Well worth the money - Great. Both Agnes, the tour guide and the captain made the trip entertaining. Agnes had a great knowledge of the river and wildlife as well as the history of the area. Saw many alligators up close and several ospreys and their nests, as well as other birds. Well worth the money!!

A blast! - Our guide and captain were so friendly and did everything they could to make sure we had a fantastic tour and saw lots of wildlife. They warn you from the start this a GUIDED tour so they do talk the whole time but Agis was very fun and friendly, she was upbeat and kept us engaged and entertained the whole time. I would really recommend this little river tour it was relaxing and a very cool way to learn about the river and some of the history.

Local beauty! - We went on the Waccamaw River Nature and Wildlife Tour and had a wonderful experience. The trip was both relaxing and informative, offering a peaceful way to enjoy the natural beauty of the area. If you love nature, this tour is definitely worth it. It’s a serene and scenic escape. During the tour, we saw a variety of wildlife, including yellow-bellied sliders, alligators, osprey, and even an anhinga, which made the experience even more memorable. The guide was knowledgeable and shared great insight about the river and its ecosystem. Overall, it was a beautiful and enjoyable outing that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to unwind and connect with nature.
