The two RV Gypsies took a 1-1/2-hour narrated Nature
and Wildlife boat tour of Myrtle Beach’s beautiful cypress-lined
and moss-draped via the Intracoastal Waterway and its swamps. It was
not their first swamp boat ride (in various places) nor their only time
seeing alligators of course, but it was something to do in the area.
Nothing seen here was new to the two RV Gypsies, but still, it was a
nice enough tour. But they would not do it again. The cost for the two
RV Gypsies on this date was $67.73.

Gypsies were the first ones to arrive for the boat ride, so Lee relaxed
outside in a chair while Karen Duquette wandered around the small area
taking photographs of herself, Lee and the flowers. |

The two RV Gypsies
(and plenty of other guests that made a full boat) boarded the boat. The
two RV Gypsies chose a seat in the back of the boat, which was a good
choice because that is where the guide stood to narrate the trip, while
his female assistant drove the boat. The guide told about the history
of these rivers, the Waccamaw area, and its wildlife along the untouched
National Wildlife Refuge. |

The moss-lined river was peaceful in its natural setting. Several
large osprey nests were along the river with the birds in the nests.

Karen Duquette got a great video
of this alligator as it launched itself very quickly into the water.,
But she does not know how to post videos here. |
