Awesome waterfall adventure!

5.00What a great time. We booked this for my Wife's birthday because she loves waterfalls and she was definitely happy. Our guide, Rich and his partner Meatball were the best. We felt like long time friends within the first few minutes. It's was 25 degrees outside and we were nice and warm in the back of the jeep. We visited several waterfalls. Got out to explore at some on foot. We even got to walk behind one. His knowledge of the area was great. To get an idea of the trip check out his YouTube channel "The overland report". If you are in the area and looking for some great fun exploring nature book him!

5.00This is the best excursion and tour I've had so far. Richie our tour guide and his dog Meatball were nothing but phenomenal. Richie was very patient with us and took us to a couple of waterfalls and gave us enough time to take pictures. He went above and beyond. Even though it was really foggy on the way to the top of the mountains, he drove very carefully and he knew the terrain really well which was a bonus. He told us a lot of history about the forest and the waterfalls. Overall the whole experience was nothing but spectacular. I highly do reccomended this company especially Richie!!! Book him and you won't regret it!!
Amazing Falls

4.00If you’re looking to hike and experience a waterfall along the way, this is not for you. There isn’t really any hiking. However, if you’re wanting to see some amazing waterfalls, and learn a bit about nature in the Pisgah Forest, then this is the place to be!
Waterfall viewing

5.00Went on waterfall tour with Rich and Meatball ( the dog) Rich took the four of us on jeep tour to see several spectacular waterfalls, some on public property and some on private property. We did some back roads and public roads for a total of about 31/2 hours. Rich was very knowledgeable about the Brevard area and park system and extremely happy to be able to take us about. We went on a jeep, which was very comfortable, had heated seats and seat belts. There were six of us total but probably could have held at least three more couples and still been very comfortable seating. We had all the flaps open in back but could easily have been closed up if raining. The waterfalls we visited were an easy hike from the road. It was a very enjoyable ride through the forested lands and waterfall viewing. Highly recommend Rich as a guide with Meatball riding shotgun. Great trip!
