So incredible!!
2 Hour – Sunset Dolphin Tour on August 22, 2026 • 2 adults
I went in fully expecting to see nothing, especially given how affordable this was to book. They gave us a really cool history lesson on the harbor where you get on the boat, which was very spacious and comfortable. When we went out into the sound we found a few dolphins pretty quickly! Somehow the captain ended up finding an entire pod of dolphins with a baby! The whole experience was so incredible and a great boat ride. Plus a perfect view of the sunset!!

Amazing all around!
2 Hour – Sunset Dolphin Tour on July 14, 2026 • 5 adults
This was such a fun excursion! I was hosting myself and 4 other girls for a bachelorette week this week in the Outer Banks and our bride loves dolphins so this was a perfect outing for us. Our captain had a lot of good information about the area and we got plenty of angles and views to see the dolphins. it was an amazing experience and we got to experience the sunset tour which is SO worth it if you’re debating it! the price for 5 of us was great as well, 10/10 best experience!

We'll be sure to pass along your kind words to our captain. It means a lot to know you enjoyed learning about the area and that everyone felt the tour was such a great value.

This was one of the greatest experience we had with our family. The captain went above and beyond to find the dolphins and in the first 10 min we spotted them until the end of two hours. Once a life experience you will have! Do not miss it!
