    Amazing mountaintop ziplining during peak leaf changing! Although there were only three zips, they were all super long, fast, high up, and fun. Spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains during the autumn leaves gorgeousness. It was also nice to ride simultaneously, as they have two side by side zips. Our guides were great, and Navitat was very well organized and had a clean indoor area with restrooms, and hammock chairs outside while we waited for our tour. The only part I wasn't a fan of was the van ride up - extremely bumpy and the driver was blasting rock music. Some might enjoy this though as part of the adventure.

    WOW! This experience exceeded our expectations tenfold. Willy and Leap (Sam) were tremendous guides - knowledgeable, enthusiastic, encouraging, and helped to keep our small group at ease. We had terrific conversation and especially enjoyed the adventure-of-a van ride up to the top of the mountain. Such excitement, absolutely breathtaking views, and an all-around perfect day. We would highly recommend Navitat Canopy Adventures to anyone.

    We went on a Saturday around 1:10 and did the mountain top tour with JD and Tate - they were such great guides and had some pretty good dad jokes along the way. Definitely felt very safe and the views were very pretty! I’ve done a few zip lines before above the smokies and I do wish there was a little bit more thrill or maybe a few more zip lines, there was only 3, but the guides and the pictures definitely made the experience! Thank you! :)

    Our guides Greg and Victoria were nothing but amazing, and It's always great to see people who are passionate about their job and obviously love what they do! We had a fantastic time ziplining with them and learning about the local area. My group still talks about the bus ride up the mountain that I can best describe as a wild mystery machine experience. Sadly I didn't get the drivers name but 11/10 would ride again. We had a great time and are looking forward to coming back :)

    Our group had an absolute blast on our zip-line tour! We did the mountain top to mountain top one. Birch and Ilza were so great and so much fun to have as our guides! This was the first time here for all of us and we agreed that we’d love to return and do it all again sometime!

    Sydney and Nathan provided us with a great experience. I've never been zip lining and had no plans to ever do it because of my fear of heights but decided to join my kids. They made me feel at ease with their professionalism and their chill personalities. Zip lining here was amazing. The views are breath taking. I would do it again.

    Insane experience!! Big thanks to our guides Sam J. And Willy (Ben) 👍🏼. You guys made everything fun and safe. Being able to see the mountains and zip through the air and also having the guides be helpful and explain not only the zip lines but also your surroundings added to the experience. Pretty awesome. 100% one of a kind experience.

    Kole and Paxton were responsible, chill, quirky, and knowledgeable. Any questions we asked they had a thoughtful answer for us. We felt very safe and free. The hiking portion was enjoyable because they would stop to show us things in nature giving us a breather and knowledge to take home with us! I highly recommend doing the mountain top tour!

    Outstanding experience! Join the 3600 club! All the guides were so helpful and fun. We really enjoyed the hike and information about this region. Photos are awesome. Would suggest you take a group photo too!

    We did not the tree top canopy tour -- six zips of varying lengths through the tree tunnels and crisscrossing across the gorge. Beautiful scenery. Well worth pushing the comfort boundaries high up the hillside. Our guides, Alex and Greg were wonderful -- patient and expert, with knowledge of the foliage and the terrain. The body harnesses make for super-safe zipping -- anyone over 70 lbs, and even great for adventurous grandparents. No climbing involved, just a short hike at the end.

    We had an amazing experience with the mountaintop zip line adventure. You walk to three different platforms, the guides give plenty of time to rest as you hike to increased elevations, and they give history of the land and plants along the way. We had River and Spice as our guides and highly recommend them. They were engaging, funny and very professional at the same time as they adhered to all safety standards and made sure each of us was clipped in and secure at each launch point. We had a wonderful time and would do it again! Highly recommend

    If you're visiting Asheville and want to do something more active in the area, Navitat Canopy Adventures is a great option. Although I was nervous, the guides were great and reassuring, the ride up to the first launch point might be the scariest part of things? My tour consists of 6 or so zips and the first one is actually the longest one (scariest) to start and you get some very cool views. Overall it's a rush, a lot of fun and highly recommend it. I'll bump up to the Mountaintop tour next time I'm around! So a big thumbs up for Navitat, you'll get some endorphins and adrenaline along with a great view!

