Step Back in Time...
As you enjoy our historic tours of St. Helena Island. Our tours are narrated by entertaining, enthusiatic guides well versed in the island's rich history.
There is no better way to discover the traditions of the island's rich African American culture than with on site recollections and stories rich in cultural history.
Due to isolation from the mainland, the people of the Sea Islands developed a distinct language and culture of their own.
The roots of the Gullah speaking people have been traced back to the West coast of Africa, and much of the African "rice coast" culture survives today in the crafts (sweet grass baskets), the language (Gullah, which is still spoken by many of the native islanders), and the foods (gumbo, lowcountry boil, and hoppin n' jon).
