Also would not give me a life jacket for my dog and were nasty about it. Professionalism at this establishment could be improved upon, although some of the employees are very kind and helpful. Their competitor, Signal Ridge, is much cheaper and runs their business with much more care for the customer. I would check them out instead.

DO NOT RENT FROM THIS DISHONORABLE COMPANY! The owner gave us a walk through of the boat but…read moreintentionally neglected to tell us that the ladder was broken. She did, however, tell us to not beach the boat. We didn't realize the ladder was torn off, broken and had jagged rusty edges until we were at the far end of the lake about to take a swim by a waterfall. So we were unable to get on and off the boat safely. When we returned the boat the owner was nowhere to be found. Just a young man who knew all about the broken ladder that had been broken for weeks. When we called to speak to the owner and discuss the danger of knowingly renting a boat without a working ladder, the owner again wasn't available but a woman named Taylor gave us a scripted "too bad for you" response and claimed the previous renter must have damaged the ladder. We were also never given copies of our paperwork or any notification of the charges. Our only mistake was trusting the owner and not reading these reviews. Buyer beware!

Even though we got there super early, because of the holiday, there was a HUGE line getting into Devils Fork Park with the park rangers checking in with every vehicle - the rangers were turning away everyone without a parking reservation. I called Eclectic Sun and the nice lady on the phone said to show them our kayak reservation confirmation and that she would have a parking spot saved for us. Because we were in line for 1+ hours, we didn't get in until way after our reservation time but everyone was super nice and adjusted the time for us. The guys at the life jacket rental and down by the water helping people get in and out of their kayaks were also all very nice. All kayaks they had seemed to be in great shape, we had no problem using ours. Once you're out in the water, you can just dock it at any beach area you find around the lake (even though it was a busy day at the lake, there are so many beaches, you can easily find an empty one). We will definitely come back and rent one out again!

The class II and III rapids were the perfect size for us. It was slightly challenging in a few places but nothing terribly difficult. It was absolutely exhilarating! Our guide Eric was incredible! He was super knowledgeable and really seemed to know the river very well. We all felt really lucky to have him as a guide. After watching a few other color rafts/companies get stuck continuously, we knew we chose the right people for this adventure. 10/10 will definitely be back again. Things we were glad to have... glasses chords.

We had a 2pm start (1:30pm arrival) and were the only people registered so private ebike tour for us. TJ was our guide and he was training someone so we ended up with 2 guides, which was great. Both of them were very knowledgable about Asheville, nature (i learned what poison ivy looks like) and biking. It took me a few minutes to get my ebike bearings, but then were off. The first part of the ride was on gravel, which was a little tricky, but it was all good when we hit the road. It also started raining and we got pretty wet...i couldn't decide if the rain made the ride miserable or more fun. Maybe both! The biking itself wasn't too hard and honestly we probably could have done it on regular bikes and gotten a workout, but i do find ebiking super fun. We stopped a few times, which helped with our sore butts and learned about the area. A few hours later we said goodbye to our new friends and headed back to Asheville (about an hour away). They also offer many other activities like white water rafting so recommended if you're looking for a little adventure.

What a great decision! My husband commented that we should have started our week this way (instead of our last day). We went to a section to hike that we never would have tried (as it's on the Highlands Cashiers Land Trust) that was a beautiful hike with amazing views. Justin was a delightful guide, providing a rich history of the area. We also enjoyed talking geology with Justin, who was a wealth of information. Even if you've been to Highlands & Cashiers many times, treat yourself to a Highlands Excursion to see the beautiful waterfalls, mountain ranges & more. You won't regret it! Can't wait til the next time!
