How do we travel to tour sites?
Tour guests are responsible for their own transportation via non-commercial vehicle (e.g., sedan, SUV, minivan). Tour sites are located throughout Georgetown County, and some sites are accessed by dirt roads with low-hanging limbs or other hazards. Due to the risk of damage to roads and trees, commercial vehicles (such as buses or vans with capacity for more than 8 passengers) are expressly prohibited. Guests must use low-profile, non-commercial vehicles such as sedans or SUVs. Minivans are permitted only if the vehicle capacity does not exceed eight (8) passengers; any vehicle with seating capacity for more than eight (8) passengers is expressly prohibited.
