    This was our first time at an escape room and We had so much fun!! It is a great experience. I love how creative the room was and the puzzles were detailed. And the riddles were good too. We can wait to come again and unlock another room.

    I’ve been doing tours and trips with CEX since I was in high school. There is no better outfitter in the area. There’s a seemingly endless amount of trips, tours, boat rides, kayaking trips, etc. The guides for every event are always extremely knowable. I can’t wait to watch this organization continue expanding down the coast, bringing their knowledge and professionalism to the community around them. Big fan. Highly recommend. 10 out of 10 every time for 3 decades.

    Chartered their 43 foot Beneteau "Mystique" for a custom 4 hour sail that was intended to provide us a "feel" for sailing the type of vessel we are considering. I made all of the arrangements with owner operator Dustin who was excellent and exceptionally accommodating. We sailed in conditions that were less than ideal for some. Winds blowing a constant 18-20 knots with the occasional 35-40 mph gusts. The boat handled beautifully as Captain Dustin guided me through maneuvers. We absolutely loved it. If you're considering a captained charter, we highly recommend, and without reservation, Dustin and his crew at Charleston Sailing Charters.

    We choose to do the Lavinia Fisher room. I enjoyed the historical references to our experience. We escaped before the time was up. Having done a few, I would say this was 2/5 difficulty. A lot of fun still!!

    We have booked many fossil hunts with Charleston Fossil Adventures. It is always a big highlight of our trips to the Lowcountry! Captain Ashby's enthusiasm is contagious, and his knowledge unmatched. Someday we hope to get really lucky on one of the adventures. :D !

    Hosted a Wounded Warrior Project event here!

    Hugh (the owner) is awesome! Very easy to work with to set up private events! He makes sure participants understand the safety and mechanics behind climbing at the facility before going out and having a blast!

    We had a group under 15 people so it was a quaint experience. The facility can accommodate much larger groups. Hugh had music playing and there were several picnic tables near the climbing area to rest or for spectators who were not climbing. There is a stand alone building where you sign in, get a helmet, gear, drink, etc. it also has restrooms.

    Our group had a great time and will likely return again in the future. Upon leaving I learned about upcoming opportunities for laser tag there as well. I would highly recommend this business for a unique challenge for individuals or groups!

    I booked us for my daughter’s 5th birthday, and along with my 7 year old son we zoomed around the harbor. They had a blast and our experience was safe and a ton of fun.

    My friend and I had a great fishing trip with Captain Geoff. He was very knowledgeable about the ocean and knew exactly where the fish were. Not only did he know where to find them, but he also knew how to get them in the boat. I am looking forward to going again next year!

    We had an amazing tour with Lance. He knew his history, the humor plus the ghost stories he told made the night unforgettable. We’d highly recommend this tour, take advantage of the late night time they offer. Well worth it!!

    Our experience with Om Sailing Charters was fantastic. They were communicative leading up to the day about potential changes in weather and made us feel safe and assured everything would be fine. Our captain was wonderful, and the boat was dreamy. Could not recommend more highly!
