Gullah Tour of Daufuskie Island

Join us for a memorable and educational Gullah tour on Daufuskie Island.  Experience the island through the eyes of Sallie Ann Robinson, a sixth-generation Gullah born on Daufuskie who has dedicated herself to chronicling and sharing Gullah recipes, dialect, and folklore.  Her life and work as a chef, author, and tour master have been showcased in National Geographic, Southern Living, Bon Appetit, Garden & Gun, and The South Magazine, among other publications.  She has also appeared on the Food Network, the Travel Channel, Georgia Public Broadcasting, and WSAV’s The Bridge.

For this adventure, we will meet at Landings Harbor at 8:30 AM to board a boat for travel directly to Daufuskie Island.  Upon arrival at Daufuskie, we will be greeted by Sallie Ann and then get on her small air-conditioned passenger bus for an authentic and personalized three-hour Gullah tour (approximately 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM).  During the tour, we will visit and learn about many historical Gullah landmarks as well as experience the natural beauty and peacefulness of Daufuskie.  Feel free to bring snacks since we won’t eat lunch until after the tour is over.

For lunch, you have the option to eat at the Daufuskie Crab Company near the boat docks or bring your own lunch.  After lunch, we will then board our boat and return back to Landings Harbor no later than 5:00 PM.

Due to bus size, there is 14-person limit for this trip.  If we have enough interest, we will keep a wait list and schedule a second trip for those who could not get into this one.

Cost per person is $100 ($70 for the tour and $30 for boat fuel).  Lunch is an additional personal cost if you choose to eat at the restaurant.  THIS TRIP IS SOLD OUT!

NOTE:  Money raised through the tour is used by the non-profit Daufuskie Island Gullah Heritage Society to help restore old Gullah homes and clean up and maintain Gullah cemeteries on Daufuskie Island.
