Hot Air Balloon Tour
It may not be easy to tear yourself away from your luxury cabins in GA, but if you can manage it, you will definitely want to check out David Bristol’s balloon rides, located in Helen. This excursion is perfect for any occasion from a romantic ride for two to a fun outing with family and friends.

Get a bird’s-eye view of the mountains, the Chattahoochee River, and Chattahoochee National Forest. You may also be lucky enough to spot some of the birds that are native to the area such as falcons, geese, and hawks. Complimentary champagne is also included with this exciting balloon tour.
Zip Line Tour
For another opportunity for bird’s-eye views near the luxury cabins in GA, you will want to give a zip line tour a try. These exciting tours will add an extra spark of adventure and will get your adrenaline going. Georgia’s newest zip line company, ZipN’Time, is located in Nacoochee Village and offers a variety of tours that range in length and thrills. You’ll enjoy a fantastic canopy tour as you zip and fly over the beautiful landscape of northern Georgia. Depending on your time frame and budget, you may also choose tours that incorporate hiking, touring a gold mine, taking a ride across a swamp, and more! And for the truly brave, check out “The Intimidator”. This half-mile-long zip line is the largest double zip line in all of northern Georgia! You’ll get one-of-a-kind views and even the chance to rappel fifty feet down “Rebecca’s Tower”.
Brasstown Bald
How high can you go? If you decide to take the journey to Brasstown Bald, you will find yourself at the highest natural point in all of Georgia. You can get to this point by driving up the Richard B. Russell Scenic Highway which will allow you to take in more of the incredible Georgia scenery and even a few waterfalls. At the top, you will be standing at four thousand seven hundred eighty-four feet above sea level! From here, you will be able to look down on the world below you and see four states at the same time. See if you can find each state from on top of the world: Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Of course for those seeking more adventure, you can also choose to hike up to Brasstown Bald. Because the elevation will change by five hundred feet from the start to the finish of the trail, be sure to bring water, take frequent breaks, and take a jacket.
Tallulah Gorge
Another up-high adventure near the luxury cabins in GA can be found at Tallulah Gorge. This magnificent canyon spans two miles and is one thousand feet deep. The park is filled with many hiking trails and scenic overlooks to take in the breathtaking sights of the gorge and waterfalls. For the daredevils in the bunch, a suspension bridge swaying eighty feet over the bottoms is available to cross. You may also be interested in sliding down Bridal Veil Falls at the end of the gorge’s base.
