Awesome and informative nature walk. Our family of 5 (kids aged 9-15) loved our time with Dan - we learned so much about the local flora and fauna, and we all had a delightful time swimming in crystal clear mountain waters. Dan was engaging and fun and did a great job involving our kiddos in the experience. Highly recommend.

Fantastic way to spend a bit of your afternoon. Personable, personal, patient, thoughtful and genuine. No one felt like we were on an excursion of any kind, but rather that we were meeting up with a friend of a friend who wanted to show us around. It really couldn’t have been better. Some people have an energy about them that makes you feel at ease. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough

Our family of 5 (tween and teenage children, and parents) all enjoyed our private tour with Dan. He judged our fitness level and knowledge perfectly. Dan has a gift for speaking to kids (and adults) in a clear, kind and interesting way. He is clearly passionate about his subject and we learnt much about the flora and fauna of the area. We walked about 5 miles and nobody complained about the distance or stopped to check their phones! We would recommend Dan to anyone who wants to get more out of a walk in the woods on North Carolina’s beautiful trails.

We had a great time with Dan! The actual hike was at a comfortable pace to really be able to take in and enjoy the nature around us. The waterfall was stunning with plenty of time to wade, climb, and explore. The best part for me was watching my 12 year old son (who would never choose an outdoor experience like this) get involved and enjoy spotting things in the woods and being at the falls. Thank you for a great time!

Dan was great! Very informative and extremely patient with the little kids many questions. Dan also had a ton of other Asheville things to do. Highly recommended. We would definitely do this again.
