    This was my very first time kayaking. And I went with my family. We are a handful. But the team at the AOC was very kind, patient, friendly, and made us feel very welcome and special.  more »

    Enjoyed a long leisurely kayak ride down the river. The employees were professional, kind, and accommodating. The website prepares you well for making a reservation and arriving on time to receive safety training and orientation. Great way to experience Asheville. Bring sunscreen and plenty to drink and munch on!

    Wow what a day!!! Super fun! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The river was gorgeous and we even saw some wildlife! I got to channel my inner Pocahontas! Recommend for everyone for canoeing and kayak!
