Diann Sheldon

This is definitely the best way to explore this amazing National Park! We also believe canoes are the best way to ease your way through the waters. The canoes give you a little more height and our guides are very helpful with techniques if needed. We had a beautiful day in March with no mosquitoes!! Our guides Bill and Evan were very knowledgeable and personable. It was fun to paddle in one of the off channels available with higher flows. Having a guide made this safe as it is easy to get lost in the sea of water and trees. We took a nice break before getting back into our canoes to head back to the put in. Thank you for such an amazing trip!!!

Gigi Le Cram

We had a great time floating down the river. I made my reservation online for the double tube which I highly recommend because it is very comfortable and convenient to carry a cooler and any other personal items. When I did my reservation I made a mistake with the date and I called to request a date change. They helped me right away with my request. On the activity date we got there and the process was very smooth and organized. The river is beautiful! We floated for 5 hours since there wasn't strong current. I highly recommend you bring your own paddles to make your trip more enjoyable.

Our guided tour with Andy and Preston was fantastic! Andy made us feel like we were hanging out with friends instead of a tour guide (which we loved). He was knowledgeable about the swamp, the water, and the history of the area. We really enjoyed our time and would 100% recommend this to others as a unique way to experience this National Park.

Karen Sharpe

We had a great 3 hr tour with our guide, Andy. We saw snakes and birds and the river and trees were beautiful. The scheduling process was smooth and they accommodated us last minute. An excellent way to see the park.

Rachel Knauff

Our guided canoe tour at Congaree N.P. was amazing! Andy was a very friendly and informative guide - he knew all the ins and outs of the swamp, where wildlife was most likely to be spotted, etc. Being out on the water is so peaceful and easily the best way to see the park. Highly recommend a tour with Palmetto, especially in the spring when the forest is starting to come alive!

Jolene Starr

I thoroughly enjoyed my canoe tour. The park was quite flooded and there was only two other people that had signed up so I was quite appreciative that the trip was not cancelled. It is quite an experience to paddle in the quietness of the Congaree swamp. Our guide, Andy was knowledgable about the flora and fauna of the area.

Kelli Powell

Bill and Ed were amazing guides! A wealth of knowledge, super helpful, and made the overall experience memorable. Well worth the money and will look at future excursions with Palmetto Outdoor in the future!

Lynn Tran

I did a guided canoe tour with Andy in Congaree NP and it was a great experience. He is very knowledgeable and accommodating for beginners. You can’t go to Congaree without going on the water and booking the tour with Palmetto Outdoors is the easiest and most hassle free way to do that, especially as a tourist. Don’t hesitate, book the tour.

Russell Holmes

Overall great experience. This place is very organized. We rented the superstar tubes and they work great with plenty of room. They supply short rope to tie the tubes together if you want. We tied 8 tubes together and had a blast. Be aware of a few things. Parking is limited we paid $10 to park next door due to no parking across the street or in their parking lot. There is a hot 15 minute bus ride to the drop off point. We had a little wait at the drop off for everyone to get their life jacket adjusted and pass out the tubes. After that there is a 500 yard walk to the river. You are responsible for carrying the life jacket and tube to this point. They were nice enough to drop off our cooler close to the put in spot. We will be back

Robert Borneman

This is THE way to experience Congaree National Park! Andy, our guide, was eager, helpful and attentive all the way. One group spilled out of their canoe but he made sure to head right to them and get them up and running... er... floating again. The trip itself is a nicely timed 3 hour jaunt down a gently flowing stream with a half-hour return which requires a bit of effort but is really quite easy. (There are no rapids. There is no whitewater.) I went as a solo traveller (most others were in couples' canoes). One part I thoroughly enjoyed was "The Basin" where we were free to drift about silently and individually through the generally still water, listening to the birdsounds! WARNING: Snake-o-phobes and Spider-o-phobes should avoid Congaree. For me it was great! We saw at least three different kinds of snakes, tons of skinks, and saw plenty of birdlife! I went in April - the weather was absolutely perfect and I saw a total of ONE mosquito the entire trip! (Which is great!!!) Highly recommended!

Rachel Willis

Andy was fantastic! Knowledgable and fun. He knew all of the places to look for wildlife and was able to explain all of the history of the park. Such a great way to see Congaree.

Susan Gardell

Guides were extremely helpful, patient and full of interesting facts about the river, plants, wildlife and local history. The scenery is beautiful, and going in January meant we had no mosquitos!

