“First time being in Columbia and wanted to do something new for a friends birthday! If you want a worry free experience use Palmetto Outdoors ! These guys know their stuff and were awesome from beginning to end. Great job guys, won’t go floating any other way.”

Safety first.
Before every river trip, our guides administer a safety speech detailing important river safety practices. Whether it's your first time floating or you're a seasoned river user, safety is imperative in order to have a fun river trip.
Always wear your life jacket, no matter your ability.
If you come out of your tube or kayak, float on your back with your feet pointed downstream and use your hands to guide you into the deepest channel of water.
Never stand up in whitewater and you won't have to worry about foot entrapments.
