With Waccamaw River Tours, you explore by boat the beautiful cypress-lined Waccamaw River and the Intracoastal Waterway. Come with us and explore the back creeks and swamps in search of birds and other wildlife that inhabit these southern waters within the untouched National Wildlife Refuge. The majesty of the moss-lined river is breathtaking and the peacefulness of this natural area is appealing to all. Large osprey nests can be seen along the river and at certain times of the year we are lucky enough to see the babies take their first flights. You may also see herons, egrets, cormorants, ducks, turtles, alligators and much more. Join us today for a Waccamaw River Tour adventure!

5.00The tour was very enjoyable. Price was reasonable and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The Waccamaw River has many nooks and crannies that were explored, leading to a nice peaceful day on the water. They don't pack the tour boat, so plenty of room to move around.
Had a great time!

5.00Very relaxed trip to see wildlife. Saw several Osprey in their nests, and several flying around. Handful of alligators and other assorted birds. Guide was good in providing background history for the area. Worth the money.
Good bang for your buck

4.00Very interesting tour on the inner-coastal waterway. Beautiful birds and other wildlife seen on the tour. The Tupelo honey is delish!
Do this visit with the intercoastal waterway!

5.00It can be humid in the summer, so dress appropriately and bring plenty of water. The boat has a top over it so there is shade. Your tour guide is amazing, so knowledgeable, a great speaker. Listen carefully as there is a tons to learn, and the tour guide makes recommendations in the area that sound fun to do also!!There was plenty of wild life and nature to see! The tour takes about an hour and a half. It is very peaceful, cruising on the water. This was a fun adventure that you could probably do again, and it would be different due to the season, and whatever mother nature decides to share! There is a gift shop on site that you will probably want to buy South Carolina gold rice, and Tupelo honey, if it is available! This is a gem of an excursion to do!
