What a great time we had this past week zipping through the canopy with the dynamic duo, Heather and Ashley–aka the “British Crumpet” and “Sit Still and Look Pretty“. Highly recommend this adventure, was a great experience with our daughters, one we will remember for a long time. I am sure all of the guides are great, but we really did enjoy “hanging out” with Heather and Ashley; they provided great comic relief as well as history of the area and fun facts about the trees; all while ensuring a safe experience.
Marley and Michael made our Zip Line adventure one to remember. Their personable conversation and focus on safety were appreciated by the grandchildren and especially by the grandparents. It was a fun time and I would highly recommend it for grandparents/grandchildren to share an outdoor experience together.
This was a great daddy-daughter outing. Our guides Josie and Marley were bright, intelligent, funny, and really took a great experience and made it more amazing. These girls are top notch in their safety protocol execution, and made us feel so welcome and at home at Chattooga. We would definitely go back again and spend more time with the wonderful staff in the beautiful place that God created for our enjoyment.

I went and talked to Amy Boulton, the Canopy Manager at Chattooga Ridge Canopy Tours, and asked her what made a superb Canopy Ranger. She sat and thought for a moment. Of course, all employees must be Reliable and Responsible making sure all trip duties are completed and to make Safety #1 for our Guests. To make a great Canopy Ranger though is being able to relate Knowledge about the area in a Fun and Entertaining way. They also have to be Adaptable to different situations and people. The occasional joke here and there doesn’t hurt

either. Sometimes there are those that come Ziplining and are hesitant and afraid. Never having done it before, being reassuring and adding in some comic relief can help people relax and overcome their fears.
