Don’t Miss This Winner! - This excursion was superb. Not only did we see numerous birds, plants and animals, we also learned about them. It is a small business that certainly earned my support.

Definitely worth the time! - The entire experience was wonderful. The people who work here are so warm and welcoming, the tour guide had a great personality and was knowledgeable which made the trip even better. We fed a peacock, were greeted by a beautiful dog named Bella and enjoyed the alligator statue. Don’t miss this trip!

What a great tour - What a worthwhile trip. The owners/operators were so well organised and adaptive in the midst of flooding on the river. Agnes commentary was superb and cannot recommend this tour enough. Thankyou

Unexpected Treat - Never would have thought of doing a river tour in Myrtle Beach - it was great! Both adults and kids loved it (8 and 10 year old). Super informative but not presented in a dull way at all. Lots of wildlife to see and learn about - even if you didn’t see the wildlife, the boat ride is nice by itself. We got to see THREE alligators! The people who run the operation are amazing. Really great how they try to encourage support of all locally owned businesses and give a special shout out to those who have served in the military.

AN UNFORGETTABLE, AMAZING, DELIGHTFUL, INFORMATIVE AND RELAXING ADVENTURE! - What a wonderful , delightful, and informative adventure we enjoyed on the Waccamaw River! My husband and I have vacationed at Myrtle Beach for many years enjoying the beach, the boardwalk and the exciting pavilion! But this excursion allowed us to experience another part of this beautiful area! The presenter shared so many interesting stories and educational facts about the history, wildlife, fauna, and development of the beautiful intercostal beach area. It was a relaxing afternoon that provided a favorite memory for us for a lifetime! The cruise is very applicable for all ages! We saw osprey, turtles, and alligators in their natural habitat and learned so much about them! A wonderful family adventure, fun date for couples, and a relaxing and fun time for retirees too! Don’t miss this amazing experience while you are in the area!

A fun afternoon on the river! - A fun afternoon! We arrived a little early to get snacks (water/chips, etc.) and sit out by the dock. The trip was informative and engaging. It was a hot a day but there was a nice breeze on the water. We saw egrets, turtles, a heron, and an alligator or two. Agnes (the tour guide) did a nice job. Overall, highly recommend and well worth the price.

Was our 2nd time doing this and was just as enjoyable as first. We sadly missed RIVER DOG though. He was a huge joy to have onbo - Was very calm,relaxing and informative. Owners did cruise on 08-28-24. Both were very friendly,and answered all questions. Personally,I would of like about a half hour longer. I like being on the water.
