Great store for purchasing outdoor clothing, books, and hiking and camping! The people who work at Sunrift are very knowledgable, friendly, and extremely helpful. Hiking, biking, kayaking or canoeing, backpacking - Sunrift has the gear and a customer-friendly mindset. read more

I would have given them 1 STAR but since they fixed my bike, they got another STAR. when I dropped off my bike I was told that a tune up was $70. When I came back my feet was near double that price. I was not given a call or notice that more was required and thus a price change. When I came to pick up my bike the worker told me that he had been working in the industry for over 20 years and calling customers about a price change is not something he does. I was clearly frustrated with lack of concern for customer or empathy. It was only after I said I hope for your next customer that you let them know if a price is going to change. In hindsight I should not had paid the additional fees. read more

I really like Sunrift. They have an amazing selection for the size of their sales floor. And, for the brands I like and buy, their sales prices are the same as on line. Super service... read more

I use to Love the store. If any issues w big purchases. Record your conversations. They don't stand by their policies. read more

I really like the personalized attention I receive here. They know their business and seem to provide a decent selection and value.

Great store for two reasons - First, Robert in the bike shop went above and beyond to rescue my bike. I arrived unannounced mid-ride with a serious drivetrain problem. Robert completed the repairs while I waited - thankful that I didn't mess up his repair queue for the day. He also re-seated my rear tire (I didn't do it properly at home), then gave a test ride to ensure all was well. He saved the day so I could ride the Gran Fondo the next day. Huge props. Second - while waiting for the repair I was impressed with the diverse selection of outdoor gear and clothing. My guess is if you can't find it here, you won't find it anywhere. Eager to stop by on my next visit. read more

Helpful, friendly staff that took my small order over the phone and shipped it to me in CA. I'll definitely visit Sunrift if I ever find myself in Travelers Rest. read more

There's not really anything bad to say about this place. Every time I go in I'm always greeted with several smiles and greetings, regardless if I'm just browsing or buying. Today's trip took me to the bike shop and I'm shopping for a new mountain bike and bike rack for a 2" receiver. I spoke with Cat in the bike shop and she took her time to explain the different bikes they had in stock and even showed me the bike rack I had my eye on. At no time did l indicate that I wouldn't be buying today but she went ahead and explained everything to me as if I were buying today. So when the time comes I'll definitely be back. Companies need more people like Cat working for them. read more

Great experience renting bicycles for my family from Sunrift to bike the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

This place was great! The guys working here were friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us some good advise for places to bike to and got us all set up for a fun day on the Swamp Rabbit Trail! Quick, friendly and fun! read more

Sunrift Adventures - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Travelers Rest, South Carolina

The service went from bad to worse. multiple issues that were never made right. communication could have been better.

Terrible customer service. they didn't seem interested to offer help, few staff were very nice but mostly they were walking around like "in a coffee shop ". I would like to buy a bike from local shop, guy didn't know too much about bike, except reading tag price. I will buy online from a reputable bike shop and pick up in Greenville, instead. read more

We pulled in here when the cable tensioner on our tandem started acting up. It's convenient, right off the Swamp Rabbit Trail, and they have good mechanics, as well as a free air pump outside . They sell all sorts of stuff including bicycles, kayaks, sports gear and more. Be sure to stop in! read more

Sunrift Adventures - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Travelers Rest, South Carolina

Whether a hiker, cyclist, or paddler, this place is hard to beat. A vast selection of gear by all the faves, including Tifosi Optics (best value in quality sunglasses on the market), Keen, Merrill, Kona Bikes, etc. Friendly staff always eager to assist. Kudos especially to the bike shop staff headed up Waylon ! read more

Went in today with my mom's rolling walker. The brakes weren't working on one side. The guys in the cycle shop immediately fixed it, adjusted the other side, and wouldn't take payment. I wish I'd gotten the gentleman's name. But he told me "this is for someone to live; it's not recreational". It's wonderful to see that spirit today. read more

We love this place and stopped in here the last time we were in TR. This outfitter has a little of everything for the cyclist, kayaker, hiker, and camper. I picked up a map of the Foothills Trail and my husband got a pair of Darn Tough socks. He ended up chatting for quite a bit with the cashier, who is a runner at Furman. My husband was a runner in college too, so it was fun to listen to them. The bike shop loaned him an Allen wrench so he could tighten his handlebars. Good staff, nice merch. read more

