Celebrate the Bluffton Seafood & Arts Festival with a one-of-a-kind journey to historic Daufuskie Island—accessible only by boat and steeped in Lowcountry charm.
Your adventure begins with a remarkable cruise through winding backwater creeks, where bottlenose dolphins play, ospreys and herons soar, and sweeping vistas reveal the natural beauty of the Lowcountry. Guided by our USCG Licensed Captain and interpretive guide, this scenic passage sets the stage for an unforgettable day.
Once ashore, explore Daufuskie’s rich past and vibrant artisan community. Visit historic landmarks such as the First Union African Baptist Church, the Praise House, and the Mary Field School (where Pat Conroy once taught). Step inside the studios of local artisans to discover pottery, painting, woodworking, and other traditional crafts.
Along the way, you’ll learn about the traditions of the Gullah people, whose culture, cuisine, and artistry remain at the heart of the Lowcountry.
This special festival edition blends history, art, wildlife, and natural beauty, offering an experience that connects the region’s past with its present-day celebration of seafood and creativity.