Nicole Morgan

We had a fantastic day canoeing in Congaree National Park with our guide Rob. Highly recommend! Rob was a great guide - gave good info, but also easygoing and gave us time to really enjoy the paddle.

Brandt Hulteen

Amazing staff, beautiful river system & quality gear! Don't snooze on the Star Tube. It's roomy and surprisingly comfy.

Nicole Rotureau

We're so lucky to have the Three Rivers area and to have Palmetto Outdoors to help facilitate accessing the river safely! It's definitely worth the money to rent a tube because you get a ride over to the put in, as well as the use of a life jacket! I like that Safety First is their main motto and then that we should leave the river the way we found it (as in leave no trash behind). We used the double tube, so we were able to bring a cooler along and have a floating picnic! The kids kept asking "When's the next set of rapids???" It was a great time to spend with our friends and their kids!

Amy Rutledge

The company was great-friendly, accommodating, and provided great tubes, shuttle service, and life jackets. The river, however, was treacherous and not for novices. This is an intermediate float. It took 4 hours, so bring drinks and wear sunscreen. The guide told us it would take 3-4 hours, and it really did. I can see why this float is NOT for children under 10. Nice scenery, but an arduous journey to say the least!

Dylan Lovering

We had a great time canoeing on Cedar Creek! Would definitely recommend this to all who are looking to explore the Congaree outside of just the paths near the visitor's center. Our guide Andy was fun and knowledgeable, and a great host. Will do this again if we come back!

Beki M

Awesome experience!!! Our tour guide shared not just useful facts but interesting tidbits along the way! We saw owls, wild pigs and a ton of different birds. One of the coolest experiences we’ve done while traveling! Highly recommend!

Aiyana Reissman

What a lovely experience! My husband and I did a canoe tour in Congaree National Park and we were blown away by how quiet and relaxing the whole experience was. Our tour guide, Donato, was super helpful and informative. By far the best way to see the park!

Just flo

We got there after we found a parking spot we lucked out and parked just across the street. There is parking but not if you have a truck. We signed up and gave our keys over to the sweetest girl. Everyone loaded on to the bus it did have a.c. Then once you get there ( 5-10 min) you do literally walk up the road maybe (3-5 min) your given a smelly vest and the lady gave some kind of direction as to when and where to get off.The walk down is uneven, rocky, etc but that’s a river’s edge. I really did like how relaxing it was. It was beautiful. The River can’t be controlled so we readily had a rope and used our arms to get around. Nothing else was offered. After 3-4 hrs of floating not rafting ,Well you end up at the end doing everything you can to get to the right to get out!!!!! There is no one on the water in case of an emergency. The whole 3 hrs there were maybe 4 times we went over rushing water. But the water was very deep and the rocks were extremely slippery.I did see people walking on a path to the left, a few houses but that’s it . I don’t know if we will return it was nice and all but not safe for kids or if you’ve never been tubing before. Not good for first timers. Side note bathroom is like the lake or campground

Jessica Daszkiewicz

We just enjoyed an absolutely wonderful canoe trip with Palmetto Outdoors at Congaree National Park! Our guides were knowledgeable and very helpful. The scenery was breathtaking, and we felt immersed in our environment. It was so fun navigating through the trees (a bit of challenge at moments but it added to the adventure!) The equipment was in great condition. This really topped off our trip! Highly recommend.

Jocelyn Cascio

Our group of 4 novices had an amazing time!! Andy was an excellent guide and we learned so much! Definitely recommend this adventure!!

Tom Ringenberg

Andy was a great guide on our afternoon tour of the Cedar Creek in Congaree National Park! Highly recommend this outfit.

Hutson Chilton

Andy was an excellent paddle guide for our cedar creek paddle trip. Lots of information and lots of fun! He put forth extra effort in pointing out wildlife and explaining the different variety of trees available to see. He also tailored our trip route to see the things that interested us most.

Ryan Harris

We had an amazing time canoeing Cedar Creek! There was a 68 year age gap between our youngest and our oldest canoer, and somehow it was the perfect pace for everyone, and everyone had a great time! Our guide Julie was super knowledgable and accommodating. Would love to come back and do this again!

ronnie dover

Had a great time. Prices are affordable for the time spent floating down the river. The idea of them holding your keys is novel, so as to make sure they get their equipment back and knowing that your keys and vehicle are safe.

