Fun Little Adventure while visiting Savannah. Took a Ferry from Bull River Marina and wisked off the Daufuski Island for a full day of history and fun. Saw lots of dolphins ? on the way as well. Golf cart transportation is a must during your visit, so make sure you reserve one! Lots of places to visit. Great hang out spot on the island with food and drinks and live music. Lots of quaint shopping. Definitely have to spend a full day there or plan a trip to stay on the island for a little vayca!

Great island to visit with so much History. You have to take a Ferry to island which is about a 45 minute ride there. We spent 6 hours on island. There are a few different Ferry’s you can use and cost is about $50-$70 a person (round trip). If you do go make sure to rent a golf cart it will be worth it!

Enjoyable Way to spend a Day. We thoroughly enjoyed the boat ride over to the island. This was not the usual boat they use for the trip but it served the purpose. It was very scenic. The weather in a.m. and during day was sunny so we had wonderful views along the trip. It took about 45 minutes. We had opted for the tour with guide. You can rent a golf cart and do your own tour. We had time for a tasty lunch at the Old Daufuskie Crab House. Don't expect a fancy place but do expect excellent seafood. We sat outside under umbrellas. It was delightful. We understand that on certain times of the week they have live music. We then met our guide at General Store. The General Store had a lot of basics plus some souvenirs. Wish they had some of the Gullah related arts & crafts. They did have some beautiful t-shirts. The tour guide was very friendly & informative. The speaker system on bus was excellent. We visited a number of locations which I so enjoyed. The Gullah history is interesting as well as the history of the island. You also got to see how the island is doing today. We got to see the old school house & the Mary Fields School along with a beautiful old church. Bloody Point Lighthouse tour of grounds, history (nice film) & info on the very tiny winery was enjoyable. We had a couple of people who wanted to see the pottery & iron fish gallery but that was not included. We got back with minutes to spare for our rainy trip back to Hilton Head. We did get to see 3 Dolphin on way back. Trip back uncomfortable & cold due to the wind and rain & the boat is not enclosed (remember this boat temporary). Pick a nice day without rain predictions. Enjoyed the people who ran the tour. All were friendly & information. The sound system on the boat they were using could not be heard if you were in the back of boat by motors. Go & enjoy being taken back in time.
