About
Get ready to embark on a river journey with our Pontoon Tour! Your adventure kicks off at our River Island Outpost, where we'll spend a few laid-back minutes covering the essentials – think boat safety and all the good stuff you need to know.
Once you step aboard our custom river boat, we will guide you down the river, weaving around our pristine 48-acre private island nestled in the heart of the Waccamaw River. Brace yourself for an hour of jaw-dropping scenery, as you soak in the untouched natural beauty of the river wilderness. Keep your eyes peeled – you might spot fish, turtles, snakes, birds, or even the elusive alligator.
But it's not just about the sights; it's the whole experience. Pack a lunch and savor a riverside meal at our picnic tables, or kick back in a hammock chair after showing off your skills in some custom yard games at our Outpost. We're all about creating memories that stick, ensuring your family or group has an adventure they'll talk about for ages!
Come aboard, relax, and let the river unveil its hidden gem during this approximately 1-hour Pontoon Tour. We promise it's a ride worth remembering!
