Book a Ride With These Crystal Coast Eco-Tours
Before heading out on either of these trips, be sure to toss a couple of essential items into your bag! You’ll want to bring plenty of sunscreen, polarized sunglasses, towels, and hats for everyone. Check whether or not your package includes snacks and drinks. If not, you’ll want to pack a few of those. Don’t forget your camera to snap some awesome photos, and consider getting a good pair of binoculars so that you don’t miss anything in the distance!
Sandbar Safari
Families traveling with kids ages three or older should consider booking a trip with Sandbar Safari. Each cruise, which allows up to six people, is customizable. Possible activities include hunting for shark teeth, dolphin-watching, crabbing, and catching shrimp. You’ll also explore the many different types of natural habitats found along Emerald Isle, like marshes, islands, and various waterways. The goal of each trip is to teach visitors about the incredible biodiversity of the region.
Sandbar Safari also offers excellent fishing trips! If you’re an eager angler hoping to reel in the big one, consider booking one of their charters, Captain Rob Koraly has years of experience in these waters and will give you a great advantage. He can take groups of up to four guests and provides licenses, rods and reels, tackle, and bait for each of his customers. This is an excellent option for out-of-state visitors who want to fish, but don’t want to have to fill out paperwork for a license!
Crystal Coast Ecotours
Another excellent option is Crystal Coast Ecotours! Like Sandbar Safari, their excursions are customizable. Prior to departure, you’ll consult with the staff and plan your adventure. These can include fishing, dolphin-watching, shelling, and seining. You can even visit the Shackleford Banks and watch for the famous wild horses that roam the island! Their normal trips are four or six hours long, though you can book the seven-hour tour, which finishes with a climb up the Cape Lookout Lighthouse.
