West Columbia, SC

Adventure awaits in the Palmetto State!

Palmetto Outdoor is a tubing and canoe outfitter located in the heart of West Columbia’s River District. It all started with a handful of tubes, life jackets, and a desire to get people outside. Michael Mayo, the Executive Director of Palmetto Outdoor, has since turned his simple love for the outdoors into the largest tubing outfitter in South Carolina, arguably the South East.

Today, there are multiple trip offerings- like our guided Congaree National Park Canoe tour that’s offered year round. Now people from all over the country, even all over the world, come to explore the Three Rivers Region and what it has to offer.
