10 Exciting Bucket List Adventures in Myrtle Beach

Love TV shows like Survivor and Amazing Race? Now you can be part of something similar in Myrtle Beach! River Island Adventures is home to the Escape River Island challenge where guests will team up in teams of two and compete against other players in challenges in order to escape from a secluded island on the river! If that’s not something you want to do, River Island Adventures also offers activities such as kayaking, tubing, pontoon boat rides, camping, and more!

Thrill seekers can knock out a couple bucket list items at Broadway Grand Prix. Not only can you zip around on seven go-kart tracks, but you can also test your strength and climb to the top of a rock wall. If you’ve done both of those things before, then you must take a ride on the Sky Coaster! The Sky Coaster is a large swing-like ride that brings riders up 100 feet in the air, and then drops them to swing at speeds reaching a whopping 100 miles per hour.

Have you ever wanted to go parasailing? There is no better place to fly high up in the air above the ocean than in Myrtle Beach! At Downwind Sails, you can cross parasailing off your bucket list, as well as many other fun activities. Spend your day on the ocean by booking adventures like jet skiing, banana boating, sailboat rides, sea life excursions, stand up paddleboarding, kayaking, and surfing.

Sure, you can do a lot of the same things at Express Watersports that you can do at Downwind Sails Watersports, but one thing that sets Express Watersports apart from other watersports companies in the area is that they offer Scuba Diving and Free Diving. If you’ve ever been interested in learning how to scuba dive, then you must check out Express Watersports’ several scuba diving programs where you can learn the sport in a pool or in open water. 

Go on an adventure among the treetops at Go Ape Zipline and Treetop Adventure! Located in North Myrtle Beach, Go Ape is a great bucket list activity for those who want to test their bravery of conquering several ropes courses as well as ziplines. Make your way through several daunting bridges and obstacles on the ropes courses (don’t worry; you won’t fall) before soaring through the woods and over lakes on the exciting ziplines!

Hang ten with the pros at Kokopelli Surf Camp. Fulfill your dream of learning how to surf with brothers Brandon and Wyatt Todd who will teach you the ins and outs of surfing. No matter what your age or experience with surfing, the team at Kokopelli Surf Camp will patiently work with you so that you can get up and ride some waves.

If you’re one of those people who has the need for speed, then head on over to the Myrtle Beach Speedway for the ultimate bucket list adventure. Myrtle Beach Speedway offers the opportunity to drive a real NASCAR racecar by yourself! If that’s too extreme for you, then you can always opt to do a NASCAR ride along, or take a spin in a Pace Car. Whichever you choose, you will definitely have a blast.

The name says it all; these rides aren’t for the faint of heart! Myrtle Beach Thrill Rides boasts three very scary rides, along with three family-friendly rides. For your bucket list adventure, skip the family-friendly rides and go straight for the thrill. The SlingShot will shoot you high up into the air, well, like a slingshot, and you will most likely scream at the top of your lungs, but it’s worth it! Riders on the Skyscraper will spin you 170 feet in the air at speeds up to 60 miles per hour.  And finally, guests on the Air Strike are seated back to back in free spinning vehicles. As the ride spins, so do you. Sounds like fun, right?!

Wild Water & Wheels is home to a variety of water slides, water features, go-karts, rides, mini-golf, and more. The real thrill here, however, lies in the exhilarating speed slides. For a true bucket list adventure, head straight for the Triple Dip, the Side Winder, the Serpentine, and the Free Fall Cliff Dive.

View the Grand Strand from a new perspective and cross an item off of your bucket list all at once! Helicopter Adventures offers awesome helicopter tours for the whole family to enjoy. If you decide to take a tour with Helicopter Adventures, you have the choice of the following tour options: Fly 4 Fun (Broadway at the Beach), Boardwalk Adventure, Pine Lakes Adventure, Dunes Adventure, Briarcliffe Adventure, Barefoot Adventure, and the Grand Adventure.