Bryan Windmiller

Guides, Andy and Preston, were wonderful! They guided my wife and I on a beautiful 2+ hour canoe trip along beautiful Cedar Creek. We wound through the old growth bottomland forest of Congaree National Park, passing massive bald cypress, loblolly pines, water tupelos, and water oaks. We took a wonderful squishy walk on a riparian Island, and saw some of the wildlife of this poorly known national park. Highly recommended!

BL O'hal

The guided canoe tour was excellent. Andy’s enthusiasm and love for the park were infectious. I would recommend this tour and hope to make another trip to see the park in a different season.

Stephanie Murphy

As complete novices to canoeing, we were fortunate to have Andy as our guide. His canoeing skills, his thoughtful support, and his knowledgeable appreciation of the natural landscape made this an enriching experience.

David Gour

Staff was great!! We rented tubes. It does take about 3 hours , so make sure to allow for the float time. We rented 5 deluxe tubes for 4 people. one tube was for cooler. We brought our own rope to tie them all together. Don't forget the snacks! We would like to try the kayaks next time.

Jessica Lauren

I wish there was a summer long membership, because we would certainly be tubing every day! The entire day, from start to finish was just the best! Super cool and personable staff, clear explanation of rules, all questions answered! Easy in, easy out. Even got in early enough to beach the tubes on some rocks and walk around on them! Definitely a repeat adventure, thanks to Palmetto Outdoors!

Really nice trail to run if you take a right at the amphitheater it is less than 2 miles to the end, I'm told the entire length is 3 miles total. This a bad picture of the parking lot and a quick picture on my way out of the amphitheater, also bad picture. But to reiterate nice running trail at the end the switch backs came out of nowhere and winded me pretty good.

Ankur Desai

Beautiful paddle through the tupelo basin and cypress. Easy to find put in, helpful guide, great way to see the national park!

Michael Day

I’ve used their shuttle service for 10 years. Always been pleasant and energizing to the crowd. I did find this year that kayaks are not their man focus but they were still super accommodating and appreciated my business. I do hope they do get back into offering more kayak rentals, they will however shuttle any personal kayak. I highly recommend them as your guide to the Columbia rivers! Enjoy. And be safe!

Tina Marie Devlin

Overall the experience was great but I wish paddles were included as an option for tubing. The SuperStar tube was perfect (lightweight, mesh bottom) but paddles would have made the experience better. I think the wind and currents made it hard for the tube to float so we used our arms A LOT to paddle. It was an exhausting tubing experience. The staff were informative and were clear on the rules. The cost is good too ($30 per person for Superstar tube, life jackets, and shuttle ride).

Courtneylove Gowans

We had a great time with POA on S. Cedar Creek canoe trip at Congaree NP. Our guide Evan was friendly, professional and positive with a group that had very different abilities. Highly recommend.

Adam Bell

We had a good time canoeing. Everything was on time and professionally handled. Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the trip. We went upstream into flood waters and were able to explore areas that are typically "off of the trail". We had two adults and two adult children.

Margaret Sheridan

We had a lovely time with 2 kids & 2 adults- it’s a real adventure - I wouldn’t go with little kids if you don’t have at least one experienced canoed & kids who can handle it. But if you do, it’s 💯. If you are an adult- also lovely- by far the best way to see Congaree. …

Tammy Vittum

This was the best way to explore Congaree National Park. The guides were great and the scenery was beautiful. Highly recommend this experience!

Dom Geo

Absolutely amazing service! Planned a last minute trip to surprise my honey with a chance to see the rare spider Lilly's ! Thank you again for all your help! The service far exceeded my expectations!

Tairy Spraynard

I launched my tube and surrendered it's control to the flow of the cosmos. It didn't take long to find what is apparently the only tube-knarley hydrologic feature on the route. The kayak lifeguard that made sure I was safe, and tended to my injured ego, was a seasoned professional. He even saved my hat. Good On You Bro! I found paddling the large hexagonal with my hands to be a little awkward, and I have long arms. I will take a paddle next time.

Alexandra Wagner

Enjoyed our 3hr canoe trip through congaree park very much. Andy is a wonderful guide! We’ll be back.

adam Araujo

Really enjoyed everything. Pricing wasn't bad either. It was $70 cash for a tandem kyack for 3 hours on Saturday. We parked and they held our keys for us also. We didnt rush going down river but it took maybe 1hr and 30 min to do. You have plenty of time to explore the little pockets but be careful of rocks as they get annoying at the end lol

Emma Fox

Came to visit my parents. I’m from Iowa. Best experience ever. So fun and relaxing and a great way to spend time with loved ones.

