Island Adventure Watersports has been Myrtle Beach’s top-rated Intracoastal Waterway watersports destination since 2012, offering jet ski rentals, guided backcountry jet ski tours, pontoon and tritoon boat rentals, wakeboarding, and tiki boat tours. The business operates from an exclusive riding area within a pristine nature preserve, avoiding the crowded chaos of more open waters.
Jet ski rentals start at $125/hour on state-of-the-art Yamaha VX jet skis, with expert instruction, full safety gear, and fuel all included. The Backcountry Jet Ski Tour, starting at $220, is a guided 2-hour thrill ride through secret tributaries and untouched waterways, covering more than 50 miles of smooth, flat water surrounded by cypress trees, Spanish moss, and wildlife, with a stop at a serene nature preserve for photos partway through. Boat rentals start at $299 for a half-day (4 hours), with spacious pontoon and tritoon boats loaded with plush seating, a Bluetooth stereo, and Bimini shade, perfect for cruising south to the Waccamaw Nature Preserve or north toward Barefoot Landing. Wakeboarding sessions (up to 6 riders) start at $590, and tiki boat tours offer a floating bar experience with drinks, music, and scenic Intracoastal views.
With more than 1,000 five-star reviews (368 on this listing alone), guests consistently praise the friendly staff, stunning riding area, and knowledgeable guides who take visitors to spots they’d never find on their own.
Season runs March through October, with daily hours from 8am to 6:30pm (varying by activity). The business also serves the wider Grand Strand, including Surfside Beach, Garden City, Murrells Inlet, Socastee, Conway, Litchfield Beach, and Pawleys Island.
For visitors to Myrtle Beach looking for jet skis, guided backcountry tours, pontoon rentals, wakeboarding, or a tiki boat cruise, Island Adventure Watersports offers a highly reviewed, 1,000+ five-star operation right on the Intracoastal Waterway.
