I got a shuttle to a trailhead to start a several-day hike. Perfect service & Mark also stopped so I could view wildlife & offered valuable info on the area. Would recommend!

We used Mark to provide a shuttle service from Fontana Dam to Clingman”s Dome. Due to sore feet and lack of water south of Spence Field we contacted Mark to bail us out. Although Cades Cove was outside his normal operating area he travelled 80 mile to pick us up. Although he could have charged us more, he just charged his normal rate. Very knowledgeable about the entire area, entertaining, and very responsive. OUTSTANDING SERVICE!

Mark picked my wife and I up from our AT hike and he was very professional and accommodating! We enjoyed hearing the history of the smokies and all of his knowledge of the sites along the way. Made the ride much more enjoyable! Will definitely be coming back to enjoy more of the experiences he has available! Would highly recommend this destination as well this company to explore the area!

I arranged for an 8-person hiker shuttle from Deep Creek to Noland Divide TH. Vehicles were clean and comfortable. Being a former travel agent, I appreciated Mark’s professionalism, promptness, and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Carolina Bound Adventures! My sister and I put together a group of friends for a bucket list trip to hike Mt LeConte and stay overnight in the cabins. Mark and Joni shuttled us to the trailhead from Waynseville on Friday morning and picked us up from another trailhead on Saturday morning. We had two hikers injured on the way down and Joni waited an additional two hours until they were safely down. We enjoyed getting to know what a wonderful person she is during that time. They shared lots of interesting stories and history about the Smokies, the history of Fontana Dam, and the Cherokee during our time together. I look forward to joining some of their adventures in the future.

When our transportation for our trip fell thru, Mark & Sarah saved the day & provided shuttle service (about 1 1/2 hours one way) for us to & from our vacation in Bryson City & then to the airport for our return trip home. I highly recommend them & will definitely book with them again if I’m in the area. Outstanding event & service!

Great guy. Shuttled me for a solo hike on the AT. Headed back with the family this summer to check out some of the other adventures he offers.

What an amazing company! They offer so much. We enlisted them to shuttle us to our AT hiking trail head little did we know we would learn so much about the area and receive such excellent advice from Mark, our shuttle driver. After a couple days of hiking it became necessary to end our hike and visit a hospital. Mark’s wife was on the phone immediately finding the best solutions for our needs. Mark picked us up in twenty five minutes from the trailhead. We will return to do his Waterfall and Winery guided hike in the near future. We highly recommend Carolina Bound Adventures!

My group hired this company as a shuttle service for a backpacking trip. No complaints. they were timely, professional, and knowledgeable. Worth paying a reliable company like this for that type of thing.
