If you are looking for a unique way to spend time with family, friends, colleagues, or other acquaintances, this is about as crazy as you can get. Imagine flying over the water behind a power boat on a big, inflatable banana. That's right, a banana. It's big and yellow and lots of fun. Be sure to hold on because if you don't you might just go flying! But all in all, falling off is part of the fun. You know what they say, if you fall off the banana, you can either quit or hop right back on. And trust me, you will want to get back on this banana. Slide through the beautiful South Carolina waters and spend a great day enjoying an activity that is about as far from the norm as you can get.

The banana boat can hold up to six people, and three riders are required for each run. This activity is great for family reunions, birthday parties, and more.

The House Museum, built by Henry Middleton in 1755 as a gentlemen's guest quarters, is the only surviving portion of the three-building residential complex that once stood overlooking the Ashley River.
