REVIEWS

  • Had a great time!! The facilities were clean and we'll maintained. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Our guides, Merry, Emily and Michael were amazing. Definitely recommend requesting them if you're planning a trip to the Gorge. The zip lines provided amazing views and were a lot of fun! I will be going back and recommend everyone visit the Gorge

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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!

  • Had a great time ziplining at the Green River Gorge. The guides were great and everyone had a blast!

  • 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!
