Make sure you hit them up if you're ever looking to charter anything around HHI. Get well Michael, ready you see you out there next summer!

Our day on the water with captain Michael was the highlight of our trip. No one in my group had…read moreever been out fishing like this before, and they made sure we were well cared for. They were fantastic with my young daughter, who was shy and nervous about it. They just kept drawing her out and teaching her about the fish, and when we left she cried. As for the rest of us, they were kind enough to handle baiting and casting out our lines, and letting us reel in the fish when we snagged one. I could see that the boat was equipped for much more serious fishing, but they tailored the trip to our ability. The boat had ample shaded space, so we didn't fry out there either. We caught mostly sharks, and almost snagged one cobia. That would have been very cool, because when you dock they will take it to the skull creek boathouse to prepare for your dinner. All in all we had a great day, and I think everyone who goes to hilton head should go out with Papa Bear.

David guided and drove our small group tour through the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks…read morein a comfortable Mercedes van during June of this year (2023). David welcomed the group on arrival, explained the proposed plans, assured us that he would tailor activities to our needs, abilities and interests and then invited us to share about ourselves to facilitate bonding. He then established a WhatsApp group to communicate daily plans and keep the group connected. David is an excellent driver, who alerts the group whenever there are points of interest or wildlife to be seen. He ensures you get great photographs, while keeping you safe. David has years of hiking experiences and is very knowledgeable. He has a calm approach to planning and problem solving and engages with all members of the group individually. He adapts the program to the conditions and the group, and was a great support when my husband hurt his knee. I would highly recommend David's tours to people of all ages!

Very nice place. My wife and I stopped for dinner at Halyards since it was on our list of places…read morethat we wanted to try. We arrived for an early dinner and we're greeted by the hostess and bartender. Everyone was very welcoming and they offered us seating anywhere in the bar area. Even though we didn't have a reservation, we were offered seating in the dining room. Once we were seated, we ordered wine and the Apple, Pecan, and goat cheese salad (split in two plates). The server brought us both a very nice portion and we thoroughly enjoyed the salad as it was fresh and very tasty. My wife ordered the Shrimp and Grits which they are known for as being notable and I ordered the Seafood Pot Pie. The shrimp and grits were excellent with a heap of blackened shrimp over a flavorful Gouda course grits. The shrimp were cooked just right. The seafood pot pie had the blue crab bisque as the base and loaded with shrimp, white fish, salmon, and small scallops. It was topped with a puffed pastry square. The pot pie was also an excellent dish that I would definitely recommend. Next time I may come back for the crab bisque as an appetizer. This is a very nice place, with great atmosphere, and very friendly service. I would give it a 5.0 and recommend you try it.

The trails are well maintained and well marked with blazes. The trails take you through a wealth of biological diversity from pine forests to uplands that hug Black Creek and other smaller creeks.

The parking lot does not have good reception so better to purchase in advance. Parts of the trail is shaded but a lot of it is in the sun so be aware if visiting during the hotter months.

I stopped here in my way to st Simon's because I ate here many times when I lived in Brunswick…read more I got a table quickly which was a surprise because they were very busy. I debated between shrimp and oysters and the buffet. I chose the buffet because the menu indicated there was lots of different seafood the buffet and I was hoping for some vegetables too. Big mistake. There was no oysters, no scallops and only one vegetable, green beans. There was a small salad bar, so I did have some of that. The best thing was the fried shrimp and the shrimp in the shrimp boil. The deviled crab was not good.Sigh, I paid a huge amount of money and was so disappointed. The interior has not been updated at all, which was a surprise as popular as it is. Learned a hard lesson....look at the buffet before you order it.

There are public restrooms at the brick building across the sidewalk on the side of the picnic tables towards the parking. For public restrooms they're not bad! A quick straight stroll (2 blocks or so) to get ice cream and go out to eat or shop around! Great location.
