Boat ride was great. Saw dolphins as well! Daufuskie Island was interesting, but hard to navigate to all the sights. Markers and more signs directing to important places to see would help out tremendously. Staff at both kiosk and on board boat were top notch!

We had targeted a trip to Daufuski Island wile on vacation in Hilton Head. Vagabond Cruise offered very convenient departure and return times as well as an appropriate allotted time to visit the entire island. This island, just a short boat trip from Harbour Town, is steeped in a rich and fascinating history. The crew were all fantastic and all quite professional and very personable making the visit much more enjoyable. Vagabond offers several trip options (e.g. Savannah. Evening Cruise, etc.). I'm sure they are all quite pleasant and fun filled trips. I do highly recommend you consider them the next time you plan an adventure.

Ok. Trip was o short with less than 3 hours to tour the island. Golf carts were VERY expensive for such a short time. Poor Signage on the island caused the majority of carts to become lost thus seeing only trees and dirt roads.

Things to note: 3 hours to me was just shy of enough time to explore the island- kind of feels rushed. Also the tour should really just include the $90 cost for the golf cart rental- without it the visit would be a waste! The island is too big to be able to effectively explore on foot! Anywho- otherwise loved it! Also it is alarming when the booze cruise boaters roll in, so beware!

The ferry service was really nice! I will say there is not much to do on dafauskie island. We had a three hour golf cart but only used it for 2 hours because there was literally nothing to do. About half of the residence are very run down. Think walking dead scenes and you’re there. We will not return.

The only positive was the bar on the dock with music…the rest of the visit was not as promised. No winery…no lighthouse. Terrible map. Poor directional signs. I would not recommend for anyone

The ferry ride and bar at the dock were the highlights of this trip. Very disappointing…no winery…no lighthouse. Not as advertised.

The boat ride was very nice. Very informative along the way. Same on the way back. Very friendly staff. The island experience was a little less than anticipated. The map of the island was a little off. Had to rent a golf cart or you won’t be able to see much of the island

Very friendly and helpful Captain and crew. They took our rental bikes from Seapines over for free. The ride from the Freeport Dock/General Store area over to the Beach and back was about 10 miles round trip. Some of that was on Sand roads most was on asphalt. It was a pretty good workout. We were a little pressed for time trying to do a good tour of the sites on bikes in 3 hours.

Loved the boat ride over to Daufuskie Island. We took the shrimp boat “Tammy Jane.” The crew was great. We saw dolphins on the way over and back, which was a bonus. We weren’t impressed with Daufuskie. It is just a run down little island. Instead go sailing! We did that a few years ago with Vagabond and it was fantastic!
