What To Expect

Daufuskie Island

It begins with a boat ride from Shelter Cove Marina to the back side of Daufuskie Island. The ride is an important part of the tour! Along the way we will stop for dolphins and other wildlife, plus view and discuss the sites on Daufuskie and the neighboring islands that are best seen from the water. 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.

Outside Hilton Head was a great choice to tour Daufuskie Island. From start to finish we were taken care of . Capt. Pete was especially knowledgeable about the history of the island and the coastal habitat. (We were so very glad we did not book with a company that dropped us off with a map and a golf cart!) Having Captain Pete guide us during our tour was priceless.
