2-Hour Guided Segway Tour of Huntington Beach State Park in Myrtle Beach
Description
Come and join us for a 2-Hour Guided Segway Tour at one of the Grand Strand’s most beautiful wetland and wildlife preserves, Huntington Beach State Park in Myrtle Beach. Nature lovers will enjoy the park’s Environmental Education Center for the chance to see Loggerhead Turtles and other endangered wildlife species up close. The park’s freshwater lake along the causeway is a sure-fire place to see Alligators basking in the sun, a variety of bird species, and maybe even a mink or two. Known for its natural beauty, Huntington Beach State Park was the former winter home of Anna Hyatt and Archer Huntington, sculptress and philanthropist, who left the park and adjacent Brookgreen Gardens as their legacy. Make sure to leave enough time in your day to also visit Atalaya, the picturesque, Moorish-style castle which was their residence and sculpting studios. This tour is around two hours in length with training. Still plenty of time to enjoy the beach and relax before or after your tour.

Bob was patient during the Segway training of the Seniors and Teens in our party. He made sure all members were caught up stopping every 50 yards or so. We learned so much about the eccentric owners of the Atalaya Castle and the economy of the South in the 1930s onward, alligators, egretsthat we saw along the causeway. Bob was customer-focuswd, offering to take family pictures and videos! The only suggestion is to make it a 3-hour Segway tour and include the Brookgreen Gardens.
The tour is great, and informative. The guide, I think was named Bob, is a different story. There were 5 people in our group. Every single person in the group felt like he was a smart a$$, and arrogant. He gave great information about the park, but we just couldn't get past his slick comments.
The meeting place is at a state park and you have to pay per person (not per vehicle) to park there. That was a surprise to us. Other than that the tour was amazing, the guide was very knowledgeable of local history, good sense of humor, and personable. Riding the segway is very fun. Even with no experience you can pick it up in a couple minutes. They training they offer before the tour is very thorough. Great group activity. We saw wildlife including an alligator!
We had a great experience. We were nervous about learning to ride the Segway, but our guide Bob did an awesome job getting us comfortable. Saw lots of alligators, and learned some local history. We would absolutely do this again!
We had a fantastic tour with an attentive and knowledgeable guide. The Segway training was clear and thorough, making us feel comfortable before heading out on the tour. During the trip, we saw a huge alligator and plenty of other wildlife. It was an amazing experience that we truly appreciated and highly recommend!
Our guide Bob did an excellent job of keeping us safe and giving us good information. Highly recommend this company.
Bob is a great guide. This was our first time riding a segway and he made sure we were comfortable handling the segway before starting the tour. I'd highly recommend Bob!
It was so amazing and we actually saw an alligator cross the road. The guide was a wealth of knowledge and very pleasant.
Bob is a great tour guide. Our tour was very enjoyable and filled with information pertaining to the history about Huntington beach state park and the wildlife we observed. There is ample time to walk about the park and explore on your own.
Great way to see and learn about the history of the park! Bob was our guide and he was informative and friendly. He taught us how to ride the Segway, took pics and videos of all the groups, and was fun to be around. Highly recommend this activity! We saw some gators, so that was awesome too :)
