    Today we did the 11 zip lines and three repels With eight from our Ski Club. The zip lines were really wonderful. Our guides were professional, knowledgeable, and fun. The weather was perfect as well as the temperature and scenery. The facilities were clean and very neat. I was more than impressed by my experience at the gorge.

    We had an all around great experience at The Gorge Zipline. Our guides Soren and Kaden were fun, professional, and always ensured safety. The views were breathtaking, the zips were exhilarating, and the whole team was fantastic. The ziplines were longer and faster than we had done with other outfitters in the past. A small degree of physical fitness is recommended. I would highly recommend adding this experience to your itinerary!

    We had a great time at The Gorge Zipline in Saluda, NC. Our guides, Cat and Benny, were great! They made sure everyone understood the assignment "GRAB THE CABLE!", they ensured our safety, and most of all they made sure we had fun. They work really well together. All of the staff with whom we interacted were great. The timing of our adventure was perfect for seeing the leaves in full Fall color. So beautiful and peaceful. Thank you for a great time! I highly recommend taking this adventure with this team.

    Had an amazing time ziplining with The Gorge on my recent trip to NC! The views were incredible and the whole experience was so much fun and full of adrenaline. What really made it special, though, were our guides, Kaden and Rebecca. They were so friendly, positive, and fun to be around. They kept everyone laughing, made us feel safe and comfortable, and brought such great energy to the adventure. Highly recommend The Gorge for an unforgettable zipline experience!

    We booked our tour at the last minute and so glad we did! The ziplining experience was the highlight of our vacation. We can't say enough good things about this company and Wade and Cat who made it an awesome adventure. We never thought we could combine the beauty of nature, laughter, and the exhilaration of going down the side of mountain into one experience and feel totally safe the entire time. We can't wait to come back to the area and book the experience again.
