BAD AT BUSINESS
CANCELS TRIP LAST MINUTE
DOES NOT COMMUNICATE OR RESPOND
DOES NOT REFUND
UNPROFESSIONAL
I DON’T LEAVE BAD REVIEWS, SO FOR ME TO DO THIS…SHEESSSHHH
READ FOR SPECIFICS:
Such a disappointing and time-wasting experience. Before I explain my experience with Adventure Carolina just let me begin with, I choose Adventure Carolina because of all the great reviews, I should have paid more attention to when the reviews were from. Years ago, it seems they had great reviews, but the latest reviews will show they cancel last minute (which happened to us), and communication is terrible (also experienced this).
The trip was $90, I told Kevin (owner of Adventure Carolina) once I hung up with him I would send the Venmo payment…15 minutes later Kevin called me back and said “Did you send that Venmo? I can’t reserve the spot unless you pay.” I apologized for not sending it right away, either way, within 15 minutes of reserving I sent $120 in total ($30 for gratuities), although we did not go on the trip yet, I want to make sure I sent payment with gratuities to avoid forgetting later.
The payment was sent, and Saturday was all set. We were meeting Kevin at a meeting spot to start the trip at noon.
Saturday, I text Kevin at 8 AM just to confirm we were all good, no response. After packing up for 3 kids and 3 adults, lunches, clothing, and coolers Kevin calls at 11:40 to cancel because of car problems. I’m human, stuff happens, no big deal, basically told Kevin “I’m sorry to hear that, just send the refund, and we will find something else to do today, no worries.” Without going into every little detail let’s just say “many” ignored phone calls, “many’ ignored text messages, and “many” Venmo requests for the $120 back, Kevin completely ignored me. SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY…NOTHING.
My brother then decided to text Kevin from his phone number to “book a trip” to see if Kevin would respond …SURE ENOUGH KEVIN CALLS MY BROTHER BACK. At this point I am shaking with disappointment because he had been ignoring me completely to avoid sending the money back, either way, my brother answers, and Kevin’s going through his “business run down, pricing blah blah blah” when my brother then says “let me put my sister on the phone who is in charge of the trip”…I get on the phone and say “ Hi Kevin this is Amelia, I need you to send that money back” Shocked that it was me, I then asked Kevin why has he been ignoring my text, calls and Venmo request, he claimed to never have got any of them, yet he got my brother’s text and called from that exact number.
Anyways the reason for my review
I TOLD KEVIN IN THESE EXACT WORDS “I KNOW REVIEWS CAN REALLY MAKE OR BREAK A BUSINESS AND I AM JUST LOOKING FOR A REFUND, THAT’S WHY I’VE BEEN TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU BECAUSE I’M NOT OUT TO RUIN YOUR BUSINESS BUT I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK.” KEVIN G. FROM ADVENTURE CAROLINA TELLS ME “A BAD REVIEW WON’T HURT HIS BUSINESS AND HE WILL SEND THE MONEY BACK IN THE AFTERNOON BECAUSE HE IS BUSY.”
4 DAYS OF BEING IGNORED AND 2 DAYS AFTER HE SAID HE WOULD SEND THE MONEY BACK I STILL HAVEN’T RECEIVED THE MONEY; I HAVE WASTED SO MUCH TIME TRYING TO GET HIM TO PAY ME BACK. I FINALLY WENT THROUGH VENMO AND THE BANK TO GET MY MONEY BACK, NOW THAT THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING IT, I WANTED TO MAKE IT A POINT TO TELL OTHERS …. BEWARE!!
I DON’T LEAVE MANY REVIEWS, ESPECIALLY BAD ONES, BUT SOME PEOPLE JUST DON’T KNOW HOW TO RUN A BUSINESS.
I was walking away with a canceled trip and days of not getting my money back, but once I feel cheated, disrespected and I have exhausted all other options to be courteous to your businesses reputation and Kevin was not worried about my refund or review, now I will make it a point to let everyone know, DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME.

We toured with Kevin, who was great! He got back to our calls and texts promptly. When we arrived he gave us an intro to kayaking and exercises to help us fine-tune our new skills. Not only is he a great teacher, but he is also knowledgeable about the river and history of the area, which was a neat bonus! Kevin is super personable and we would love to tour with him again next time we’re in the area!

Thank you Kevin for 2 amazing days of kayaking.
We highly recommend Adventure Carolina for anyone who wants to explore the Columbia rivers and have a good time.
Kevin is profesional, funny and passionate about the outdoors.
We’ll be back next year!!!

Thank you so much to KG for helping to put together a last minute paddle down the Saluda today! Our whole family enjoyed the first paddle of the season.

We wanted to go kayaking on Labor Day Monday in Congaree National Park. After reading another Trip advisor review I knew to call Adventure Carolina. I am sure glad I did. I called a week in advance and left a message. Kevin called me back and made all the arrangements. He met us on Monday morning and put 2 foam forms on the top of our rental car. He strapped it down and told us the best way to drive 25 minutes to the park on the side streets. The price for a double kayak was very reasonable.

We visited SC to see the eclipse, and watched the eclipse from the middle of the Congaree River on an Adventure Carolina canoe trip. Kevin Geddings organized a super trip for us, and went out of his way to pick up food for us before we arrived. The staff were well organized, the prices were reasonable, and they knew the river and guided us well. They were also fun to be around. Great trip overall. Thanks!

Super helpful staff & very knowledgeable. I drove down from NYC in my little car and they were able to fit the kayak on top without damaging the vehicle at all. I was given numerous local pointers which aided me. The park was great & not so well traveled. Would recommend both the park and Adventure Carolina to anyone visiting the area.

Outfitted us for a great canoe trip in Congaree National Park. Price was great for all the gear plus delivery of the canoes. It was easy to set up, and coordinate by text message. Helped us get all set up and tipped us off on where to go. Were flexible about pickup time. Plus the park was beautiful! This was one of the highlights of our vacation.

We came down from Fort Mill, SC area to step up our kayak experience. We all had down the flat river trips, but wanted a more advanced trip. Our kids are 16,14, and 12 and we ALL had a blast on the Saluda with Justin! Justin was laid back and patient and taught our whole group while on the river. He was fun and full of knowledge, too. We will be back!!

We choose an outdoor activity as we were passing through Columbia. I emailed and left messages twice. They aren't timely in getting back to you. We had a nice 3 hours on the Congaree River. Our guide needed to teach some newbies but mainly let them struggle in the back. She was nice, but needed to learn how to be a guide and make our experience better. The trip was good., not great.