Elizabeth Bell

Our family did a canoe trip through Congaree NP and had a great time. Our guide, Evan, was great. He gave us lots of info, answered questions, was very relaxed and made for a great group experience. The tour was very easy to book and the location easy to find.

Connie Smith

We had an outstanding experience paddling through the Park with Evan as our guide! To fully experience Congaree, you must get in a boat. Palmetto Outdoor's canoe's track well making for an easy paddle in a magical place.

Kasey Andrade

We had an amazing time on our guided Congaree canoe tour with Palmetto. Our guide and his assistant were awesome! Friendly, informative, helpful, and FUN! This canoe tour was the highlight of our trip to Congaree and I would definitely recommend booking with Palmetto!

MountainTop Marine

Just got off the river with my 3 kids and my daughter in law. Staff was extremely pleasant to deal with. First little bit is a bit slow when the water is down but the second half of the trip you are moving pretty good. All in all my family had a great day. If you are concerned about the weather look at the radar and be aware. Being an unprepared person is certainly not a reason to leave a bad review for these folks. Would highly recommend doing the trip.

Phil Shanholtzer

Great trip, beautiful and interesting place, harder paddling than I expected due to fairly strong current. Guide Evan was friendly and helpful, sometimes hard to hear him if we were toward the back of the canoe fleet. I would do this tour again.

Mary Meier

We really enjoyed our canoe tour. Chuck was a great guide!

Andrew Newby

We had a great canoe tour through Cedar Creek at Congaree National Park. Rob was a clear communicator, set expectations, and kept everyone safe. It was a great experience I can’t recommend enough.

Ashley Moore

I bring all my friends down the river with Palmetto Outdoor! The shuttle service is so convenient and the tubes are reliable. DON’T BOTHER BRINGING YOUR OWN TUBE. I have a friend that insisted on being her store-bought tube because it had a back rest. That thing went flat about 45 minutes into the trip and she had many regrets. Luckily, we had rented an extra tube for coolers, so we had something safe for her to finish the trip in.

HoneyTree Collectibles

What a great experience! The staff was very friendly, and helpful. Parking was a bit tricky, but manageable. We took an unguided kayak trip, (our first time on rapids). The rapids were perfect for our group. They were exciting and made you work, but nothing too dangerous for first time boaters. The safety briefing and instruction was thorough, and extremely useful. We will definitely go back!

Fran Ray

Ed was our guide and did an excellent job navigating us through Cedar Creek. He shared a lot of information about the areas. history as well as the flora and wildlife.

Jerry Guev

Had a great experience with Palmetto. 4 friends and I had planned a trip to Congaree and needed to rent boats, and after a different company cancelled on us not once but twice, Palmetto was there to save the day. Thank you Bill for delivering and picking up the boats. We were able to complete our route flawlessly.

Eric McGraw

Great group of folks. Booked a canoe tour late Friday afternoon for Saturday morning. Evan, our guide, was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and helpful. Really enjoyed the time and hope to do a longer trip again in the future.

Lindsay Aaron

This was so much fun! Palmetto Outdoor did a great job organizing the tube rental to float down the Saluda River. The check in process was easy and the bus ride to the drop off location was smooth. It was also an easy process to turn in our tubes and lifejackets when we were done floating. Every staff member was so kind and helpful. Would do this every weekend if I could!

joshua Willits

We had some friends in town so we went tubing with Palmeto Outdoors and it was an absolute blast! They make it super easy and all of the employees were friendly/helpful. They even carried our heavy cooler down the hill for us. We will definitely go back this summer!

Ashley Steele

Go all the time. Whether your a local or visitor this is a must do activity. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. I caint get enough tubing!!!

R M

Highlight of our trip to Columbia and Congaree National Park trip. I don’t think there is an equivalent experience to paddling in the silence only punctuated by bird calls and paddles slipping into water. Special thanks to Evan our guide who kept a group of different abilities together and gave our 6 year olds a science adventure!

Kristin Comley

Great time, spent about four hours. Two parking lots available. Staff was very friendly and most accommodating. Be prepared for a walk to the river. Bring a cooler and rent a tube for the cooler. Met two of my adult children and friends there, absolutely will do it again

CST

Lazy river ride. Their People were helpful and pleasant. Did not like where you get on the river or off the river. Both could be dangerous.

