Pirates of Hilton Head

3 Best Day Trips from Charleston, South Carolina | Condé Nast Traveler

"Technically, you're on a boat touring the Calibogue Sound, but as far as the kids can tell, you're on a grand pirate adventure with some live action role play thrown in. Rogue pirate route this is not—it's all well-organized and choreographed, with a high-energy guide who can maintain childlike levels of energy. Accompanying adults are welcome to take in the passing views of the Hilton Head coast, assuming they're not enthralled with the firing of water cannons and the fending off of bad guys. Expect your kid to come off the boat answering only to her pirate name, and with a few new (temporary) tattoos." - Paul Oswell
