An unforgettable and peaceful experience! - We had such a fantastic time with Waccamaw River Tours during our Myrtle Beach vacation. The tour was a perfect mix of education and relaxation — our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the area's history, but also funny, friendly, and engaging with everyone on board. It was so refreshing to spend time out in nature, away from the busyness of daily life, cruising the scenic Waccamaw River and Intracoastal Waterway. We saw tons of wildlife — beautiful birds, turtles, and even several alligators! It's great for families - our kid absolutely loved it. The location was super convenient to get to, especially if you're staying in the Myrtle Beach or Surfside Beach area. This is a wonderful opportunity to support a local small business and walk away with an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Peaceful and Relaxing Excursion - Very professional and well organized excursion. Boat was clean. Sit on the right side of the boat for best views, my experience. The narrator was very clear when she spoke and very knowledgeable.

Wondering and Informative - Me and my hubby did this tour while in MB for his birthday. We really enjoyed it from the wildlife we saw to the education and history. Agnes was our tour guide and especially appreciated her highlighting the history and contributions the Gullah culture and Sweetgrass. I just so happen to be wearing my Sweetgrass bracelet at the time. Highly recommend this tour!

What gators?? - The owner is a nice guy and had several interesting stories of the river and it's animals. However after a short time it get pretty boring looking for a turtle or the missing alligators. Not worth the time or money.
