So Glad We Made It! - Fortunately, we booked on what we found was the last excursion of the year– so glad we were able to go! The tour guide Agnes did a great job and made it fun. The information about the lake, the connecting Intercostal Canal, the ecology and the history of the area was very interesting. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

Fabulous tour - Wonderful river cruise. Our guide Agnes was very informative but also very funny. Her stories and dad jokes were spot on. But we did also learn a lot. Would thoroughly recommend this tour

A fun tour - All good. We didn’t see a lot of wildlife because of time of year. But we did see some birds and an alligator. The Captain and the guide- Sid and Agnes, were great. We learned a lot about the area and the wildlife. Agnes was very knowledgeable and displayed a good sense of humor. They made us very comfortable. It was relaxing and enjoyable.

Informative on history and nature! - Informative, very pleasant ride on the river. (Need to use up characters, so a warning an Uber ride there and back from Myrtle Beach. costs way more than the cruise.)
