Escape River Island

9 Reviews

Up to 6 teams of 2 people each are guided to a secluded 48 acre private island on the Waccamaw River and will compete in 8 Survivor-style challenges and solve clues to unlock their tandem kayaks and race a half mile up river back to our Outpost. Your Adventure Host will give you all the instructions and be with the teams on the island throughout the challenges. All participants must be at least 16 years old (unless playing on the same team as their parent/guardian) and sign a waiver prior to the activity. This adventure is in a true nature setting that requires the participants to be able to paddle, navigate through a forest environment in addition to solving clues and completing physical challenges with their partner. Part Survivor, Part Escape Room, Part Amazing Race!

Your group can choose to not do the final paddle challenge but instead ride back from the island on the pontoon. If you choose to not paddle back your finish times will no be eligible for the Leader Board.
