What Our Adventurers Say
Posted on Google Jennifer LindbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband, daughter, and I had a fantastic time with Mark! He taught us a lot about the area's history and details about the various species of wildflowers and trees. He also told us how to react if we ever encountered a black bear. The waterfalls were beautiful! It was great fun, and we had a great time! It was a little chilly the morning we hiked (as you can see in the picture), but so worth it! Thank you, Mark!Posted on Google Trefyn CarterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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.Posted on Google Marie ThereseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was Lit Fam. Booked a waterfall & brewery tour with CBA for my husband's birthday. We took some friends so we had the whole tour to ourselves which was extremely cool. The waterfalls were first which was cool because the crowds were at a minimum. Lunch and the breweries followed. The weather was beautiful enough to just sit outside and enjoy a cold one...a few times. No one was disappointed in their beer choices which was great because my husband is picky about his beer. :) Mark is super personable and in-the-know and seems to have a great rapport with all of the breweries so we were well taken care of. Well worth the money. It was actually the best day of our vacation.Posted on Google Michelle BrachowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family had an unforgettable day with Carolina Bound Adventures! Mark, the owner, went above and beyond to make our experience exceptional. His knowledge of the area, from hidden waterfalls to the best breweries, was outstanding. Not only did we get to see breathtaking scenery, but we also learned so much about the region's history and natural beauty thanks to Mark's expertise. The entire day was well-organized, seamless, and fun for everyone. We felt like VIPs throughout the who adventure. Highly recommend Carolina Bound Adventures for anyone looking for a perfect blend of nature and local culture!Posted on Google Erin TaylorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. we loved our guided kayaking experience!!Posted on Google shawn crispTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great time on our waterfall and brewery tour. Mark was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history and landscape of the area. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous and the beer at the breweries were delicious. Highly recommend booking an outing!Posted on Google Byron SherwinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark was wonderful to work with. We rented a canoe at a great price and drop off and pick up was easy and enjoyable. He also touch base with us, prior to the day of, to make sure we were all set. All while dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. If you want to have a great time call Mark at Carolina Bound Adventures!!Posted on Google Kevin RobinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently visited Bryson City, North Carolina with my family. My son and I wanted to mountain bike in the great Smoky Mountains National Park, but we did not bring our bikes or gear with us. We ended up finding Carolina Bound Adventures and got in touch with Mark. Mark told us about all the different options they had and we ended up booking for the next day. Mark worked with our schedule and delivered high quality bikes and gear, and a detailed map about where we could go riding. Afterwards, he even shuttled us back into town which was extremely helpful. I would recommend Mark very highly as he is extremely knowledgeable about the area and has a wide variety of adventures to offer. Will definitely be using Carolina Bound Adventure again!Posted on Google Lisa RiceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our hiking/waterfall tour with Mark! It was a beautiful fall morning & the scenery was spectacular! Mark adds so much to the adventure with his historical knowledge of the area, as well as the ecological diversity of the Great Smoky Mountains. So it wasn’t just a great hike & seeing gorgeous waterfalls, it was also an educational experience. We also did the mountain biking/waterfall tour which was an adventure in itself considering we hadn’t biked in 6 years & never mountain biked. But Mark educated us on the proper way to navigate our bicycles for the trek up & downhill. He was kind enough to carry our extra waters & snacks in his back pack too. He also was prepared for the minor superficial cuts my husband got courtesy of his bike riding. Again the waterfalls we saw were so beautiful & bike ride especially down the mountain was quite thrilling & exhilarating. Highly recommend both excursions! On top of it, our transportation plans fell thru & Mark & Sarah picked us up for our excursions, took us back to our lodge & then to the airport on the day of our departure. They provide a quality adventure service as well as outstanding customer service. I highly recommend Carolina Bound Adventures for all your vacation excursions & travel needs!

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. Elise DealLoad more
