A Great Step into the Past - Great historical tour. We learned a lot and found the property so interesting and beautiful. It is definitely not your usual experience at Hilton Head but one that is very worthwhile and unique

Informative tour by a great guide. - We had a small group, and our guide had several shady benches picked out for us to sit on during informative history, animal. and plant talks. That meant a lot to us since we are elderly. He had a good sense of humor and time went by fast.

Great spring getaway - Beautiful, mostly quiet beaches. I’m sure it’s much wilder in the summer. You can definitely ride a bicycle on the beach at low tide. Will very likely return next spring

Very informative - Very nice tour. It started inside the museum and was very informative. Next we went out side on the pier and saw the marsh close up and learned some things about the ecosystems.

Gullah bus tour - Excellent! - The Gullah bus tour with Emory was excellent! We’ve been visiting Hilton Head for years and finally had time to learn about the history of the island. He helped us envision what HHI looked like as he was growing up there. Told us stories of the farmers and families that lived there, and some still do. Great way to learn about HHI before tourism took over. Highly recommend!

Nice intro to Hilton Head - We had limited time on Hilton Head between overnight stays in Beaufort SC and Savannah GA. Decided to visit the Coastal Discovery Museum for an overview of life in Hilton Head and we signed up for the Honey Horn guided tour. Our volunteer docent was Ken.
Overall, this was a good experience; the museum has some great exhibits (including a temporary art exhibit on coral) and the grounds are large and diverse. Ken was knowledgeable.
However, our 60-minute tour turned into a 2-hour tour thanks to a larger-than-expected crowd (while we signed up weeks in advance, others were able to join at the very last minute even though the tour had technically already reached capacity). In the end, I'm not sure we learned anything via the guided tour that was different from a self-guided tour, and it certainly took longer.
I would recommend looking at some of the other tours if you'll be in the area; the Gullah tour in particular sounded intriguing. And definitely see the grounds, but there's plenty of signage if you want to do it on your own.
Also I REALLY wish they had a small cafe on-site for lunch...even just some minimal take-out (salads, sandwiches). That would have been a great way to end our tour, and a good way for this site to make some additional $$ as well!
