Hands down the best money I have ever spent on an adventure/excursion/experience! Flying through the air over the valleys was incredible. We had the best tour guides! Hunter and Bob not only made it so much more fun and comfortable (first time Zippers😊), but they were both super friendly and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna (ask for Hunter and Bob!!). Thank you to the amazing staff for everything!

We had the best time at Navitat. Put aside your fear of heights and allow yourself to be captured by overwhelming beauty and fun, on these zip lines. The booking process was super easy. Upon arrival we checked in easily then discovered hammocks and games outside. We should have come earlier to use them! The guides were hilarious and made us feel super safe. They had systems of safety yet it wasn’t robotic. The ride up the hill was like riding a bronco and set the scene for the adrenaline that was about to unfold. The first zip line was perfectly set up. Once hooked in, you got to walk off the sloping platform at your own pace. It was a really classy experience. The middle zip line which went from mountain to mountain features in day dreaming fantasies I have. You’re blissfully unaware of the speed you’re travelling at, instead fully in awe at the environment you are visiting from an eagle lens. It truly was a gift. When I’m back in the area, I will do every tour they have. It was an incredible experience. Thank you Navitat and your amazing crew!!

I don't think I can say enough positive things about our expierence at Navitat!! Everyone we encountered was so nice and helpful. From check in, to entertainment while you wait, to the van ride and the zip itself, truly amazing. This was our first time zip lining and definitely will not be our last. We chose to do the Mountain Top and we're so glad we did! Long and fast zip lines with breathtaking views! Josh and Ethan were our guides and super knowledgeable and friendly. If you've never been I highly recommend Navitat! You will not be disappointed!

What an amazing experience! We had so much fun zip lining through the mountains. Hunter and Kali were wonderful guides - we felt super safe the whole way through, they explained everything and also taught us about the forest while we were walking between zip lines.

An Unforgettable Experience with Hunter and Greg! From start to finish, our adventure with Navitat Canopy Adventures was nothing short of amazing—and that’s all thanks to our incredible guides, Hunter and Greg! They were fun, energetic, and completely engaged with our group the entire time. Their humor and enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable, while their professionalism and attention to safety gave us complete peace of mind. Whether we were ziplining through the trees or just soaking in the stunning views, Hunter and Hunter kept the vibes high and the group connected. They made sure everyone felt comfortable, safe, and confident, no matter their experience level. If you’re thinking about visiting Navitat, do yourself a favor and ask for Hunter and Greg. They truly elevated the entire adventure and turned it into a memory we’ll never forget. Can’t recommend them enough!

We had the BEST time at Navitat thanks to our incredible guides, Jo and Hunter! Our group of four (two in our 30s, two in their 50s) had a private-feeling tour since the other party was a no-show, and it honestly made the whole experience even more special. Jo and Hunter were not only extremely professional and safety-conscious, but they also made the tour fun and engaging from start to finish. Their mix of nature facts, local history, pop culture references, and personal stories made the time between zip lines just as enjoyable as the zipping itself. Their personalities were warm, upbeat, and totally welcoming - the kind of people you’re instantly glad to have met. The clubhouse was also a highlight - super clean, modern, and had that perfect outdoor rec meets summer camp vibe. It made getting geared up and hanging out beforehand a great part of the experience. We left smiling ear to ear. If you’re on the fence - go! And if you get Jo and Hunter as your guides, you’re in for something truly memorable.

I visited Navitat zip lines this past weekend with a friend for the 1st time and did the Mountain Top adventure. It was amazing! The views were spectacular and we traveled three zip lines that gave you a sure flying feel! Safety is an absolute for this group. They worked diligently and also were very prompt to give individualized attention. They called everyone by name which was super impressive. Our guides, BLU and XENA were the best! They were so knowledgeable and had so much passion for their work. Definitely recommend reservations. I can’t wait to go back!

Zeek and Liv were the best tour guides for us first time zip liners! We appreciated how knowledgeable they were about the mountains and trees we were flying through and had a fun time with the jokes Zeek had all throughout the corse. Liv was especially a savior when one of us got a bit stuck on the line as well. We will definitely be back again to try the other corses!

While I was visiting Asheville this fall, I started exploring what I could do that was more active in the area and Navitat Canopy Adventures popped up so I did some research. 5 stars on multiple online review platforms and the Yelp reviews are strong so I sign up! And then spent all night wondering if I did the right thing... The next morning, I head on over, Navitat is northeast of Asheville proper and it takes about 30 minutes to get up there. Park your car in the dusty, dirt lot and get registered in the main building. I joined a family of four on the trip and they had two young boys (brave) doing the standard canopy tour. The guides strap you into your harness and while the helmet has an GoPro, adventure cam mount, I decide to hand-hold mine. You then take their super 4-wheel drive van up to the first zip line launch point and it is INSANE. The road this van traverses is not really a road, it's a mountain goat path but somehow you get up there. At times it feels as if the van is at a 45 degree angle but it's got some power. You get clipped in at the first tree stand, high off the ground. Then your zipline trolley is clipped in and your guide is chatting with the other guide on the other end by walkie-talkie. You're given the clear sign and off you go, whoosh! You're now flying above the trees and watching the foliage go by, cool! And my adventure cam is sort of tricky, if you take a hand off the trolley you start to spin around which is not comforting. My tour consists of 6 or so zips and the first one is actually the longest one (scariest) to start. And the guides are great, reassuring me since I'm nervous but I get over it soon. Overall it's a definite rush, a lot of fun and outside of some hiking through to the launch points, low-impact and easy. Will definitely do it again, next time I'm in the area but upgrade to the advanced Mountaintop tour! And all the five star reviews? Yeah, Navitat has earned them in my eyes...