B Fadem

Had a great canoe tour with guides, Bill and Evan, in the Congaree National forest. Was a fun, educational, relaxing experience that my entire family enjoyed. Would definitely Recommend!

Quinton Cox

Tour guides were very fun and informative. Highly recommend going on the tour.

Mary Washington

I will be honest and say after reading some of the reviews i was very skeptical of my first tubing experience. Some were saying how you had to walk this long treacherous path to get there and they throw you in without instruction. The walk there was on a road and literally a straight shot to the water. The guide was very thorough in rules of the river. I would strongly advise bringing a paddle. There were times we really had to paddle to get away from the bank and off rocks through the rapids. We luckily were given a handy stick thanks to some kind people we met along the way. We actually conversed with several people along the way which made it nice. The hardest part to me was right past the Gervais st bridge, you really had to be on the right side ready to get off. It came quick and we weren’t in position to get off. It was a fabulous time and I will definitely go again ,so if you complain about the little things this may not be for you.

Jenny H

Great time! We were totally inexperienced but by the end we were pros, thanks to the guides!

Patrick Fanella

Great experience tubing down the river. Directions were clean and guides were thorough when explaining the ins/outs and safety. Would highly recommend.

Caroline Steele

We rented the deluxe tubes and it was awesome! It lasted us about 4 hours because we stopped to play on the rope swings and do the class 4 rapid😂. Definatly come prepared to spend all day in the sun with sunscreen and water. We recommend bringing a paddle for the slow currents. We actually were going backwards due to the wind😂 Bill was awesome and told us alot about the history nearby!!!

Matt

We just visited here for a work outing/meeting yesterday and had a blast! We were some of the first to get to use their meeting space, including catered food AND ended the day with tubing down the river. The staff was awesome, especially Michael and Sierra. They adjusted the schedule as needed since we ran a little longer, but were completely helpful and very educated with the river and everything involved. I am very excited to see what the workspace will become! I would highly recommend this place and the staff!

William Sawyer

I was VERY pleased with Palmetto Outdoors!! In contrast to many 'recreational' outfitters, I found their staff to be very friendly, and quite helpful. We tubed down the Congaree in a group of 8, on a pleasant Sunday afternoon, and had a blast. Palmetto made clear to us exactly what we were getting into, and I felt like we were fully 'warned', although I didn't feel the need for any warning. The tubing is NOT a guided experience (fortunately) and if you are uncomfortable on the water without someone holding your hand, this is probably not the best activity for you. But, if you are looking for a delightful, very relaxing way to spend a lazy summer afternoon, for an incredibly reasonable price, with an operator that rents fully functional equipment, and is very helpful, I strongly recommend Palmetto Outdoors. We will definitely go back!

Deana Sanderson

The experience was great lots of fun, well organized and do not be late! The pricing was a bit conceiving, it was $7 for the ride and $7 with your own tube, and $10 with a kayak. We brought our own gear trying to save $$$$ but still had to pay. And don't inflate your tube because you have to deflate and they will blow up when you get there!

Brigitte T

We went tubing on a Saturday with some friends and we had the best time! It was my first time going and I already plan to go again this summer! The staff was really nice, helpful, and knowledgable about what we needed to know to be safe. Highly recommend this experience if you visit Columbia, not too expensive for a an all day type trip. Thanks ya’ll :)

Erin Bates

We had a great time tubing. Staff was awesome... Casey was especially helpful to our group of middle - aged ladies who couldn't manage to stay on course lol.

Joseph McDaniel

Took a great canoe tour on Cedar Creek with Palmetto Outdoor Company. Our guide, Bill, was tremendous. Knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful - he made the experience perfect. Would absolutely recommend!

Michelle Boldman

I love this place. We take our own tubes and they blow them up for you once you get to where you go to the river. Really nice people. Always have the best time everyone on the river is having fun, there are places so stop along the river. You get out right back where you started by your car.

Thea Ritchey

If you are looking to fulfill that inner trailblazer, Palmetto Outdoors is an adventure attraction that supplies you with tubes, kayaks and even guided tour opportunities to help you leisurely explore the city via its river routes. Come with an explorer state of mind or come and simply relax and let the river run through your senses. I had such a great experience tubing the river and plan to come back for the guided kayak tour ASAP!

