About
We do Nature & Wildlife Boat Tours on the rivers and creeks of the Waccamaw River and Intrcoastal Waterway. It is a beautiful, moss draped river system along the untouched National Wildlife Refuge. We hope to see alligator, osprey, turtles, heron, egrets and whatever Mother Nature wants to reveal for the day. This is a narrated 1.5hr boat tour. It is an educational, historical and adventurous experience. You will check-in at the gift shop/education station. There are games and chairs on the property on the river for you to enjoy while you wait to board the boat. Grab a cold drink, chips or ice cream at the Gift Shop/Snack bar. You will enter the same road as the Waccatee Zoo and follow the Waccamaw River Tours signs to the back of the property along the river. We have our own parking area here, so come join us for a Nature & Wildlife river adventure. You may walk-up but be aware seats may not be available. We also have Private Nature & Wildlife boat tours for small or large groups.

We enjoyed the tour along the Waccamaw River. It was educational, relaxing and also entertaining. It should be a must for everyone learn everything this body of water did and continues to do for the East Coast. Big shout out to the Captains of the Tour.

Highly recommend this boat tour - Rick and Betty were great hosts. Betty piloted the boat while Rick narrated along the way. They took time to look for alligators - they pointed out other wildlife (osprey and turtles) along the way. They were friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was comfortable and safe.

It was about a 25 minute drive from North Myrtle Beach but the River Tour was both enjoyable and informative at the same time. The narrator owns this small business and his wife piloted the boat. Both were excellent. We highly recommend this tour. (Be sure to make reservations ahead of time because they frequently sell out.)

Loved the tour. The timing was such that we were able to see 3 osprey nests with the mothers on the nest and even one nestling. We saw several gators and enjoyed the history and stories of the area. The staff were great and the area where the boat is docked was a beautiful, relaxing place to sit and enjoy nature, including multiple peacocks wandering around.

Just a stellar tour. Great day. Great boat. Sid (our guide) was terrific. We started a bit late (due to some clowns who couldn't show up on time). But quickly got into the tour. Lots of great wildlife viewing. And Capn Sid was EXTEMELY knowledgable about wildlife, history and the river. He didnt stop talking the whole 90 minutes. But everything he had to say was great. Cant say enough about this tour. Worth every penny.

The river cruise was very informative on a beautiful May day. The Captain and Guide both pointed out ospreys,their nests, as well as a few alligators and other nature facts. I highly recommend this tour and plan to take another tour next year..
