Daufuskie Island Guided History Tour from Hilton Head

Overview
Tucked between Hilton Head Island and Savannah, and accessible only by boat, Daufuskie Island is a real gem. This 4-hour Daufuskie Island trip provides a glimpse into a fascinating chapter of Lowcountry history on the undeveloped side of the island. Meet local artisans and learn the rich history of the Native Americans, European settlers, the cotton trade, and the Gullah culture. We encourage you to wear weather appropriate clothing, and bring water, snacks, and sunscreen.

Please be aware: Our tour is completely structured and does not include a stop for lunch.

Our guide, Andy, could not have given us a better tour not only of Daufuskie but of the life and history of the area. The island itself was a combination of history, culture, lifestyle and lush vegetation. Itā€™s not a tour for children, though. This is a must do for anyone who wants to spend an afternoon discovering and learning.

We appreciate the feedback! Captain Andy certainly knows a great deal about both the low country water ways and the history of Daufuskie Island. Sounds like you had a fun and educational experience with us. We look forward to getting outside with you again!

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour. Captain Andy was amazing and so knowledgeable not only about Daufuskie but about Hilton Head Island in general. Loved his stories and humor. Saw many dolphins on way to island. Jean was also our boat with another couple going on kayak tour. She was very knowledgeable also. Ask for Captain Andy!

Be sure to get Captain Pete. He is one of the best guides we've ever had. Very extensive knowledge of Daufuskie, the Gullah history and Pat Conroy.