    We had a fantastic experience, our family including teenagers loved zipping with Navitat! We did the mountaintop tour. The courses were well designed, with what I feel the right amount of thrill still allowing for enough relaxation to admire the beautiful mountain views. Their equipment appeared to be very well maintained. The tour was organized well. Staff was professional, polite and helpful - they maintained an atmosphere of safety, provided great information during the hike and added some good humor to make the tour even more fun.

    12/10 AMAZING!!!! From the moment we arrived to the time we pulled out, everyone we encountered at Navitat was so friendly, professional, fun and just plain awesome. The company is top notch. Brinkley and Greg were our guides. They made us feel so safe and were an absolute blast to hang with. We brought our 8 yo daughter and enjoyed the treetop course. It was sooooo much fun!!! The Navitat experience was the highlight of our Asheville trip. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!!!

    I went zip lining here for my birthday here months ago and can't wait to go back. Sydney and River were awesome tour guides! Matt was a great van driver too! I did the mountaintop tour and it was incredibly. The views were gorgeous and I felt safe the entire time I was up there. I would for sure come back!

    My wife and I had a great first ziplining experience doing the ultimate package which is the treetop and mountain top tours together. I highly recommend doing both as they are different experiences and makes it a great full day adventure. Our guides for the day were Birch, Sydney, Emerson, and Victoria as well as the van driver Matt. They were all very knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to be around. During the tour they also point out and recommend visiting the craggy pinnacles mountain which is about a 45 min drive away but has excellent 360 degree views, even with overcast it was a great end to the day.

    Emerson and Jules were amazing guides! They were funny, but informative and very nice to hang out with! The views were amazing and I felt very safe the whole time! I also love the games/hammocks where you can hangout before your tour! We enjoyed celebrating my mom’s birthday here!

  • 5/5 Justin C. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome experience! Blue and Victoria were great. We went with a group of 6 and everyone had a blast! We will definitely be going back to do the treetop zip. With they had a food truck for afterwards but fantastic experience overall and already looking forward to our next adventure!

  • 5/5 Celeste N. 1 year ago on Google
    If I could give this place ten stars I would. We are from out of state and our first time zip lining from the mountains so this was enjoyable and fun for me and my partner. Sydney and Tate made our experience so great with their humor and expertise. I would recommend this to everyone I know and bring them back as well as come back again.

    Amazing experience! The views are amazing! The hike up is worth it. Our guides were Alex and Ilze and they were fantastic! So many great dad jokes and nature facts along the way. Would highly recommend. My parents did the atv tour so they could watch us and they had a great time with their guide, Willy.

    What a wonderful experience! Blue was our tour guide and instantly made our group feel at ease! Her high energy and positive attitude was one of the best parts about this trip. Personally I was a little nervous at first but knew that this was something I wanted to do. And it was worth every penny! For girls, I would recommend longer pants or longer shorts. The harness would have really rubbed on my legs if I had worn them. I would say this is a must do when in asheville. I think this would be particularly beautiful in the fall. Blue, if you're reading this, thanks for being great:)

    This was a wonderful adventure and fantastic way to start any day. We booked the Navitat Mountaintop Tour ahead of arriving in Asheville, NC for our vacation. This tour was as advertised and then some. Our guides Willie D. and Victoria were awesome, making this tour one of the best outings we had on this trip. Both were warm and welcoming while focusing on the safety required to enjoy this activity to its fullest. Their efforts as guides went beyond the tour as they were able to give us a great recommendation for a fun breakfast spot that we had right after the tour. The Navitat facility, equipment, and surrounding property are very nice and well maintained. Also, not advertised as part of the tour but the van ride up the mountain is an experience in itself; thanks to our driver I think his name was Jessie. This is well worth the value spent, thanks again Willie and Vitoria for making this a memorable fun experience. Would recommend if visiting Asheville.

