Two standout tours make the most of your time in Myrtle Beach. The Huntington Beach State Park Segway excursion, a nature-packed 2 hours, lets you glide effortlessly through wetlands while spotting local wildlife — look for those prehistoric-looking alligators and majestic loggerhead turtles. A hands-on 2-hour surf lesson gets you into the waves with quality gear and expert instruction, perfect whether you’re a first-timer or need a skills refresh.
Both tours hit the sweet spot: they’re intimate, well-organized, and showcase what makes this coast special. I especially love the Segway tour’s small groups and the surf lesson’s personalized attention.
