We loved our navitat adventure, which was part of our 10th anniversary celebration weekend away from the kids. Neither my wife nor I knew what to expect. We found it exhilerating, not too scary, and not a physical workout at all. The weather was great, even though we did a 1pm tour. It took almost exactly 3 hrs. 15 minutes,... More

While this tour may be priced a bit higher than other local tours, it is well worth the money. The location is perfect so that you zip from one side of a mountain to another with beautiful natural views of mountains and sky. Our guides, Andrew and Brett, were very smart and very professional. There were 8 in our tour,... More

Quite a few friends had suggested Navitat to us- friends in their 20's to a friend in her late 60's! And they were right! We went today- had perfect weather- great, friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining guides (shout out to John C. and Brittany), and a wonderful adventure! I felt safe and relaxed the whole visit and didn't want the trip... More

Where do I begin? This was an AMAZING experience, I am still telling people about it and you will too once you do it. Our guides Brian and Jason were fantastic and very professional. Safety was always key and they made sure our whole group was well taken care of. I always felt safe. Just being up in the mountains... More

We made reservations for ziplining at Navitat as recommended by the concierge at our hotel. What a great tip. I have to ditto the other reviewers. It was fun, safe and exciting. Our guides Mike and Jessie were exceptional and made us feel comfortable. We are all @60 year old females and never felt intimidated or uncomfortable. What a great... More

Zips were great, guides were terrific. Have ziplined at a number of locations in the US and these were the longest runs we've seen. Plan to return when they open their next park! More

We went in September but recently went to another ziplining place and have something to compare it to. Our recent adventure proved that Navitat is a top-noth operation. The adventure is in the hills a little north of Asheville. The staff members in the welcome center were really nice. The guides took us in the hills to the start of... More

We booked our adventure at the recommendation of the innkeeper at the B&B we stayed at. What a great recommendation. The adventure starts when you arrive and start putting the harness and safety gear on. Once you reach the beginning of the course there are 2 zip runs for you to decide if you're up to doing the rest of... More

We attempted to go on the Asheville zip line trip but they said they were closed on that particular Monday. (although website stated that they should be open) I then called Navitat to see if they had an opening for my teenaged son. They said yes so we ventured the 30 minutes or so up to Barnardsville from Asheville. First,... More

I am not a fan of heights, with that said, this was one of the best things I've ever done! It was a Christmas gift for my husband. We visited Navitat on the 2nd day of their season this year. We had two fun and safe guides-Austin and Brian (one of the guides even showed us his double jointed jaw!!!... More
