The women checking us in were so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Enjoyed talking with them. Would recommend.

The river was a little flooded at the time, but we were still able to go down the river.
And because of the distance
We actually went twice, could have probably gone a third time. Very friendly and accommodating.
As my son switched what he was using to go down the river.

Thanks for coming, glad you enjoyed your time here!

We had a great time on our tubing trip. The river was very high because of all of the rain, but the owner, Jeff, was in touch several times by phone with updates, and the day of our trip was beautiful weather. We had a big group, with ages from 4 to 60, and we all had a great time.

It was a pleasure meeting you all, thanks for coming!

Lots of fun. Jeffrey is passionate about his business. Everyone around him can feel it. The area had flooded when we went and they were so willing to accommodate us however we wanted (refund or different activity or proceed). We were so appreciative of their proactive approach, informing us of those weather-related challenges. The tube floating was so fun.

We had fun! Owner was very friendly and survivor island was fun too! Better experience 2nd round- 1st round 1 of the kids flipped out and couldn’t get back in for at least 10 minutes but they had life jackets and everything was fine -just scared but not scared enough to not go again….
Eric_P, Aug 2025
Big thanks to Jeff, Natasha and Leah for creating a great experience for the family. I highly recommend to everyone, and even more so it's always great to talk to welcoming, down-to-earth people. We plan to come back in the future

It was good time going down the river, except my youngest had this fear that an Alligator was going to get us.
JOE_H, Jul 2025

Slow float for 20 minutes and then they take you back up river to do it again. Not really three hours. Nice workers but not worth the price. We floated for 20-40 minutes and left.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
The length of the float trip is completely dependent on the ever changing river levels. The higher the river level the faster the float trip, it can range from 25 - 45 minutes per trip and we pick you up and bring you back. You are able to do as many trips as you would like during the 3 hour time frame which it clearly states in the description.

We had the best time! Very peaceful float and the staff was BEYOND amazing! I dropped my phone getting out of the raft (that was thankfully in a waterproof holder) and he got in the water and found it! Totally above and beyond for us and we are so grateful!
Definitely check this place out. Everyone that worked there was so kind and helpful and had the biggest smiles.
Thank you for a great afternoon! We will be back!

It was a birthday celebration and a great time. Jeff and Libby were wonderful and lots of fun.
I gave a 4 not 5 because of the life vests. They were gross. They had a very strong BO smell and sandy. If you’re required to wear the vest they should be an acceptable clean.
Otherwise everything was what we were hoping for .

The kayaking experience was very exciting and beautiful, I would recommend this excursion to everyone!! Love it!!!!
Patricia_P, Oct 2021
A couple of ladies invited me on their tour. So thankful. Wonderful time. Great guide-Cherish. So much to see. So peaceful
Starlette_B, Oct 2021
This was the first time I ever went Tubing and it was fun. It was so peaceful and relaxing. I will have to do the kayaking next time. The staff was awesome also. I don't know how to swim but I didn't have any problems. This was my birthday gift to myself. My sistas came with me which made it even funnier. None of us knew how to swim.
Tomlin_D, Jul 2021

My family and I had a blast at River Island Adventures tubing and kayaking! We paddled down the River then floated back. We beached an on island and ate lunch we brought along in a floating cooler. We also played games. I highly recommend for a summer fun filled day!
Diane_W, Jun 2021
It was great until we got to the end of the river or a turnaround we wasn’t sure what to do there was no instructions on that but all in all it was a great trip my first time ever kayaking but as I said I didn’t know what to do when we got to the end
Response from Host, Jun 2021
I am glad to hear your first time kayaking was a great experience! I am sorry for any miscommunication on our part for not making it clear you need to return to the launch point once you are finished. We hope you return in the future!
Lisa_H, Jun 2021
Talk about a wonderful time! The owner and son were so nice and made everything's so easy. I highly recommend them!!!
Michelle_S, Jun 2021
We had a magnificent time! The river was low so my understanding is it should've been even better. We would definitely do this again! Beth and Cameron were amazing! So nice and very accommodating. The owner Jeff even gave us a ride on the pontoon! LOVED our day with these folks!
Randa_K, May 2021
The river was low, but we did exactly what we wanted to do. Three adults were able to have a single person kyayak. We paddle as far as we could, then turned around. The area was well kept. The service was on point. Very satisfied.
Mark_F, May 2021
We really enjoyed our time here. We had a blast!!!! We stayed for our whole time we had the half day.
Frederick_S, May 2021
A nice lazy trip. I brought a novice so water level abs currents we just right for us. A great River to learn.
But durning Rainey season, it would be a challenging river.
Response from Host, May 2021
We enjoyed having you all!
Tijuana_B, Apr 2021
None really. My two children and I was the only ones there doing the tubing. Paid for a half day but only ended up staying for 30 mins
Response from Host, Apr 2021
Hi Tijuana,
People had been tubing all day! I'm sorry it was just ok and hope you'll try it again in the future and check out the kayaking and paddle boarding as well. I actually have a great pic of you and kids and will message to you 🥰
Quintina_A, Mar 2021
