Where to Experience Hilton Head Island History and Gullah Culture

"The Sea Islands buzz with Gullah culture, which was derived from the culture of enslaved West Africans, many of whom picked cotton in South Carolina and Georgia. Gullah Heritage Trail Tours bring guests to old Gullah family compounds, their old one-room schoolhouse, plantation ruins, and the historic marker of the first freedom village." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Pirates of Hilton Head

Tourist attraction · Hilton Head Island

Pirates of Hilton Head offers the best pirate cruise for kids on Hilton Head Island. The action is non-stop as we transform the kids into our Pirate Crew. The adventure starts at the dock where each little mate gets to put on some pirate gear, gets a pirate tattoo and learns to talk like a pirate. Then we jump onboard our pirate ship cause we've got a map that leads to a sunken treasure chest, but Stinky Pete knows about it too and he stole the key. The race is on to find Stinky Pete, and get the key back before he can steal the treasure for himself. Once we find him our new Crew is going to have to man the water cannons, and blast the stink right off of Pete until he gives us the key! We always beat Stinky Pete and every little pirate always gets a handful of treasure. We celebrate the victory with a limbo then it's back to the dock. All told it's about an hour and a half of great fun for the kids. We look forward to having you aboard. This is one adventure they'll never forget
