Great day on Daufuskie - Easy reservation process. Polite and knowledgeable office staff at the marina. Steve was our captain and he was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and stopped to let this beautiful dolphin come right to the boat! The golf cart was waiting for us on Daufuskie and we enjoyed some local lunch and drinks mid afternoon with enough time to go out exploring again. Our captain for our trip back to HH was also super friendly and knew the water well. I would use this company again!

Great experience - Wonderful trip! Our captain, Arden, was very informative and pointed out all the wildlife, history, landmarks etc. on our boat ride over and back. The self- guided tour on Daufuski island via golf cart was a blast! We went to different beaches, museums, historic buildings and points of interest at out own pace. We only wish we had more time!

Duafuskie Island is... - Duafuskie Island is another of the 'Friendly Islands'. Everyone waves as they scoot by on their golf carts.
We were lucky, a community Christmas Fair was taking place at the old elementary school/art studio. Lots of vendors ~ a good day!

Daufuski day trip - I’m glad we went “off season”…. Small quaint quiet little island with several historic buildings that we were able to go into, read about and contemplate on what it must have been like for the Gullah Geeche 50+ years ago. We ate at 2 different places but wouldn’t recommend eating there. If you want a quiet place to explore for sure rent a golf cart so you can see everything. Boat ride there was 30 minutes and an easy ride for anyone who tends to get motion sickness. 4 hours on the island was perfect

Daufuskie Day: #Perfect - We left on time and had an entire day to explore Daufuskie by golf cart. Arrangements were seamless and we saw everything historical, met hospitable people, and enjoyed the timelessness of Daufuskie. Our return trip on the larger ferry landed us at Broad Creek at dusk. So ready to do this all over!

Great trip. Arden did a nice job of explaining the area on the ferry over to the island. - Self guided golf cart tour using the provided map. Some suggestions site are no longer in existence. Interesting stories about the island including the now closed golf resort (Melrose). A beautiful drive on the road back to this area.

Perfect day - The boat trip out there was beautiful saw dolphins and got a narrated sight seeing tour. The island was amazing there's something for everyone. We did the historcal tour, got coffee and delicious scones at school grounds coffee, enjoyed the distillery drinks plus patio with a side of lunch, walked the beach and ended near the docks for drinks,snacks and live entertainment. Way back there were drinks on the boat and we even spotted a sea turtle. The crew was amazing, knowledgeable and friendly. Perfect day!

Daufuskie tour - Boat/ferry ride to Daufuskie was good. Saw a couple dolphins and Captain Tim slowed down so we could watch them. Daufuskie Island golf cart self guided tour was a big disappointment. Map was poor. Many streets had no signs, most of the attractions were closed. “Shelling beach” had next to no shells. I wouldn’t recommend this tour, at least in October, maybe summer is better

A little misleading description. - Don’t expect the boat in the tour picture in October. No double decker with bathroom & bar like some reviewers mention. No interaction with boat operator. No mention of swarms of biting gnats at the docks on Daufuskie.
Definitely fun driving the golf carts around. Historic stop were neat. Only 3 or 4 places for food and drinks. Fun day but the write-up is a little misleading.
