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.

This was such a cool experience, and Doreen was amazing! I can't say enough good things about her energy and story-telling ability. Daufuskie was so interesting - truly a best-kept secret. I was ill-prepared for the bumpy boat ride to and from (esp. at 6 months pregnant), but Doreen took good care of all aboard. Bring lots of sunscreen any time of year you go, and stay well-hydrated. I'll be better prepared next time :) Thank you for such a great tour!

Four stars because of captain Doreen but Not For The orthopedically Challenged. The boat that is used to get you from Hilton head to Daufuskie is not much better off than the small fishing boat in which I imagine the old man and the sea to be wrestling the giant fish! You sit on a bench facing one another, have no back support whatsoever, and are Bouncing up and down like a tiny toddler on grandpaā€™s knee! But captain Doreen saves This tour by making it really interesting and being so passionate and reverent about the topic. Daufuskie is Indeed a unique place, almost kind of eerie. If you areBut not for the orthopedically challenged looking to pass for hours in Hilton head and not on the verge of a hip replacement, go for it!
