    My husband and I went 4 wheeling at the park. We were immediately greeted upon arrival. Our guide provided lockers for personal items so we didn't have to worry about losing them. We received great instructions and the ride was fantastic. We rode through mud and sand so we definitely got dirty. The website suggests bringing a change of clothes/shoes, that is sound advice. They were booked for the other activities, but we did get to see some alligators. I definitely recommend them and would love to go back again.

    Our family of 10 took the eco boat tour and it was fantastic. Our tour guide (I can’t remember her name I’m so sorry lol) was extremely friendly, funny, and knowledgeable about the wildlife and the plants in the swamp. She even stopped the boat and put in reverse a few times so we could get closer looks of the cranes, turtles, and the harmless water snake that we saw. The boat ride is very slow and relaxing so it’s great for all ages and really gives you a chance to see everything in the swamp. This is definitely a must do experience that’s a little bit different than your average trip to the beach.

    An Unforgettable Birthday Adventure at Shallotte River Swamp Park I recently celebrated my birthday at the Shallotte River Swamp Park with my family, and it was an experience we'll cherish forever. We embarked on a thrilling journey through the park's offerings, and it turned out to be an unforgettable adventure that brought us closer as a family. Our first adventure was the Adventure park, which provided us with an exciting challenge amidst the beautiful natural surroundings. Scaling obstacles and navigating through the treetops was a unique bonding experience for our family. Employees, Scott and Chris were incredibly helpful, guiding us through the course and ensuring our safety throughout the adventure. Their patience and encouragement made the experience even more enjoyable. The next adventure at the park was the zip lining course, and it was an absolute blast. The adrenaline rush combined with the breathtaking views of the swamp made for an exhilarating experience. What made it even more special was the assistance we received from the fantastic employees, Jack and Mary. Their expertise and friendliness put us at ease, making the zip lining adventure not only thrilling but also safe and enjoyable for all of us. The following day, we returned to the park for the ATV tour, and it was an absolute blast. Exploring the wilderness on the ATVs was an adrenaline-pumping experience, and it offered a different perspective of the park's natural beauty. I highly recommend this adventure to anyone visiting Shallotte River Swamp Park; it's an opportunity you don't want to miss. In conclusion, our visit to Shallotte River Swamp Park was an incredible birthday celebration filled with excitement, adventure, and family bonding. The variety of activities, from zip lining to the Adventure park to the ATV tour, ensured that there was something for everyone to enjoy. The dedicated employees, Jack, Mary, Scott, Chris and Lindsey played a significant role in making our visit memorable. If you're seeking an unforgettable adventure and a chance to strengthen the bonds within your family, Shallotte River Swamp Park is the perfect destination. We can't wait to return for more thrilling experiences in the future!

    My hubby and I decided to go zip lining at The Swamp Park to celebrate our anniversary. Best decision ever!!! Our two guides, Travis and Jessie, were absolutely awesome! They made us feel so welcome and comfortable and were full of fun facts and entertaining stories. They let us go at our own pace and were key to us having such a wonderful time. I highly recommend this experience!!

    My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our ecotour of the swamp.Scott is an amazing guide! His knowledge of the swamp and nature in general is impressive. My hobby is nature photography and I enjoyed swapping stories with him. My friend, not as well-versed regarding nature, was full of questions which Scott cheerfully and knowledgeably answered. We even had a stowaway…a little anole came along for the ride! Scott’s humor and knowledge made this tour very memorable. Hang on to him…he is a gem!! We also enjoyed seeing the gators and walking along the nature path. Scott and a young lady (did not get her name) were very pleasant and helpful while I was looking for souvenirs. Everyone is very friendly and definitely made the visit memorable. This old lady will be back!

    What an amazing experience on the ATV Tour at The Swamp Park today with my son and I!!! Many thanks to our tour guide extraordinaire Scott who really helped make the trip even better. Scott was cool as a cucumber when we got briefly stuck on a stump crossing one of many huge mud pits along the trail. When my ATV wouldn’t restart after our break at the halfway point, Scott again jumped into action and called in for a replacement ATV which wasn’t needed after all because he got us going again virtually right away. Really can’t say enough positive things about Scott in particular or The Swamp Park staff in general. This was our 2nd time doing this ATV Tour and like the 1st time, when my son and I are smiling nonstop for an hour and a half, does it really get any better than that?!! Highly recommend The Swamp Park and Scott as a guide. Scott is the consummate professional and made our whole weekend. We’ll be back again for sure!

    Awesome! I took my 6&7 yr olds and everyone really enjoyed it. We didn’t see many animals but our guide was friendly, funny, smart, and thoughtful. She had so many swamp tidbits! 10/10 recommend.

    Had a great time on the ATV trail! Chris was our guide, he did a fantastic job! Highly recommend going, it is a blast. Seeing the alligators was included in our price, crazy thing to do but super interesting! They also provide lockers for whatever you need! All of the staff was super sweet and helpful!

    Even though it was a very rainy day, that could not change how beautiful this place is. as the small boat moved farther from the dock, the sounds of society disappeared. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. When she wasn't speaking the peace, and quite was almost deafening. The natural beauty was stunning. The staff were all very friendly. It certainly was an enjoyable day for my wife and I. We are looking forward to visiting again, seeing the resident gators again as well.

    My partner set up a zipline outing for my birthday, and while fearful and hesitant at first, we left wishing we could do it all over again. Chris and Jack were our guides for the experience and we couldn’t have asked for a better duo. They were very lighthearted, funny, informative, and very patient as we got adjusted to the heights for the first time, and got over our fears. We also appreciated their thoroughness in guiding us through the safety rules and regulations to ensure we had a smooth, fun, but safe experience. When going through the different ziplines, we felt that the patience, comfort and confidence they provided throughout the process made us let go of our fear and really take in what nature had to offer. What was also great was spending time learning a multitude of things along the way. Every time we got a chance to stop at the next checkpoint we learned a fun fact about nature and about their experiences with animals that would appear during a lot of the zip lining tours. The whole process also made us feel quite safe - We had our harness, the zipline trolley/break, and two additional lines with clips for safety. We never touched our lines, and let Chris and Jack control those for safety reasons and guide us through the experience. Part of our package also included photos, and Jack led the front with taking them. He captured tons of moments in those photos, and also some of the funny conversations and encounters with nature we had along the way. To anyone who is scared of heights, or hesitant to try this experience, I HIGHLY recommend trying this out, and asking for Chris and Jack. They made the zipline tour memorable, and we were left with quite a lot of stories to tell about the whole journey. I would give this experience, and the whole park 100 stars if possible. Upon leaving everyone was so nice, wished me Happy Birthday, and guided us to the walking trail so we could see some alligators before leaving. Highly recommend this spot and we’ll be coming again.
