Navitat Canopy Adventures – Asheville

Enjoyed 2015 zipping adventures so much that I’ll be heading back in 2016 to check out the views in a different season. I tend to be nervous, but I felt safe with the guides, lines & checks. Nature is stunning & mountain views spectacular. This is worth trying!

Did the moody cove route with guides Parker and Joseph. They were amazing! Patient, encourage and knowledgeable (even funny). They were especially good with my 11 year old niece. I highly recommend this adventure to all. 10 invigorating zip lines with breathtaking views and two fun repels. The entire staff was friendly and helpful.

Great place, great people. Lots of fun. We did the Blue Ridge Experience with Dan and Jake was our guides. They were so thorough in their instructions, funny, and knowledgeable of the woods. This was a great experience.

We spent a beautiful fall morning doing the Blue Ridge portion of zipping. While quite expensive, the experience was so special. Three separate zips, two of which were absolutely spectacular views. The staff were fantastic. Funny, informative, safe, and extremely friendly.
The guides take photos as you go, which while kind of annoying in the moment, is fun to get back to the gift shop and see yourself on screen. Prices for the photos are exorbitant.
Planning tips that may help you (we talked about them):
Do I bring my own camera /​phone? The views from the platform are nice, but not incredible photos. It would be fun to have photos of you & your friends. This would work best if you have a group of four, as the two of you (if you’re a pair) are strapped in at the same time. Tough to take photos of one another. If you have a very secure strap, go for bringing your own camera. You will not be able to get good pictures while zipping — and besides, just enjoy it. If you want to bring your phone, wear something with a pocket that zips closed. Ultimately, you’ll have more fun if you focus on the experience, and not worrying about losing something.

Had an amazing time at navitat. GRANT AND JONATHAN were absolutely amazing. They are so knowledgeable and so funny. They had a huge impact on the memories my sister and I made. I appreciate their patience. I was so nervous at first, they were very reassuring and helpful. I had a blast. And would do it again in a heart beat! I can’t thank them enough. And the views from the tree stands are phenomenal. Quite breathtaking.

If you’re in the Asheville area, this is a must do. We didn’t have enough time but it’s worth doing their ultimate package. I would recommend it to anyone and can’t wait to do it again.

The best zip lining I have ever experienced. Check in was seamless. Kyle our guide was fun, informed, professional and enthusiastic. The size of our group was just perfect. We left promptly at 10:10 and returned by 12:30. We used bug spray but being in the woods was not bad as far as biting insects. The hiking was fun. The 3 zip lines in the blue ridge experience were phenomenal. Overall excellent experience and I would highly recommend. The only downside is the only way to get pictures that were taken by staff during the rides were only available for purchase if you bought the entire Zip drive for $ 35. I really did not want all the pictures of strangers for $ 35. You guys should come up with a way to purchase certain pics and not the whole drive.

Navitat’s Blue Ridge Experience was the ultimate thrill ride. Three long high zips. Well attentive staff with focus on safety. Will go again soon.

My son and I did Moody Cove and the Blue Ridge this week. They were both amazing experiences. The facility, gear, and staff are all top notch! Great time and awesome adventure! «Hakuna matata»!

Great family time! On our visit to the Asheville area we scheduled a zip line tour with Navitat. It was the first time zip lining for each of us and this was the best place to do it!
Our guides Scott and Harmony were great… friendly, and knowledgeable about zip lining and the Smoky Mountain area we were in. They also made us each feel at ease. Also, the views that we saw during the tour were amazing!
I would recommend a Navitat tour to anyone who is in the area!

Navitat exceeded all of our expectations. We went on the Blue Ridge Experience and it was awesome. All of zip lines were great but the second one was unreal.
Our guide, Jeremiah, was wonderful. Actually the entire staff was great. My husband got a big kick out of the van used to bring us up the mountain.
When we finished we were ready to turn around and do it again. If we lived here we would be regulars. My son can’t wait until he weighs enough to do the Moody Cove… truthfully neither can I. We will be back… totally worth the 7 hour drive. Highly, highly recommended!

I would give more stars if possible. If your are looking for a zip lining adventure for your family, friends or significant other… look no further. We chose the Blue Ridge Experience.
I have so much to say about our time at Navitat but I’ll leave my review as short as possible.
This place came as a suggestion from a friend since we were using Ashville, NC as a resting spot for our long road trip. It was meant to be a one day stop but it ended up being the highlight or our entire vacation.
I originally planned on proposing to my Fiancé when we got to the beach but after careful thought and help from Navitat, I decided to use our zip tour as the place to propose.
Best decision I have ever made. Our tour leaders (Lauren and Parker) were fun, professional and downright awesome! They made us feel really safe. The views and zips were breath taking. All I can say is Wow! The staff was so friendly and nice it made us feel so special to be there. Thank you Navitat for making this the most memorable day of our lives.
I would love to go back when I’m in the area again. Thanks Again! Jim and Jaclyn

Had a great day ziplining with our 2 guides, Crissy and Kim. Both were very knowledgeable about the forest flora and made the experience very enjoyable!
I wish there were longer courses and more of them, especially when the tour lasts 2.5 hours.
All in all, a great experience!

Great scenery, great setup, great guides– Awesome experience! Would definitely do again. Still have one zip tour left to do.

LOVE this place. This was our second time visiting the Blue Ridge Experience course in the past year! This time we brought my father and step mother and they loved it too– A great way to spend a few hours of your day enjoying the beauty of WNC and basically flying through the trees! What a rush.
I suggest you add a season pass option for those who would return a few times each season, especially for locals and those who spend summers in the area. More courses! Longer and faster zips!

This was an awesome experience, very professional and entertaining staff. Great for thrill seeking adventurers. My wife and I celebrated our ten wedding anniversary here. I didn’t think she would do it but she did and loved every minute of it. Highly recommended.

This was excellent, even in November!
I loved our guides, I wish I could remember their names. They were funny but also very knowledgeable and caring concerning the forest we were surrounded in. Despite feeling hungover at first, and my boyfriend dreading doing this, he ended up having the time of his life. He was nearly jumping up and down in delight by the end (nothing elicits much emotion from him by the way, he’s one of those seen it all, done it all kinda dudes) He was so thankful I made him go after it was all said and done, and that he can’t wait to go again sometime come springtime.

The entire Navitat team was awesome! From start to finish these folks took care of our group of nine. Walking everyone through the simple steps of preparing and being calm and thorough. We took the Blue Ridge Mountain trip. If you don’t like to hike this may not be the zip for you. It’s a short hike, but worth it. Amazing views during November.

We just got done with the Blue Ridge Experience zip line tour. AMAZING! The staff was professional and beyond friendly. I felt safe at all times and could tell they took the safety of all participants very seriously. The views of the mountains in November were spectacular. We will definitely be zipping again on our next Asheville trip!

My husband and I went 9÷6÷14. We did the Ultimate package, both Moody Cove and Blue Ridge experiences. It was a long day (10 to 4) but worth every minute!
Annie, at check in, is professional and pleasant. We had 4 guides that day, Tyler and Scott for the Moody Cove and Jeremiah and Parker for the Blue Ridge, all 4 were great altho I liked Jeremiah and Parker’s energy more.
Both tours are very different, Moody Cove is more ‘tree-​based’ and Blue Ridge is just high flying, fast and fun!
The guides were knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, you might learn something while having fun!
We will be back with more people next time, maybe enough to make our own group!
