We were lucky to be able to go on our first zipline adventure the day of the ribbon cutting on May 9th. It was a beautiful day with the sun shinning and slight wind blowing. We were a little concerned about zipping and repelling down the mountain since I had just turned 70 and my wife was 69. But with... More

I was about 18 weeks pregnant (2nd Trimester) when I went on this trip with my partner. We went up to Level 3 Rapids and it was thrilling and fun. Lunch consisted of a hot dog and burger cookout overlooking a beautiful scenery. All of the workers were so helpful and funny. If you are pregnant, get the extra large... More

Everyone at French Broad is so friendly and funny. They really want you to have a great time. The scenery was stunning and the rapids were perfect for first-timers. We stopped for lunch and our guide actually grilled out for us. It was so worth it!!!

The day was cold and cloudy (March), but the staff at FBR was great. Tom was a great guide (and dude). Everyone in the family (ages 9 thru 43 had fun) and the river is super-scenic. We'll be back to raft again and visit their soon-to-be-open zip lines.
