  • 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!

  • I was going to be in town for a few days and booked my time slot in advanced. I arrived early as requested and started promptly with the introduction and orientation. Kaden?? and John were our guides and the two are AMAZING!!! We moved to the practice platform and proceeded with the first zip line. As you move from line to line, the excitement just keeps building up! By default, a zip line is a very fast activity and with that speed comes braking, having to stop abruptly. Hard! For some this can make or break the experience. It’s a physical activity that can be intimidating for some. Adjusting your technic is what will help as you progress down the lines. The views are jaw dropping❤️ Pictures are taken throughout the time and a photo package can be purchased of everyone that was part of your tour once you return to the entrance. They have a wide variety of products, snacks and drinks you can take with you or enjoy in the outdoor sitting area. Don’t think of it any longer, Buy your tickets you won’t regret it!!!! Thank you for everyone at The Gorge for providing a lifelong experience to remember ⛰️☀️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 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).

  • Such an amazing experience! The views were spectacular. Our guides Boden & Connor were excited and positive, yet also took safety so seriously! They kept making jokes which made it even more fun. They took several photos that we ended up purchasing as well. Will definitely go again if we are in the area in the future

  • 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.

  • 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!
