While 11 zip lines, 3 rappels, and a ball-buster suspension bridge challenges even the experienced crowd, we newbies had a wonderful time! Benny and Gerry were fantastic guides, coaches, and even therapists for some of us. I'm 65, not in the best shape, and a bit frightened of heights (well, a lot!) and these 2 guys were supportive, patient, and OK...even funny. They made the day amazing and all five of us want to say thanks again for a great time!!

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

Wade was an awesome guide. Can’t remember the other guy they were both fantastic very personable. They worked with the safety 100% the every time They are very informative. I highly recommend them.

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!!

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

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).

What an AMAZING experience. I did the zip line with a group of 5 and Emma and Bella were our guides. Both of them were extremely professional and Emma was so amazing she is the Michael Jordan of zipline guides. The thrill was awesome and the views breathtaking! I highly recommend!

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.

Rick
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!
