After SURVIVOR Games is completed your Adventure Host will lead all teams to a remote 48-acre private island on the Waccamaw River. Get ready for a dose of Survivor-style excitement as you and your teammate tackle thrilling challenges, unlocking clues to release your kayaks. The ultimate final challenge? Racing a half mile up the river back to our Outpost in the grand Paddle Battle!

Your Adventure Host will be your guide throughout the challenges on the island. From endurance tests like "Balls in Balance" to brain-teasers like "Crack the Code," each challenge is designed to test your skills, teamwork, and a touch of strategy.
