Best part was the adventure of exploring the island and having the beach to a small crowd- felt like our own private beach! There was a Scoopasaurus ice cream place we enjoyed on the way back to the marina. Wear your bathing suit- the only restrooms are at the marina. Highly recommended!

I coordinated a trip to Daufuskie Island with a group of friends who had never visited before…read more While we enjoyed parts of the experience, there were several issues that impacted our overall day. First, the ferry staff were wonderful. The captain and mate were both friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and they truly made the boat ride enjoyable. However, the website information regarding ferry times was very confusing. Based on the schedule posted online, we believed we would have from 1:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. on the island, as it advertised: 9AM to 4PM 11AM to 6PM 1PM to 8PM *Seasonally 7 Hour Round Trip Unfortunately, we later learned we actually needed to be back at the dock by 7:15 p.m. This significantly reduced the amount of time we expected to have on the island. Several other guests on our boat also seemed confused about connections and return times, so clearer communication on the website would be very helpful. The most disappointing part of the trip was the golf cart rental. Our cart only traveled around 12 mph, making it difficult to fully explore the island within the limited time available. We were constantly being passed by other carts all day long, and the slow speed prevented us from seeing as much as we had planned. I would strongly encourage the golf cart company to better inspect, maintain, and update their carts so visitors can fully enjoy the island experience. Daufuskie itself is beautiful, and the ferry crew provided excellent customer service, but clearer scheduling information and better-maintained golf carts would greatly improve the overall experience.

4th of July Pre booked online…read more So hubby is so excited with living here that he arranges for us to go out on a two person boat. Being it is a holiday we get there early and have breakfast within walking distance so we can get parking. Must have been our lucky day as we got the best parking space in the lot. We were instructed to arrive 45 minutes before the tour. Since we were there and checked in early as was the other group of six we left actually a few minutes early. The weather was perfect and we had on plenty of sunscreen. JD led the boats to different spots on the island so that we were able to see Dolphins. I was surprised that in the middle of the day that we were able to see so many. JD was kind and took pictures and sent them to everyone through What's App. What a great way to spend the day as well learn the island. The entire length of the trip was 2 1/2 hours. Definitely a must do on anyone visiting the Island. Just be warned you will get wet so plan accordingly. You are given a small cooler with ice and bottle waters

We were celebrating…read moreour "baby moon", and Captain Boo helped craft a great experience for us, taking care to focus on a smooth ride for a pregnant mama! Captain Boo took us on a lovely cruise down the river, stopping to show us the sights and at a sandbar where we hopped out and hunted for shark's teeth. Along the way, he gave us some fun pieces of local history and made us feel at home. It was windy that day, and he brought along extra jackets, blankets, and hats to make us feel comfortable. It felt like a day out on a boat with a friend - we would absolutely recommend traveling with Captain Boo and Outside to anyone staying at Palmetto Bluff or in the area!

Forget about how fun the boats alone are...Bailey gave us clear instructions on use and made sure that even our youngest driver was comfortable on the water. Beyond that, Bailey made sure to point out different wildlife, track dolphins with us, tour the island highlights and took SO many great photos that he shared after our day. Please thank Bailey and keep up the FUN. This is such a great activity for literally all ages!

Took the family out for a morning of fun on the Catamarans. It's was an absolute blast!…read moreRight out of the Marina we saw dolphin. Then we went into the low country...it was beautiful and plenty to see. Got to see a huge eagles nest and the eagles were flying high and hunting. The Catamarans had 30hp on them and they scooted across the flat water all in a very safe and comfortable fashion. We had Ben as a guide and he was very good and made a solid point to stop and speak about the areas we were exploring. He stopped at Dolphin Head Beach which was fine..but I would have preferred to spend that time cruising in the water. It's a well run organization that knows the area. I will Plan on doing this trip again when we return.

Had a good time on the Savannah Riverboat Cruise…read more Honestly, the best part was being able to get out on the water, walk around the boat, and see Savannah from a different perspective. There was some history mixed in along the way, which was interesting, and the whole experience was relaxing. The food was probably the weakest part for me. It was served buffet style with fried chicken, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, plus fruit. It wasn't bad, but it was all pretty lukewarm and just didn't leave much of an impression. That said, I don't think people are booking this for the food anyway. You're booking it for the views, the boat, and the experience. We had fun, enjoyed the ride, and I'm glad we did it.

Overrated. Upon…read morearrival, the ticket-taker did not greet us. He simply said, "Tickets." No, "Welcome aboard!", no "Glad you're cruising with us." and no "We're happy to see you. Where are you traveling from?" Nothing. No welcome or warm greeting. The next person wanted us to take a picture. For money, no doubt. No way. We're already not wanted, why would you want a picture? I've already decided I'm not spending any more money after being greeted in that fashion. No drinks, no snacks, and no souvenirs. The narrator was knowledgeable, had a few jokes, and was tipped appropriately. The paddlers do not run. Two stars for a knowledgeable narrator and clean restrooms. Otherwise, this riverboat cruise is a big pass.

Mermaid Nina's friend, Pinky Plankton, guided us on a lovely boat ride to search for Nina. Pinky made the ride fun - interacting with the children, and educated us all about how to protect our oceans. The boat ride was an hour and fifteen minutes. The perfect amount of time for young children. The boat is comfortable and holds approximately 20 to 25 people. Once Nina was found, she stayed in character the entire time. Even when the evil Professor Al G tried to kidnap her. Nina explained how to protect the ocean and encouraged questions from children and adults too. When I was scheduling this excursion, I thought it was a little pricey, but after the experience was over (and watching how much fun my daughter had) I changed my mind and realized it was worth every penny! We took this boat ride to meet Nina over a month ago and my daughter is still talking about it! Highly recommend!

The tour begins with safety instructions. Then, Ryan takes you to many very interesting places in the area and is quite knowledgeable about the sea life and the land around. He gave us exciting History and facts. Ryan pointed out dolphins and told us cool facts. He knew the birds we saw too. We even saw a shark. Ryan gave us an hour on Vanishing Island. That was a great place to be. Just knowing that high tide would put the island completely underwater was a little weird. Ryan is an expert captain. He has years of experience. I recommend that when in Hilton Head, you take a ride on his boat.
