Adventure with a Survivor Twist
Adventure is in River Island Adventures’ DNA, thanks to Jeff’s passion for Survivor.

Turning a Dream into Reality
River Island Adventures is more than just a business—it’s the result of Jeff’s determination to create something truly unique. After being inspired by a treehouse stay on the Edisto River, he traded his real estate career for outdoor adventure. He secured a 48-acre island and built the business from the ground up. Despite major floods, including Hurricane Florence, Jeff turned setbacks into opportunities, creating a place where adventure and holiday spirit thrive together.
