This was fun and definitely something we had never done before, but overall this cost us almost $200! Yikes! The website says something about it taking 2 1/2 hours.... well afterwards we realized that our total time actually zipping was an hour at most. I understand that they have to teach you how to do it right and get you... More

The views are great and the lines are fast but what makes a zip line fun is the guides. On March 28, 2013 I was on a tour with Colby and Raven. They were great. Safety first and a whole lot of fun. I highly recomend this attraction for young and old.

My sweetheart and I spent a weekend in the Nantahala gorge and couldn't have had a better time. It was such a wonderful and exciting adventure. The views were breathtaking and our guides were great! They were a great crew with first class service. Couldn't have asked for more.

My husband and I returned to the Nantahala Gorge ziplines last September. They had added more bridges and ziplines since we had first been there. We didn't think it could get any better after our first ziplining experience but the new bridges and lines were more challenging and afforded some beautiful views of Lake Fontana and Clingman's Dome. Our guides... More

Our guides were a lot of fun yet very professional. It is definatly worth the money. The views from the platforms are outstanding. Zip lining fast through the gorge. There were about 9 people in our group the youngest was ten. Everyone had a blast including my husband who is afraid of heights. Colby and Panda were great guides who... More

Friendly and welcoming staff and manager, clean and organized. Safe and secure. The procedures were easily explained equipment was top-of-the-line. Took a nice- short hike up to the beginning, had 13 different lines to zip on. The way they go from one line to the other was just as fun (to me) as the zipping. Walking across the swinging walkways.... More

My daughter and I went on a mother daughter weekend and ziplining was on the top of our list. It was a first for both of us and it was an awesome experience. Our guides Colby and Panda made it enjoyable. I can't wait to do it again!

Back in May I traveled to Nantahala for a commercial shoot for work. I was looking for a little more adventure and stopped by the Nantahala Gorge Canopy Tours.
