                                                                                         KAYAK ECO-TOURS
                                                  
No kayaking experience necessary!

We love to kayak.  We offer kayak tours all year long as long as the weather permits.  Tours are 2 1/2 hours long and include all necessary kayak gear and a guide.  We have double and single kayaks available.   We have several tours to choose from.  

                                  

                                    CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY TOUR:
                                   
$29 adult/$15 child (under 12 yrs. old and shares a double kayak w/adult)
 

This tour is geared toward children but adults enjoy it just as much. The salt marshes of the outer banks are home to an astonishing variety of plants and animals. We try to get a closer look at some of the bird life we'll bring a seine net, dip nets, bucket and catch some of the marsh creatures. These can include many varieties of fish, crabs, shrimp, clams, oysters, mussels and more. We'll take a look, learn a little about their life and then let them go. Great wet fun on a hot afternoon. This tour is available Monday - Saturday.  Morning and afternoon tours.  Location:   Leaves from  Roanoke Island, Nags Head area and Cape Hatteras National Seashore (Oregon Inlet Marina) only. 

 

        WILDLIFE ECO-TOUR:
        
$29 adult/$15 child (under 12 yrs. old and shares a double kayak w/adult)

This tour is geared more toward adults but children are welcome. The Outer Banks is home to many types of wildlife. During this tour we'll search for the abundance of birds such as osprey, herons, egrets, ducks and other birds. Along the way you'll find out about the natural history of the Outer Banks and its plants and animals. This tour is available 7 days a week. Morning and afternoon tours.   Locations vary around Roanoke Island and Nag Head according to wind directions. 

                                                    
   ALLIGATOR RIVER NATIONAL WILDLIFE TOUR:
                                   $35 adult/$20 child (under 12 yrs old and shares a double kayak with adult)

Explore the wilder side of the Outer Banks.  This 3 hour tour to Alligator River NWR winds through the pocosin and woods of one of the most unusual areas around.  We look for the American Alligator which live in these creeks.  The water is a beautiful black from the cypress trees which reflects the surrounding trees and plants for stunning pictures.  Songbirds, the occasional black bear or bobcat and of course the reptiles are what we look and listen for.  You won't believe you are only 15 minutes from the beach!

BIOLUMINESCENCE  TOUR:

$29 adult/$15 child (under 12 yrs old and shares a double kayak w/adult)

During the warm summer months and the dark of the new moon, the waters of the salt marshes around the outer banks come alive with bioluminescence. Every movement in the water produces light! From the swirl of your paddle or the trail of a school of fish (which look like blue-green underwater bottle rockets).  No need to travel to the Caribbean to see this phenomenon. The tour lasts 2 to 2.5 hours and is a must see.  We supply the lights and cylume sticks.  Location:  Nags Head area.

FULL MOON TOURS:

$29 adult/$15 child (under 12 yrs. old and shares a double kayak w/adult)

Peacefull,  tranquil and beautiful, our full moon tours are all of these.  One of our favorite tours, we meet right before sunset, get our gear and head out to watch the sunset and the moon rise.  You will be amazed at what you see, even at night:  birds, fish, bioluminescent jellyfish help to light our way.  This tour is about 2 hours long.

 

    SUNSET TOUR:
$29 adult/$15 child (under 12 yrs. old and shares a double kayak w/adult)

There is no better way to end the day and enjoy the sunset than to do it on the water.  We head out before sunset so we are in place to enjoy the view.  We return just before dark.  Bring your own beverage or snack and relax, island style.  Available most evenings.  Locations vary according to wind directions.
