Once on Daufuskie, you'll get on golf carts and take a tour of the historic, undeveloped side of the island. We stop at all of the significant historic sites and artisan shops of Daufuskie.

Our guide was personable. His knowledge of the waters and Dafuskie was quite impressive. It was a cold day on the water, but Captain Pete was prepared with blankets for everyone on board.
