River kayaking - This was a great trip for all levels of kayakers. David was a great guide. Kept us up to date the day we went, because of weather concerns. If your looking to avoid crowds and just have a beautiful outdoor experience, this is it. Would definitely go back and hike with David. He is really knowledgeable about the area.

Fun way to experience Asheville! - We had a great time kayaking on the French Broad River! David was an excellent guide. He knows a lot about the history and wildlife of the area. It felt like we had the river to ourselves most of the time. Definitely recommend!

Worry free and super enjoyable personal kayak tour. - This was a fun and worry free way to kayak the French Broad River. We really enjoyed the personal kayak trip with Dave. He shared his knowledge of the river and was very personable. Our trip was easy to book on the website and Dave’s communication was excellent.

Lovely float past the Biltmore property. - While we have kayaked before, we wanted to go with someone familiar with the area waterways… the bonus-good conversation, information about local plants and animals, and some local history and color. Easy in, easy out… very pleasant morning! Thank you Dave from HikeBikeKayak Asheville

Great experience! - We have only been kayaking a few times but do enjoy it. This was a well organized trip. Our guide, David, was quick to respond to a question we had, was very prompt, and had lots of experience. The kayaks were the ocean type- safer than the cheaper kinds. David was also very professional with getting us in/ out of the water, gave us lots of info about the river, area, wildlife; even made sure we got a good pic by the Biltmore. We highly recommend this tour!
