Get away from the crowds, lines and concrete of Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge for a day of fun in the trees! River crossings, rock cliffs, waterfalls, Rabbit Hole repel, sky bridges, wildlife & more are the things that make the Pigeon River Canopy Tour a once in a lifetime trip. For a full day adventure add a Pigeon River whitewater rafting trip & lunch at the Dog House with Wildwater and receive 10% off your entire days activities all at one location!Enjoy a trip on the only zip line to take you 1200' across the Pigeon River! The Pigeon River Canopy Tours is an adventure that takes you "over the river and through the woods," but not to Grandmas house! Rather this exciting yet not scary ride gives you the opportunity to see the world like you've never seen it before, gliding from tree to tree, learning about your surroundings and taking in the scenery. « less

This was our sons' first times to zipline. They were so excited. Pigeon River Canopy Tours delivered a thrilling experience for both our 10 and our 15 year old. Finding activities that all ages can enjoy can be difficult, but zip lining was a terrific choice. The views were spectacular, the equipment and guides kept us feeling safe, and the... More

I really wanted to give this an Excellent but after paying for the family to go, my wife got up on the tower and decided it wasn't for her. The boys and I were on another tower as we went first so I really didn't know what was going on until the 2nd guide zipped across and said she didn't... More

Thanks for your comments. We are so glad we were able to add your tour to the end of the day. Unfortunately, it takes 3-4 employees to remain open as we did and our team factored in the 4 participants when making the decision to remain open and add the late afternoon tour. That's what we are there for and... More

The staff is well trained, knowledgeable, and very friendly. They were very accommodating when asked to take photos/videos. The course itself was amazing - we did the longer tour and were glad we chose that one. The guides showed us where you would stop for the shorter tour, and you would really miss out on some fun stuff! The equipment... More

I had so much fun zipping "over the river an through the woods" to explore the "big kid treehouse" adventure on the other side. I am scared of heights so I was a bit hesitant to go zip lining, but all the staff, including our guides Mike and Chris, were amazing and made me feel so comfortable...after the first zip... More

Chris and Mike were very professional and personable. My wife and I lucked out and ended up the only ones on the tour, so it was awesome having such down to earth guys running the tour.

I needed something extra fun for my 17 yr old son and I to do while vacationing in Gatlinburg. SLAM DUNK! The 12 line tour was fantastic!! Amazing views!! I wish I could have stopped over the river to gaze at nature's wonder. Steve-O & Del RIo were completely professional and entertaining. I swear, my son was smiling the whole... More

Was totally awesome, one of the top two experiences of our trip. Katie was so accommodating to us, even when we got lost and missed our appointment. Katie is a great addition to Pigeon River Canopy Tours. Will definitely do this again when we go on our next vacation there. Mike and Mike were totally awesome tour guides, will ask... More

My wife had to talk me into this adventure as I am afraid of heights. I am so glad she did! We had a blast and the heights didn't bother me at all! She on the other hand isn't afraid of heights but got a little nervous her first zipline! After she mastered the first couple zips she was fine... More

I took a friend of mine here for his birthday & we had the best time! Our guides were Mark & Del Rio & they were funny, knowledgeable & I felt very safe with them. We got the 7 line package, but I wish I would've paid the extra money for package upgrade so I could've zip lined some more... More

Chris and Trent were fun and entertaining guides! Our family had a great time, even though we just did the shorter course. We felt safe (maybe a little shaky on the tower that sways a bit!), and it was fun zipping through the trees and across the river. Fun experience. Our kids are 10, 12, and 14. It was exciting...
