Reviews for Island Vibes by the River: Polynesian Luau Show & Dinner Experience

This place is amazing!! We have been before but always love our time at the River. This year we glamped in the fancy tent, played the super fun survivor game and kayaked to the island for extraordinary s’mores! Next on the wishlist is staying in the treehouse!

Stayed here through air bnb with my fiance. They offer several experiences from glamping to good ol' fashioned camping. We glamped and hung out for the weekend and loved every second of it! 100% recommend. We also kayaked and will return to do their island adventure challenges!

You can do glamping and kayaking at the river as a guided tour. Rwall6fun for the whole family.

I could not have been happier glamping here. We stayed here with our 5 kids(all in their teens and above). Not one of them complained about this place being nothing but amazing! Even our oldest(22) who has Down syndrome has asked to go back already. Everyone was so nice! Adventuring and exploring all this place has to offer was so nice! I cannot thank the owner and all involved for giving me and all of my family this amazing experience. We will absolutely be back!

We spent a whole week “glamping” at River Island Adventures. At first I didn’t know what to expect because even after years of following them on social media we finally decided to try it out years later. All I can say is I wish we have done this earlier. We loved the place so much. The easy going employees and owners were great! They have so many things available to do for kids and adults. On the camping ground they have games, swings, some toys, fire pit, grills and much more. They have a ton of excursions to try out as well! We had planned for something different each day, all day unlimited tubbing or kayaking, then a kayak tour, and last but definitely not least, escaping river island game... what a fun time this was. If you are thinking twice about river island, don’t! Go all in, bring friends or family and have a blast!

Easy online booking, very friendly and helpful staff. We rented two single kayaks for an hour with life preservers provided. They recommended a route for us to follow. It was peaceful and beautiful. Paddling up-river was a little challenging but it was worth being able to float down on our way back. There were zero mosquitos out this time of year (late September). We didn’t see much wildlife on the Waccamaw River, other than a few egrets. We also played cornhole at the boards they had out. They have glamping tents on high wooden platforms with queen-sized beds, rechargeable fans, and power packs and a nice outdoor kitchen, flushing toilets, and showers. There was also an adventure river escape happening that day which looked really fun. Overall, they have a lot to do. Highly recommend.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! This is a must do for anyone wanting a fun glamping adventure. We rented the treehouse on the private island and it is absolutely amazing. You feel completely secluded but it’s so comfy and there’s so many fun games and areas to explore. We had a BLAST doing the survival game. Not to mention the owner is extremely nice and so accommodating.

This is literally my favorite place to escape to! I live in Myrtle beach and it’s the worker getaway from all the tourists and craziness. There is so much to do…games, a projection screen, kayaking, shows…always a blast! The glamping tents are super spacious and comfortable Jeff is the most accommodating business owner I’ve ever met. He goes above and beyond for all of his guests!! Ask him to boil water in a bag over the fire! It’s super impressive!!’

We live in myrtle beach and love coming out for a quick getaway. This was our first glamping experience, normally we pitch a tent, but this was way better. Already have another weekend booked. Highly recommend!!!

This amazing property is a lot of fun! River island adventures makes you want to go glamping (and that's not even close to Kyle thing), and is so inviting with the tubing, jet skis, kayak, camping, fire pits, grills and yard games. We competed in the super fun escape from River Island that our family of three competed in. This is part Amazing Race part Survivor part escape room we could do this over and over and over again. We would come back to Myrtle Beach for this adventure alone! There are 10 obstacles and the final challenge is the paddle battle to kayak a half a mile up to the finish line. This group has amazing things planned for this property. We can't wait to come back again with all of the planned activities they have. From glamping tents to Treehouse camping and the future plans of a Survivor Island. We would be most excited for the floating Tiki Bar that can serve cocktails as you are kayaking! We can't wait to visit again and see all the progress here, at the already amazing facility!