The people here are amazing! They worked diligently to be sure the incoming rain didn't completely ruin our day of zipping. They were all kind, funny, considerate & very safety conscious every step of the way. We were a group of 50+ women, and most of us had never zipped before, so they had their hands full with our nerves & jitters, but the guides were spectacular and made us all feel like rock stars by the time it was over. Cannot wait to visit them again!

Amazing experience, would recommend it to all friends and family. Max and Leap were amazing guides and so patient when we had difficulties on the trail. They never rushed us and always told us to take our time. This was my first time ziplining and I can confidently say because they were so patient with me I would absolutely do this again! Thank you guys for making my birthday special

At 75 yr old I signed up for my first zip line experience. it was fantastic. zipping on top & though the trees. Yes it was scary but Gabby and Blue explained and took so much care that I was not panicked stepping off the platform the first time. It just got better & better. The setting is breathtaking and the people that work here are dedicated, well trained & delightful.

Our experience at Navitat Canopy Adventure in Asheville, NC, was excellent, thanks mainly to Dori and Parker. From start to finish, they made our adventure unforgettable. Dori's expertise and enthusiasm were infectious. She guided us through every step of the way, ensuring our safety while also encouraging us to embrace the thrill of the ziplines and challenges. Her knowledge of the courses and the local area added extra enjoyment to the experience. Parker's professionalism and attention to detail were remarkable. He meticulously followed all safety protocols, allowing us to feel completely secure throughout the adventure. His friendly demeanor and patience with our questions made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. The courses were exhilarating, offering breathtaking views of Asheville's beautiful landscape. Each zipline and obstacle provided just the right amount of challenge, suitable for beginners and those seeking a more adrenaline-filled experience. Overall, Navitat Adventure exceeded our expectations, thanks to Dori and Parker's exceptional service and the thrilling courses they oversee. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned adventurer, I highly recommend Navitat for an unforgettable outdoor experience in Asheville. Thank you so much to you both!

This was awesome. We did the Mountain View trail/zip, I have to say that it was the best choice to start my adventures. The trail guides Oscar and Ethan ( I hope that's his name) were the best.

We had an amazing time! The views were incredible and the ziplines were exhilarating. You feel like you're flying over the mountains! Our guides Parker and Candace were incredibly knowledgable about Asheville and the surrounding mountains and they were so much fun! We would do this again in a heartbeat!

I started off very nervous at first as I had never been zip lining ever before but the amazing tour guide, Teresa, made it an incredible time with her great energy and sharing her knowledge of the area. A second guide, Spork, had also tagged along to ensure everyone was clipped into the lines correctly. A lot of precautions are taken to ensure safety and you will also be told what to do and not to do while ziplining. Honestly, but the mini bus that takes you up to the first zip line is scarier than the zip line itself and I have a fear of heights! Definitely would recommend this zip lining to others if you can make the trek out here. Thanks again Teresa for being awesome!

This place is awesome! Teresa was so helpful and patient with questions and fears. She really went above and beyond. Everyone in our group had a blast. Beautiful views and knowledgeable guides. We will definitely be back. We did the treetop one and got a go pro. Would highly recommend getting the go pro! It was so cool to see our adventure. The only thing that would be even better is having a food truck or something there for after. There are wonderful hammocks, rocking chairs, and picnic tables surrounded by trees and it would be great to be able to eat and enjoy it. Just a suggestion!

This was truly and amazing and well run adventure. They have 3 of the best zip lines I have ever experienced and their guides made sure we were safe and had fun. Zena was our main guide and we ended up having River join us on the last zip. They were both great and so knowledgeable about the area and plant life. Also shout out to Cali who sent us off the first zip line. Highly recommend this for families or groups. This is a first class business and adventure.

We had an amazing afternoon at Navitat. We were led by Teresa & Spork, and had a blast. They both added to such an amazing experience. We were able to book day of, online. When we arrived, parking and checking in was easy. We were greeted warmly and walked through all the safety measures. Teresa was so encouraging and we loved her patient and light attitude. We had such a great time & highly recommend this experience!

We just wanted to take a moment to thank the entire Navitat NC family for a great experience today. This was our children's first time ziplining and not only did they love it, they felt 100% comfortable, and had a great time. We attribute that to not only a wonderful and safe environment but to Dory, Liv S and Rya being amazing hosts. Not only did they keep us safe, but were awesome at helping to make it entertaining. Thank you all for everything. For those concerned about safety, I can tell you that from the moment you enter the parking lot it is a well maintained and safety minded environment. They used quality equipment, made sure everyone understood the safety rules, and continuously were mindful about it.

