Top Asheville Active & Outdoor Classes

Asheville’s reputation as one of the top cities for brews in the Southeast is well-deserved, but the huge number of breweries to choose from can be intimidating for visitors. Discover which breweries are worth the hype on this Asheville brewery tour, which takes you to craft breweries with behind-the-scene access and ample pours at each. Unlike other Asheville brewery tours, this one is led by a certified cicerone, a recognized expert when it comes to beer.

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This small-group tour from Nashville starts out with a hike through the forest. At the summit, you'll stretch out your (provided) mat, soak up the views, and unwind as you move through a mountaintop yoga class, which is appropriate for all levels.

One of the country’s favorite rafting rivers, experiencing Asheville’s French Broad River is a paddler’s rite of passage. On this guided tour, you’ll raft through four miles of Class II and III rapids, stopping for river dips, taking in the views of the surrounding Pisgah National Forest.

Yoga at HapBE Valley isn’t just a class—it’s an experience of being. Set in the quiet beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this isn’t a studio with mirrors or walls. It’s open air, wide sky, and the gentle presence of horses nearby. As you move through a mellow, accessible flow, you’re not just stretching your body—you’re settling your nervous system. The horses often share the space in their own way. Sometimes they graze quietly beside you. Sometimes they wander closer, curious and aware. Their presence has a way of bringing you out of your head and into the moment—where breath, body, and awareness meet. Each session is intentionally unhurried. There’s no pressure to perform, no need to “get it right.” It’s about tuning in, softening, and allowing yourself to slow down in a way that’s hard to find in everyday life. Come as you are. Leave feeling grounded, clear, and more connected—to yourself, to nature, and to something deeper.
