Daufuskie Island Tour

Pat Conroy’s breakthrough memoir, The Water Is Wide, was inspired by his transformative year teaching on Daufuskie Island. This intimate and immersive six-hour experience offers you a rare, insider’s look at the island that shaped Pat's work. After departing by boat from Bluffton, your tour will be led by Pat's former student—now celebrated Gullah chef and author—Sallie Ann Robinson, along with rich historical and personal insights from educator and Daufuskie Daze author Jim Alberto, who taught at the same Daufuskie Island school immediately after Pat. Includes round-trip water taxi and private guided island tour. Lunch on the island is on your own (guests may choose to dine at Old Daufuskie Crab Company).
