Rain or shine this tour was fine! - What a great time we had discovering the island. It was like traveling back in time. The people were great and Arden, our captain was very thoughtful and offered lots of insights as we crossed the water. I don’t think we learned as much as we would have had we taken a tour but we sure had fun, in spite of the rain!

The captain and his mate... - The captain and his mate were a good team! Very interactive with quests and punctual. I will admit the ride was pretty rough given state of the roads on the island.

An Absolute Pleasure! - This experience was great, from booking it online easily to the trip itself! We had traveled to Dafuskie two years ago but left on a larger boat and from a much busier marina. Broad Creek Marina is easy to get to, less congested, and has plenty of parking. The crew was welcoming and clearly articulated safety measures. The boat ride to Dafuskie was approximately 35 minutes. The golf cart rental was easy and we enjoyed being able to create our own adventure. The boat left on time and the ride was comfortable. I highly recommend Island Head and will travel with them again when we return!

Reliable Transport to Daufuskie - The boat departed on time in both directions. Boats seemed very safe, and the crew was personable. A good way to get to Daufuskie Island. One thing: the return time was earlier than advertised on the website, but we were fine with returning to HH Island earlier.
