4 trips daily to Daufuskie Island. All trips are fully narrated

dolphin watches.

the ‘Island of Mystique’.
• Once on the island, you can take our two-hour historic bus
tour given by one of the locals and considered the island’s
best-narrated tour.
• Perhaps you would prefer to self-tour by renting a golf cart for
3 or 6 hours (beach comb, look for arrowheads, search for old
relics, shark’s teeth, etc. on one of the most beautiful beach-
es on the eastern seaboard.)
• Visit the Freeport General Store & The Old Daufuskie Crab
Company right where the boat docks at the boat landing at
Freeport Marina. Indoor and outdoor dining. Gullah lunch
buffet, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. A full menu that
includes the famous Daufuskie Deviled Crab, as well as
