Overview
Remote Daufuskie Island is accessible only by boat and remains largely undeveloped, despite its fame as the setting of Pat Conroy’s novel “The Water is Wide.” A guided tour makes the trip a cinch—this package includes round-trip ferry tickets, plus transportation between island attractions such as the First African Baptist Church and Mary Fields School, all visited with the benefit of commentary from your guide.

I felt like we saw the “real” island. Loved seeing the school from the book “the water is wide” by Pat Conroy. Dafuskie Blues was wonderful and so very interesting. I loved seeing the house of one of Pat Conroys students who still lives there today and has a business on the island. Loved the story of the praise house as well.
Great vacation experience - escape from the mainland

This checked all the boxes of my vacation needs: a boat, water, history, nice people, and learning new things. Captain Andy was extremely knowledgeable and you could tell he cared about the island and the people on it. Worth every penny and the the hours involved!

The advertising with this trip is a little deceiving. It was advertised as a “ferry boat” ride to the island. It was not a ferry boat.
The captain was very knowledgeable & enjoyed the island part of the tour.

I am so glad I took this tour. Captain Andy was great with the boat and the history of the island, and answered our questions enthusiastically. Make sure you eat before taking this tour, wear bug repellent, a hat or shades, and water on the boat during the warmer months. The tour does stop at a couple of stores on the island, but you will possibly get thirsty before arriving to the island. The boat ride to the island is about 45 minutes. On the way back from island, we saw a couple of dolphins. This was a great hidden island with amazing history. You will not regret taking this tour.
Loved the tour and the stories he told to bring it to life.

The school buildings and history. We had an excellent boat captain and tour guide. He was awesome. The stops we made and the people that gave us the history were very interesting and knowledgeable.
Living History - Truly Memorable!

This tour exceeded our expectations. The knowledge of our guide and his personal relationships with the area and people on Daufuskie Island made this so much more then just information - it was living history. From the boat ride, to the golf carts on the island, to stops at local artisans, we experienced something truly special in what is clearly a very special place. Would highly recommend. Be sure and bring water, sunscreen and a hat!
