From the Brookgreen Gardens website:
Cruise on a 48-foot pontoon boat along ricefields now home to alligators, waterfowl, and osprey as an interpreter helps you see the distinctive landscape of the rice plantations and understand the role of enslaved Africans in the cultivation of the rice crop. Tickets are $7- adults and $4 - children in addition to the garden admission and must be purchased at the Lowcountry Center at least 10 minutes before tour time. The Springfield departs from the boat dock at the Lowcountry Center.
The ride was enjoyable and educational. Try not to sit in the back near the engine because it's harder to hear the tour guide. Keep your eyes open for gators--we saw one!
The address given below is for the entrance to Brookgreen Gardens. Coords for the ticket counter are also below.
