Sunrise Tour
This trip is for the true early birds in the crowd. During the summer it’s a great way to beat the heat. Your trip will start out with a safety briefing and any necessary training. The emphasis on this trip is to explore the marsh and sound side coast line while enjoying the waking moments of this unique ecosystem. Departure times are set to coincide with sunrise. Trip length is approximately 2 hours.
10:00am Tour
This is a great tour to learn the history and nature of Ocracoke. We’ll depart from our location on Silver Lake and learn about the history of Ocracoke and Portsmouth Island as we paddle to Springer’s Point. You’ll learn about the pirate Blackbeard and paddle in the area that was the site of his final battle. The marsh areas we’ll explore are home to many types of birds and creatures. Trip length is approximately 2 hours.
Sunset Tour
What a great way to end your day and work up a little appetite for Dinner. You’ll experience the history of Ocracoke and visit the tidal marshes adjacent to our village. A great tour for watching the Ibis, Egret, and other birds heading in for the evening and of course we’ll catch an awesome sunset on the way back in. Trip length approximately 2 hours. Departure is two hours before sunset.
Full Moon Tour
On two nights each month we offer a tour that combines the history and nature of Ocracoke with a unique night paddle under a full moon. On the way out you’ll experience the history of Ocracoke and a beautiful sound side sunset. Once in the tidal marsh we’ll look for flounder and other fish & shellfish in the shallow waters. Trip length is approximately 2 hours.
