    From$52/ personincl. taxes and fees

    Duration

    2 Hours

    Includes

    Kayak/pontoon, s'mores, water

    Highlights

    Head to the River Island Outpost at sunset, then choose a pontoon ride or a guided paddle to a secluded island on the Waccamaw River. Build six gourmet s’mores variations by the fire pit and listen for a barred owl call before returning to the Outpost.

    • Choose to ride the pontoon boat or paddle a single or tandem kayak to the island
    • Explore the island glow with tiki torches, bistro lights, and a crackling fire pit
    • Create six s’mores variations from the gourmet s’mores bar
    • Listen for a barred owl call played over a speaker and watch for owls nearby
    • Relax at the Outpost with hammocks, swings, restrooms, and changing rooms

    What's Included

    • Bottled water
    • Kayak or pontoon boat
    • S’mores ingredients for six recipe variations
    • Life jacket

    Things to know

    If the island is inaccessible due to weather, flooding, or lack of water, the s’mores bar will be set up at the Outpost instead. If you kayak, you should be able to paddle to and from the island and paddle against the current on the return. If you have a mobility impairment, consider choosing the pontoon boat instead of kayaking.

    Cancellation Policy

    Full refund if you cancel 14 days before start. Full refund or credit if the operator cancels due to weather or other circumstances. No refunds or credits for cancellations within 24 hours of start.

    FAQs

    Arrive 10–15 minutes before your reservation time to sign waiver forms, use the restroom, and get instructions.

    Wear clothes and shoes that may get wet. Bring a towel, insect repellent, a waterproof camera, and a change of clothes if you prefer. A headlamp is also listed as a recommended item.

    If you choose to kayak, you should be strong enough to paddle to and from the island, including paddling against the current on the way back.

    Review summary

    Excellent
    587 reviews•Google Maps

    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.
