Booked this through the website for Bluffton Arts and Seafood Festival and boat left from the public dock at the end of Calhoun, not sure if this was a special arrangement for the Festival but it was really convenient for us. So glad we did this, the open boat ride trough the marshes of May river was a perfect way to see the beautiful scenery and wildlife, Capt Pete was a great guide both on the water and on the island, he is so knowledgeable about the ecology and the history of the Gullah people on Daufuskie. Had thought about doing an independent tour of the island but after seeing as much as we did with Capt Pete and realizing how difficult it would be to find your way around the mostly unmarked dirt roads of the island, very glad we did the tour.
