River Island Adventures

The staff here genuinely seems to make the experience. Noah gets multiple shout-outs as a knowledgeable and personable guide who adds historical context and humor to kayaking trips, while Jeff, the owner, earns praise for being welcoming and sharing interesting stories. Reviews consistently highlight how helpful and friendly everyone is, from launch to pickup, making even first-timers feel comfortable on the water. Kayaking is clearly the main draw, though tubing is also popular and guests appreciate having games and relaxation areas at the main site. The glamping option gets enthusiastic recommendations for anyone wanting something beyond traditional camping. Wildlife sightings include alligators, turtles, and waterfowl, though weather can affect what you'll see. Families, church groups, couples, and solo visitors all report having great experiences, with many saying they're planning return visits. It's described as a peaceful escape near Myrtle Beach with reasonable prices and beautiful scenery. One unique offering is a Survivor-themed challenge game that fans of the show particularly enjoy.
