Resilience on the River: Celebrating Our Community and Looking Ahead to 2025

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, the Zen Tubing team has been humbled by the incredible strength and support of our community as we work to rebuild. This year has reminded us of nature’s power—but also of the resilience, determination, and shared love that make our region unique.

As we reflect on the 2024 season, we feel immense gratitude for every moment spent on the beautiful French Broad River with you. We’re especially proud to share that Zen Tubing has been honored with two incredible awards: #1 in Mountain Xpress’ Best of WNC and Gold in Asheville Media Group’s Best of Asheville. These awards are more than just milestones—they reflect the love and trust our community has shown us, and that recognition inspires us daily.

Winning these awards is a profound honor, especially in a year that’s challenged us in so many ways. Knowing we’ve created experiences that inspire joy, connection, and adventure has been our guiding light through this journey. To everyone who voted and continues to support us, thank you.

Mountain Xpress’ Best of WNC

Mountain Xpress’ Best of WNC award is one of Asheville’s most respected accolades, highlighting the finest businesses in Western North Carolina. We’re beyond honored to be voted #1 by readers across the community. Knowing that our local community believes in what we do and trusts us to provide memorable experiences means the world to us.

Asheville Media Group’s Best of Asheville

We’re equally thrilled to have earned Gold in Asheville Media Group’s Best of Asheville! Each year, thousands of locals cast their votes, celebrating the businesses that make Asheville extraordinary. Receiving Gold is a testament to the shared enjoyment and memories created on the river this season.

PEACE LOVE & ZEN
