Q&A

Q: Is there a weight or age limit for kids on the ferry?

A: There’s no strict weight limit, but kids should be able to sit safely in their own seats. Since the ferry ride is pretty smooth, it’s comfortable for all ages! Just be sure to keep an eye on younger kids, as the deck can be a bit slippery at times.

Q: What happens if it rains? Do they cancel the ferry?

A: The ferry runs in light rain but may cancel during severe weather. If it gets canceled, they usually allow you to reschedule for a later date. Just keep an eye on the weather forecast before your trip!

Q: What's the best time to go for dolphin sightings?

A: Morning trips usually have the best dolphin sightings. The water's calmer and cooler, plus you get the chance to see them jumping around. We saw quite a few on our morning ride last week!

Thinking of gifting the Hilton Head to Daufuskie Ferry ride!

Hey everyone! I'm looking at getting the Hilton Head to Daufuskie Island ferry round trip for my parents as a gift. They love the beach and the idea of spotting dolphins sounds awesome! Just wondering if it’s as smooth as they say? Also, any tips for making the day extra special once they get to Daufuskie?

Just did the ferry ride, and it was fantastic!

OMG, we just did the Hilton Head to Daufuskie ferry ride last weekend and loved every second! The 30-minute ride was so scenic, and we saw dolphins jumping! The crew was super friendly too. Perfect for our family day out! Highly recommend it if you want something fun and easy to do.