Parker and Emma gave an very informative tour. I have had many experience's with zip lining but the 2 ladies with me, it was their first time. Parker did a great job of helping them feel comfortable and secure during this adventure! He also taught us a lot about the native plant and canopy eco system

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

My husband and I decided to try the Mountain Top Zip Lining Tour to celebrate our 1-Year Anniversary. The experience definitely exceeded expectations; we were met with nothing but kindness upon arrival. Not far from Asheville, but in our over-preparedness, we checked-in with an hour to spare. There were plenty of fun games to occupy us, and beautiful views and weather to embrace. Our guides River, Spice, and Willy went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and secure during the course. From fun-facts about the property, to interesting descriptions of the equipment.. I'm looking at you Tootsie Roll... We had a great time! Very relaxing and an overall invigorating experience.

Great family adventure! Staff (Max and Kat) is truly exceptional! It's 3 zip lines that are extremely fast and fun. Be prepared to walk quite a bit and on incline between the zip lines, but the staff makes it fun and entertaining with severe stops to tell stories and point out interesting facts.

SOOO much Fun! If you're in the Asheville area, you should do this! Super-professional guides and views of the Blue Ridge like nobody's business. Props to our guides, Lauren and Nathan. Really, really great experience.

What a thrilling experience! If you've ever wanted to go zip lining, this is your best bet. They offer several courses depending on how high up you want to go. We did the Mountaintop which is the highest and longest. While it's a big nerve racking at first, the guides make you feel confident and comfortable. The views are spectacular and it's such a rush to be high above the treetops. I'd love to go back and do the nighttime course as well.

Fantastic time. I had no idea how much fun zip lining could be. The scenery was perfect (fall colors in full) and the guides were incredible. I am recommending this to everyone I know. The road to the top was wild, and the second zip line was my favorite (mountain top tour). Going back again (maybe for the night version?)

What an incredible experience! The Mountaintop Tour did not disappoint. Our guide Alex was the absolute best. I have a fear of heights, and was a bit anxious at times. My wife, the same. However, once you take off, the views and thrills took over. We left feeling so glad we went. It was one of the most thrilling experiences we've ever had!

We loved our guides Gabby and Rainer. They were so knowledgeable about the nature, flora and fauna of the area. We learned so much, laughed a lot, and felt like we had good friends to guide us felling so taken care of, supported and safe! We loved the zip lining adventure - a must for anyone!!!

Amazing zip lining trip!! We signed up to go with the whole family including our active grandmother and both of our kids. Our youngest (11 yo) is a little timid and scared of heights and he did wonderful!! Teresa and Vince made the trip and I highly recommend them as tour guides! They took a lot of time with the family and put our son at ease while making us all smile and have an amazing time! We did the tree top tour which took us about 2 hours. We are planning to come back for the mountain top tour!

We had a delightful day of fun at Navitat today. Spent the morning in the treetops with Jay & Brinkli, who were excellent at keeping focused on safety while hosting an absolutely splendid time. An unlimited supply of Dad jokes were quick to settle the nerves of anyone feeling trepidatious. Jay and Brinkli inspired me to do a rope drop that, until today, I had always chickened out. Thanks ladies! I'm feeling quite proud; it was a much greater fear than I admitted, and I'm thrilled to have moved past it. But wait, there's more! After a lunch (I had packed) and enjoyed in the picnic area, we went on to an afternoon of mountain zips! Holy gamoley, y'all. This is flying. Emerson and Vince were our co-pilots, and they did not let us down. Fun, but not ridiculous, silly but not unsafe. They'll guide you from peak to peak in a harmonized blend of exhilaration and zen quietude, coutured for their audience. Let's not forget a shout out to Matt, who handles the driving up the mountain in a van. If you can make it past his drive up the mountain, the ziplines should be nothing to fear.

What a great place! I had an absolute blast Zippin' through the trees. Was a tad nervous for a first timer, but Neal, Willy and Jae were outstanding and made me feel totally at ease. Neal was a phenomenal guide (as were Willy & Jae). Would do this again in a heartbeat and would recommend the three above anytime as well. Zip On!

We booked this for our anniversary trip (dual ziplines) & had an amazing time! We had awesome guides - Willy & Riah - so shout out to them for making our tour that much more fun! We just went a couple of weeks ago, so it was nice to feel the breeze above the tree line :) highly recommend! I would say, come hydrated and ready to hike some trails in between the zip lines. The views are absolutely amazing.

They were very professional but also really fun and informative. This was my first time zip lining and hate that I waited so long. Here's hoping I will be able to go back and fly again! Thanks ladies!!

We had an excellent time zip lining through the tree tops! Matt and Parker made us feel so much more comfortable, especially with our youngest that wasn't so sure about it. She rode tandem with Parker for 3 of the runs, and gained so much confidence she did the last 3 solo! We would definitely recommend Navitat, they're super friendly and knowledgeable. My kids are already asking to go back and do the mountain top course! And the views are amazing

This place rocks and if you are ever in Asheville, you need to go to Navitat and get on the zip. We were with River and John for the majority of the trip and they were a blast!
