About this tour
Paddle through the Waccamaw River’s quiet waterways on a guided kayak tour, with a 48-acre private island waiting to explore. Along the way, learn about the local wildlife, trees, and plants that shape this river landscape. Each outing brings its own surprises: seasonal changes and unpredictable nature mean no two tours are quite alike.
Keep watch for turtles, fish, nonvenomous water snakes, squirrels, cranes, herons, kites, egrets, pileated woodpeckers, baby toads, dragonflies, and lizards. Deer, bald eagles, wild hogs, river otters, muskrats, beavers, alligators, and black bears are possible, though rarely seen. Your professional guide provides a kayak, paddle, and life jacket, so you can focus on the scenery and the wildlife around you.
Spend two hours discovering the Waccamaw River by kayak and see what the day’s journey reveals.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.71 from 24 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Myrtle Beach
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.8.
