Reviews for Choose Your Adventure: River Tubing Experience or Kayaking to a Private Island

We did the river tubing and it was excellent the weather was perfect but besides that the staff was amazing. Would recommend. Nice little getaway and you wouldn’t even know your so close to the beach in this Blackwood River area.

RIA is a great way to spend the day with family and gave us something different to do while on our beach vacation. The owner Jeff actively works and engages with the guests which was really cool to see. Everyone there is super nice and helpful. We purchased the full day pass which gave us access to tubing, paddle boards and kayaks as well as the giant games they have set out. You will not be disappointed if you choose to spend your day here!

We Kayaked and went tubing and played at the River outpost and grilled up some yummy food. Staff was super nice and helpful.

We had an AMAZING time river tubing. A relaxing time going down the river to the island and being able to enjoy the views and the natural aspects of South Carolina! An awesome experience! Everyone was super hospitable and that cooler was such a great addition! Thank you to the owner and staff for a beautiful time!

Our experience was phenomenal!!! We did tubing and kayaking we had a big group and we all enjoyed it very much! Jeff was very nice and I am excited for all the big plans he has for his place! We will come back to see all the new exciting ideas! His staff was wonderful, kind, amazing and friendly! Thank you for making this experience great! Also for all the patience with my group lol! This is a must activity to do if your down here!!

River Island is an awesome get away! Jeff has a lot for people of all ages to do out there. We went tubing down the river and it was very relaxing! Great hospitality as well, we grilled out on the propane grill and ate s'mores by the fire.

What an amazing experience. Myself, my husband and our four kids (15, 12. 11 and 8) had a blast. From the games at the campsite, to tubing down the river, exploring the island and kayaking each moment was filled with smiles and fun family time. We’ll be sure to come back next year for more family fun. The staff were all amazing. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent day. We went kayaking, paddle boarding, and tubing. I had never done any of these activities before. Nor had my sisters. The staff was awesome and did everything to make us feel comfortable and gave great instruction. We would definitely do it again. Oh by the way we range in age from 47 to 66. Never too old to learn and have a great time doing so.

We were there in October 2021. It was our first time camping. My two daughters loved the river tubing and the late night fire pit and hammocks. The atmosphere is so serene. The bathrooms and showers are beautiful. We were definitely in touch with nature. Very nice place to camp with many things to do as well. The staff is very professional and friendly. As first timers, they help us a lot. Definitely would recommend this place to everyone.

Ladies Group did a tubing event, but they also let some of try paddleboards and other Kayak. This is the #1 reason we choose them because they let us try difference things rather than just the tubing. Great thing to do. We had a great time, did a picnic follow up. Clean , nice facility
