Quick Details
Enjoy a Shackleford Banks Sunset Cruise with Dolphin Sightings
Enjoy a breathtaking narrated scenic cruise on one of our 49-passenger catamarans en route to Shackleford Banks. After a thirty-minute narrated scenic cruise to Shackleford Banks, you are dropped off to enjoy an hour of free time, where you can look for the herd of more than 110 wild Banker horses that call the island home. These horses are possibly descendants of horses from Spanish shipwrecks from over 500 years ago.
Seashell collectors can also search for some of the most beautiful shells imaginable on the shores of Shackleford Banks.
You’ll then re-board the ferry for the return ride for even more beautiful sunset views of Shackleford Banks and the beautiful waters that surround us. While cruising, be on the lookout for dolphins swimming alongside the boat. Reservations are required. Although infants (ages 2 & under) are free, they must still be included in your reservation.
