We have dry bags for personal items, dress to get wet and still be able to walk a block or two. Our takeouts are riverside banks, not docks, so ability to get out of your boat and walk up a trail is required. A sample or two can be provided at the breweries, but bring your wallet to purchase beer and food.

Também discutiremos histórias de sabotagem, controvérsia e histórias de sucesso pouco conhecidas de residentes anteriores! Durante a seção final de nosso passeio caminhamos até South Slope, onde meu convidado poderá aprender e provar algumas cervejas locais de uma das melhores cervejarias locais de Asheville, chamada Twin Leaf.

Além disso, descanse bem, porque temos muito terreno a cobrir!

Recipe for a perfect day: Floating down an ancient river, cooling your toes in the water, laughing with good friends... all within reach of award-winning breweries serving up fresh craft beverages and tasty treats. We start by meeting near Asheville's River Arts District, where your canoeing gear and friendly guide await. Canoe on a navigable but adventurous section of the French Broad River, where one of the oldest rivers on the planet passes by some of the best spots in "Beer City USA." We'll paddle up to a variety of Asheville's best breweries, eateries, funky riverside bars, and wading pools. Each trip will vary based on the weather, what is open, and what the folks in your group enjoy most. Most trips include 2 breweries, a couple of eating options, and depending on the day, a bonus brewery or winery. Non-drinkers will have plenty of sight-seeing options nearby as well. Depending on the time of year, we may see otters, beavers, herons, friendly ducks, and colorful fish. Other things to note You will enjoy this the most if you are comfortable with being on a river and are able to swim. Rapids are very mild (Class I at most). New for 2024: We are now dog friendly! Feel free to bring your furry loved one but please ensure that your dog is friendly and it is advised to have a dog life jacket. No children allowed.

The hike will be between 3-5 miles depending on weather & the group. The Blue Ridge Mountains are some of the oldest in the world! We will stop at the top, have a snack/ beverage of your choice, take some really wonderful photos and then back down the mountain. [If you book as a "single" and the group ends up as "ONE/just you" we will do the shorter hike - if you are only one there may be a chance of cancellation] Weather can have a impact based on trail availability and access so please understand at this time of year things [weather] can change quickly. The parkway can be closed in winter so lots of our access to views can be limited. If the date you are looking for is not on the calendar, send me a message. I will help you find a solution. You will need your own vehicle. Other things to note I will do everything to create a hike that fits the needs and skill level of everyone in your party so please just let me know how I can answer your questions and concerns.

Get your llama love fix with 1 to 3 fluffy amigos per group, perfect for snuggles and Insta-worthy selfies! This moderate trek, roughly 1 mile long, promises breathtaking mountaintop vistas but beware: it's a hoof-pounding uphill journey on rocky, slippery terrain. Strap on your adventure shoes, folks! Plan for about an hour and a half of llama-rama fun. We need a minimum of 4 adventurers to join the llama party, so rally your squad and let's make some memories!

Experience the sunrise from up in the mountains! This is Asheville’s only sunrise tour and you will get a front-row seat in our custom Jeep to one of the greatest experiences in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We will drive you up to our favorite sunrise spot (located at 5,000 ft. above sea level!) After a short, 5-10 minute walk, we will arrive at our spot and your guide will brew some fresh local coffee. We will enjoy the coffee as well as the sights, sounds, and smells of waking mountains as we watch the sun come up over the mountains! Your guide will also provide alternative drinks if you aren’t a coffee drinker. We will bring a variety of teas. We will take care of the details like cups, creamers, and sugar. Private Tour: Have a large group? Want a longer hike? Want to customize the trip? Book a private tour, or reach out to discuss your options! IMPORTANT: Mountain weather is extremely unpredictable. Fog and clouds can come through in minutes. As a result, clear viewing of the sunrise is not guaranteed, but we will try our best to get you to see the sunrise. If there is rain in the forecast for your tour, your guide will reach out before the trip to discuss alternative options such as moving to a different date. If the weather becomes dangerous and we must cancel the trip, you will receive a full refund.

The practice of forest bathing encourages you to slow down, relax and reconnect with nature by quieting the mind and awakening the senses. Join a certified forest therapy guide for a relaxing 2.5-hour stroll through the forest in our stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. Through a series of invitations, you’ll have the opportunity to be present in the moment, deepening your connection with nature and community, and enjoying the many gifts nature has to offer. The walk culminates in a tea ceremony with snacks. What is Forest Bathing? Forest Bathing is simply a guided walk in nature. Your guide will share mindfulness practices and invitations designed to connect you more deeply to your inner landscapes, as well as the world around you. Inspired by Shinrin-Yoku, the Japanese art of immersing oneself in a forest environment, forest bathing walks invite guests to spend time in nature in a way that invites healing for ourselves, our fraught ecosystems, and our community. It is true nature therapy! This is essentially a mindful, rejuvenating walk in the forest…no actual “bathing” required. This experience is great for groups and is a unique team-building activity. Private walks are available nearly every day! If you don't see your date and time listed, please reach out! I'd love to see you on the trail.

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, or desiring to relax, be supported, & experience meditative sounds? Arrive at the Sound Nest located in a private residence, in Alexander, in the rolling hills just outside Asheville, leaving the outside world behind beginning with a cup of soothing tea. Slip off your shoes & enter a nurturing room filled with special instruments to soothe your cares & nervous system. Dawn walks participants through what to expect in a tranquil & reassuring way. The bespoke sound healing journey can be tailored to support your life. Grounding gongs, soaring singing bowls, refreshing chimes, a relaxing ocean drum, amongst other instruments help us to re-imagine life & bring fresh air to the intensity that life naturally brings. Why sound healing? These instruments and the way Dawn plays them allows the mind to relax so your body can activate the parasympathetic nervous system & rest, digest, and heal itself. Dawn welcomes groups up to 8 with space to lay down, more are welcome if seated upright. Private group or individual sessions are happily arranged in addition to the times shown here, please contact Dawn. We can also host sessions instructing how to play the instruments if booked specifically for that goal. PS If the private session booking option shows a crazy high price, that's because that time is not available; just contact for times.
