Round up your crew and assemble at our 1-acre River Island Outpost, kicking off the excitement 15 minutes before your Kayak Tour. Meet up with your Adventure Guide for a quick rundown on instructions, paperwork, and all the essentials – we want you to be ready for the adventure ahead.
Once your kayaks hit the water, follow your guide down the scenic Waccamaw River and around our exclusive 48-acre private island. Let the untouched natural beauty of the river wilderness unfold before your eyes, as you paddle through this serene paradise. Keep your senses sharp – you might spot fish, turtles, snakes, birds, deer, or catch a glimpse of a barred owl during this immersive tour.
But it's not just about the paddle. Your guide knows the best spots, and they'll make a pit-stop at the island. Everyone gets a chance to stretch their legs, explore the array of activities we offer, and get the inside scoop on the island's upcoming events. It's not just a kayak tour; it's a full-on island experience.
