Yes, this tour was relaxing, but at 2 1/2 hours there was not much too see along the banks of the river other than trees, tall grasses, and ospreys. We saw a few former plantation homes from the river and they were okay. On a positive note, the guide was knowledgeable about local lore in the area and you can... More

We took a ride onWaccamaw Lady Plantation Tour. The guide was very inforamative about the area. She talked about the eco system along the river as it was hundreds of years ago and today. It was the first time that I had heard the explanation of the Gullah culture in the many trips that I have taken to the Tidewater... More

And will definitely go again! Captain Joseph and staff did an excellent job of making us feel welcome & safe! The tour boat was spacious and comfortable. The "tour" was incredible! Such lovely scenery that we would never have had the chance to see otherwise! Our tour guide was very well informed and gave us great info on each of... More

If you're looking for something different, the Plantation River Tours Waccamaw River Airboat tour is worth checking out. The ride is reasonably tame and not really a "thrill" ride, but it's a fun way to see a part of the Myrtle Beach area that most visitors never see. The boat is comfortable, and the captain is friendly and knowledgeable. My... More

Nice calming waters which allowed for a beautiful scentic tour. We did not get to see any animals except for a few birds. Wouldn't recommend doing this tour in the extreme heat. The first half of the tour was full of history, but on the loop back we passed the same things so it was a bit slow. Good way... More

My husband and father and I went on the Waccamaw Lady tour on Wednesday 7/11/12. We had no trouble finding the location and there is a nice cool area indoors to wait until loading time. The boat is comfortable enough but be prepared to sweat because its summer and the boat isnt always moving fast enough to create a breeze.... More

We took this boat cruise because they advertised it as a river cruise that would let you see Southern plantations from the river. Well, it took a whole hour on the boat before we even saw a plantation and the plantations we did see were small and hard to see from the river. Although the woman who did the commentary... More

While planning our vacation to MB, we ran across the website for Plantation River Tours and immediately wanted to go. We called the day before and the day of the tour just to make sure that the boat was still going out due to rain. The people that we spoke to on the phone were extremely helpful and professional.

We drove down to Plantation River Tours hoping to take an airboat ride. They do not mention on their website that you need a minimum of 4 people but no more than 6 to take the tour. So our family of three was left out.