Great service from the guys behind the counter. Super easy rental and return. They open early and close at 6 so we got half day pricing and got a cyclers view of the trail and down town. I'd recommend these guys for a round trip rental and will likely do it again if and when I come back to travelers rest. read more

See all

I rented a kayak from them and they were very helpful with giving advise and helping load the boat onto my vehicle. Always a great place to shop if you are into biking, hiking, kayaking, camping, trail running, climbing or similar outdoor activity read more

Great customer service on the phone and in person. Rented a few bikes for the day and these guys were just great.

wanted to give Mike in particular a great review - my sister has very difficult to fit feet due to obesity and a genetic disorder, but Mike really took the time to fit her for better shoes than the New Balances she'd been wearing for her condition - much appreciated read more

Kayak side of staff was not helpful at all. I walk in very interested in getting a Feelfree lure 11.5 No staff bothered coming up to me to help, they seemed like they were too busy having fun cracking jokes with each other. Old guy that works there named Yeti was too busy showing one of the staff his pumpkin ice cream. Another older lady seemed like she had ADHD, she was more interested talking to her staff then running back and helping me. They need to hammering down on the professionalism in this business, staff needs to eat in designated break areas... read more

Staff is more concerned with their conversations than helping customers. I'd like to give a small business my money instead of the bigger stores. Drove out of my way to get here and found no help in looking for a new hiking backpack for me and my son. I guess I'll spend my money at REI instead. Shame. Used to a great place here in TR. read more

Horrid staff. They will treat you like a thief, follow you around. Offer ZERO help. Once I was in there this chick said nothing to me and my boyfriend except the second he dropped down his mask below his nose. Seriously? Then you as an afterthought say "Can I help you?" To me after she saw my face. Just moved to travelers rest and would spend all the money there but every time! This staff needs to be completely all let go and replaced with actual people that are helping. Also the staff were loudly talking rudely about the customer who had just walked outside. Ugh I can't even say enough about how trash sun rift is. Again, great stock but been scared away too many times read more

Love the outdoors but don't own anything to make the outdoor experience worthwhile? Here's a place to visit when you're camping, biking, rafting, or simply trail walking. Great staff and great goods. read more

Absolutely the perfect place to get everything for the outdoors, camping, etc. They have a lot of great clothes, ie., northface, columbia, pantagonia, etc. Support your local businesses! ALSO, so amazing because they have stuff on sale ALL the time :) oh no refunds, only exchanges. but their service is great. read more

Bought a new mtb at Sunrift. Kelly took the time to make sure I got the correct fit. The clipless pedals she recommended work great! She also explained how to take care of the hydraulic brakes. All in all a great buying experience! read more

We love the bike shop. Have received great service and great advice. We even bring our bikes in from out of town as we prefer to have sunrift service them. We always feel well taken care of and there is never an attempt to sell unnecessary accessories. read more

Great store for all your outdoor needs! We have bought bikes, climbing gear, cold weather wear, and much more! Everything is exactly what we needed. All the employees were so helpful and friendly. The store is always clean and well stocked. read more

They carry really good brands. The store is harder to navigate than a place like REI because it is packed full of merchandise but you can find field tested gear. Staff is laid back, approaching aloof, but you can always find one of the staff helpful. read more

I can't say enough good things about the staff at Sunrift! I am currently in the process of buying a touring kayak from them, and they have really gone the extra mile to find me exactly what I want and get it for me as quickly as possible. I live in Charlotte, but found none of the outfitters around here had anywhere near the selection of kayaks that Sunrift has. Not only have they made it easy for me to get what I was looking for, they also gave me a good deal on it. Everyone I have dealt with there has been extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Great store and great people - I will absolutely shop here again. read more

have been shopping by SUNRIFT ADVENTURES for the last 10 years or so . I can say with all honesty , that they are pretty well equipped with whatever you need for hiking , cycling , camping , kayaking or any other outdoor activity . All the personnel that works there are all pure adrenalin-junkies . Always eager to help or advise . I have recently rented a SUP for my wife . It was mounted on my vans roof racks before I even got outside after paying the fees . Another cool part of them is that they have open days for trying out kayaks or canoes or SUP's . Where you can try out any of the latest gear for free and get 10% off if you buy anything on that day . I am so glad they are local , and relatively close enough to go for a gander at the latest gear or offers read more