Julia Vail

We took a guided canoe trip in Congaree and had an amazing time! Bill, our guide, was very knowledgeable and personable and it made for an incredible trip.

Griffin Burgess

Awesome company been using them for their shuttle service and equipment rentals for years. Floating takes about 3-4 hours depending on river level. As long as you listen to their instructions you won't have any issues with losing or damaging equipment! Have fun!

Matthew Hartpence

First time being in Columbia and wanted to do something new for a friends birthday! All I can say is , yeah anyone can float down the river... but if you want a worry free experience use palmetto outdoors ! These guys know their stuff and were awesome from beginning to end. Great job guys, won’t go floating any other way.

Sierra Hylton

The guided Congaree National Park trip was FANTASTIC! The guide was professional, knowledgeable and fun. He even took our group to the visitor center to get a souvenir and to explore the hiking trails. This is a trip I want to do again and again. Excellent views and a ton of fun.

Jason Singer

Our canoe tour of Cedar Creek with Palmetto Outdoors was definitely the best way to see Congaree National Park. The hiking trails are fine, but are confined to a very limited sector of the park, but canoes allow you to see a much larger and wilder portion of Congaree. Ou guide (Bill?) was super knowledgeable about the river's flora, fauna and history, comfortable going "off-trail", willing to take lots of pictures and was very patient with us, despite our mediocre paddling skills. We'd highly recommend this canoe tour as an affordable way to see snakes, otters, turtles, jumping fish and the beauty of Congaree's flooded forest.

Jason Jacquemain

Our fifth trip in that many weeks. So much fun! Best way to spend an afternoon… Everyone is super cool and helpful. Nothing but smiles. Thanks to Lucas for your insights. See you soon…

I had fun on my tubing trip, however I was upset at the management of this company. I had a stomach virus the day of my original trip and we called to see if we could reschedule and the girl on the phone said we could as long as we email them explaining the situation. However later in the week the management explained to us that there are no refunds or rescheduling. This made me mad because I could have sent someone else in my place on our original tubing trip so we didn’t waste 40 dollars on a trip.

Eric Williams

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Very timely woth the shuttles. Had a great time. Only downfall is tubes are not very comfortable for taller and bigger people.

Kim Mudger

Enjoyed tubing today! The folks at Palmetto Outdoors did a great job and were very detailed and organized about the trip. I would definitely book with them again!

Katie Maglocci

My friends and I were looking for something fun to do in Columbia and wanted to float down the river. This is a great 3 hour trip with both calm water and a couple rapids. The price is very affordable. If you enjoy getting outside for a few hours, this is a great activity.

tanya moseng

I drive from Charleston to spend time with my boyfriend and Palmetto Outdoors always makes the river an amazing experience! Michael and his staff are always kind, friendly and professional. I can't recommend them enough!

Anne Palyok

This is actually the Riverwalk not Palmetto Outdoors location. The parking is very limited and there is no place else close by to park. The Riverwalk is very nice, paved and mostly shaded right beside the beautiful river. Wide enough to pass others without being too tight.

Latoya Weston

I went with my 2 kids, ages 11 and 16. My daughter and I struggled but the guides were very helpful and patient. It was definitely a great spring break adventure!!!

Dina Arrington

This was a great float. Not very expensive. The staff was very nice. I think they need to have someone at the end to help you get out of the water. Great way to spend a HOT day!

Leisa Fichtner

The people who work at Palmetto Outdoors are all wonderful. I want to send a special thank you to Bill who went above and beyond. He helped me by buying me a poptart pack when I had gotten to the drop in and my sugars had plummeted and I had no glucose or money on me. Allowed me to get in and go on my adventure.

S3xPisTOL

Great tubing! They shuttle you up river and you end by your car

Karen Fulford

Our guide, Julie, was great! We enjoyed our time on the water.

Kate W

Went tubing and it was AMAZING. I’ve already recommended it to others and am calculating when I can do it again.

Alan McConnell

Excellent experience with canoe trip into Congaree guided by Evan. Could not have asked for a better experience. A+.

Rachael McNally

We had a great trip down the river in kayaks. Prices were good, staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Looking forward to next time!

Jacob Magar

Probably my most favorite thing to do in Columbia. The friendliest staff ever, local company, and such a great time always!! My summer is not complete without going down the river at least 5 times!

JC Shopping USA

Best place for family fun at the river in Columbia SC. If you like to float on the river and forget about your daily worries, you will be at the right place!!
