Traveler reviews
Almost there!
We didn’t get to go on our trip be very sure of the marina you are going to. We went to the wrong one. We arrived early and had just figured out we were at the wrong place when we got a call from our tour guide asking where we were. We explained they said sorry we can’t wait for you to get here which we completely understood and expected. The gal said we could reschedule we said great and called the main office where we found we could reschedule and pay for the trip again. We thought the guide was saying we could reschedule because it was a mistake. Office gal was not very helpful just said we had to pay another $270.00 to go on the next trip. When we tried to explain talking with guide the office gal hung up. So the trip was missed and the experience ended with unhappy customers which I am sure happens quite often to them.
Wonderful experience
My husband and I chose the 8:00 am tour, so the heat was not overwhelming. .Captain Kelly Pierce was our guide. He was tremendous! Such a wealth of knowledge and love for the island! We were extremely pleased with the tour. I highly recommend! Just want to add that my husband has mobility and vision issues. Very little walking was involved - mainly just on the boat ramp and from the golf cart into the buildings. Perfect for us. Shade was available on the boat if you didn’t want to sit in the sun.
Fun time and great learning experience
Fantastic experience! Captain Kelly is awesome!
Daufuskie Island Trip
Wonderful trip over to the island. We saw dolphins and manatees. We visited a soap maker and an indigo maker who explained their crafts.
Great Tour
The tour exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide, Pippi, was outstanding. She was very knowledgeable and was enthusiastic about the tour. She even went above and beyond to rescue a hat and to make sure that we got outstanding videos of the dolphins.