    My family and I had a wonderful time doing the Treetop Tour. Kat and Tate we fantastic tour guides. They showed us edible leaves, shared stories from the property’s history, but it didn’t feel like they were performing. It felt like just a conversation with friends while doing a really cool activity on tree platforms where woodland elves live. The views were stunning. We will be back to do the Mountaintop Tour.

    Going to navitat for a zip lining adventure was a great decision! Upon arriving, we had some time to kill so we tried out a few of the many games they had to offer outside their main building. We played giant Jenga, cornhole. They offer many books to read as well as checkers and various seating areas and benches for guests who arrive early. Our touring party had 5 guests but parties can have up to 8. We chose to do the treetop tour which I would recommend for anyone as you get great views and more lines than the mountain top tour, plus it is a little more affordable. Our guides Brinkli and Josh were incredible and hilarious, everyone on our tour had a wonderful time and I would give all the credit to them. There was an issue with one of our guests on one of the lines and Brinkli jumped in quickly to correct the problem and make sure the guest was safe. For anyone looking to attend one of navitat’s many zip line tours I would strongly suggest requesting Josh and Brinkli.

    My husband and I went on the zip line tour at 2 pm with tour guides Greg and Mackenzie a couple weeks ago on May 17th, and we had an absolute blast! All of the staff were very friendly, and they made sure we all had a safe trip. The entire tour lasted about 2.5 hours. We were in a group of 9 so mostly everyone got the chance to zip line in pairs. For my 3rd time zip lining (different locations) it’s by far my favorite due to the scenery, ease, and overall environment ❤️

  • 5/5 Mark F. 9 months ago on Google
    Emerson was our guide today. He was amazing with his gentle approach with our hesitant family member. He was very knowledgeable about the native plants and trees. The Mountain Tour was a great experience. A Taco food truck and a bar would have been the best conclusion to an amazing day! Zeke…. Keep the Dad jokes going!

  • 5/5 Tracey C. 1 year ago on Google
    We couldn’t have asked for a better experience for the treetop tour. . Antonio and Alex were amazing guides. They helped my son to take on his fear when he got to the first zip line . Alex and Antonio were so mindful of everyone in the group. They were obviously very knowledgeable and skilled at taking people through the zip lines . My kids can’t wait to go back and do the mountaintop tour. I would recommend the tour to anyone looking to have a great zip line experience.

    We did the mountain top zipline tour. Pretty awesome! Great views of the mountains and nature. Our tour guides Brinkley, Lexi, and Victoria were great at their job. Made it fun and enjoyable.

  • 5/5 Steven D. 9 months ago on Google
    12/10 recommend! Absolutely awesome experience and felt completely safe the entire time! Our guides, Leap and Willy-D were super knowledgeable and fun to hang around too! The drive up the mountain side was so relaxing too! Our driver, Alex, took great care to cruise gently along the well maintained, beautiful trail. Couldn’t have had better guides! If you’re here for a day, or a week, this place is a MUST!

    We did this adventure 3/28/23. We had two great guides, Brinkley and Parker. They kept us well informed along with providing us with very interesting nature knowledge along our route. We did have a hike up to 2nd zip line but didn't rush anyone and would provide stops and explain a nature fact. I personally didn't know any of the facts they provided. That was a cool addition. They acted professionally and put up with our laughter and humor. The lines had great views. I've done other zip lines and their equipment was awesome. A wonderful experience.

    Last week we spent the week in Asheville doing all outdoor adventure activities. A friend recommended Navitat zip lining and we did the tree top canopy tour with our 2 boys and 2 of their friends, all under 13. The tour consisted of 6 zips and all the kids (and us!) had a blast. Matt and Antonio were super awesome, kept everything really fun and very safe! We will definitely go back and do the Mountain top zips next time.

👍👍 We stopped here while coming back from Cherokee and it was well worth it. A lot of info inside and very detailed map of blue ridge parkway. If you are planning on going then you must stop here. I also saw people just hanging outside and eating their lunch. There are restrooms inside as well as a gif...
