Day trip fun
Very fun family experience. The boat captain was super nice and the island excursion was great. Make sure you rent a golf cart with your ticket, you will not regret it.

Take the ferry people!
This was our 2nd time traveling to Daufuskie, and we had a great time - a nice break from the hustle/bustle of HH. The “ferry” is a large (50’), covered, stable pontoon boat and is the perfect (only), scenic way to get there. We saw lots of dolphins on both trips!

Daufuskie Excursion
xt: It was almost too hot to enjoy. The island was pretty, but we could have probably discovered more with a guide. The maps were hard to follow. Captain Bob was engaging on the trip over. I probably wouldn’t do it again, or recommend to anyone else to do.

Enjoyed the quiet Island of Daufuskie
The ferry ride to Daufuskie Island was very enjoyable, the ships crew were all very friendly and polite. We had two different crew in the am and pm and both were great! The ferry left on time in the morning and afternoon. We rented a golf cart and enjoyed the day exploring on the quiet island.

The ferry ride from...
The ferry ride from Hilton Head Island to Daufuskie Island was quick and the crew were great. Try to get back to the ferry a few minutes before they say they are leaving so everyone can leave on time. One woman strolled up at a very slow pace at the exact time we were to leave. The island is very interesting and all the shop owners and locals were very friendly. We rented a 6 seated golf cart from Daufuskie Carts. It is a 3 minute walk from the Harbor. The cart was clean and seemed new. He will give you a ride back to the harbor when you drop it off. Make sure you get coffee at the little coffee shop at the back of the school and ice cream at Scoopasaurus. We ate lunch at Frye’s Corner. It was ok. Small menu but quick service with a few picnic tables.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Daufuskie Island Daily Round Trip Ferry Tickets: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hilton Head Island.
How much does Daufuskie Island Daily Round Trip Ferry Tickets cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hilton Head Island usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Daufuskie Island Daily Round Trip Ferry Tickets take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hilton Head Island is not rushed.
Is Daufuskie Island Daily Round Trip Ferry Tickets worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 158 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hilton Head Island, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Daufuskie Island Daily Round Trip Ferry Tickets?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Daufuskie Island Daily Round Trip Ferry Tickets suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Daufuskie Island Daily Round Trip Ferry Tickets?
+
Around 55 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hilton Head Island can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hilton Head Island and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Daufuskie Island Daily Round Trip Ferry Tickets start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hilton Head Island within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hilton Head Island?
+
Hilton Head sells dolphin and sunset cruises out of Broad Creek, kayak and boat trips through Lowcountry salt marsh, bike rentals for the island trail network and shrimping demonstrations. On Outty we rank every Hilton Head Island experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2-Hour Hilton Head Guided Kayak Nature Tour, Hilton Head Island Dolphin Boat Cruise, Daufuskie Island Guided History Tour from Hilton Head. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hilton Head Island?
+
March to May and September to November, warm without peak summer crowds. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hilton Head Island?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
