Review of Nantahala Outdoor Center

Everything is a little more expensive than I would...

Everything is a little more expensive than I would like, but they definitely have a well-worn system in place. We did ziplining in the morning and paddling just after lunch. Both were loads of fun! The ziplining felt so adventurous yet still quite safe! Everything was explained to us so well and even though we'd never done it before, it was quite easy to learn! Just gotta listen to the instructions. Our two guides were very nice.
Our whitewater rafting guide knew exactly what he was doing. The safety training they start with is boring but so necessary! I fell out of the raft (easy to do when you're sitting in the front) but the people in my raft responded super quickly and hauled me in before I knew it. It really just added to the fun! Haha. Don't bring any prized possessions on the raft! Be prepared to lose your sunglasses!
And MAKE RESERVATIONS. Way in advance! It gets extremely busy on summer weekends!
