adventure! Alan and Paladin were fantastic guides- they explained everything clearly, kept the mood light and fun while keeping safety the priority!!! We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and our guides made it memorable from start to finish-even with the ‘dad’ jokes! Thank you Alan and Paladin for helping create a great memory for our father/daughter adventure wknd.

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!
