THE ONLY GUIDED TOUR ON THE
ISLAND! |
Take
a 15 minute ferry boat ride over to the pristine Outer Banks Island of Shackleford Banks,
which is part of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. There you will be introduced
to the Wild Horses of Shackleford Banks.
This free roaming herd is believed to have
descended from Horses that were brought here roughly 400 years ago, and
still survive as one of the last isolated groups of wild horses in the US. You
will help your guide track the horses and see first hand the fascinating
behavior of horses in the wild, a
rare experience with nature that you'll never forget. Bring your
camera for pictures that will forever remind you of this amazing place and
its fascinating inhabitants.
After the tour, you will be directed to
one of the best shelling beaches in all of North Carolina where you can
spend some time on your own shelling your way down the beach, with the
Cape Lookout Lighthouse off in the distance. Shackleford is well known as one of the best shelling
destinations on the East Coast. Among
other things, you can find Conchs, Whelks, Queen’s Helmets, Scotch
Bonnets, Olive Shells, Sand Dollars, and more.

Premier Guided
Tour of the Island ! |
|
Join your guide for an enlightening adventure into the past.
Hundreds of years of amazing history have been made in
and around this unique coastal refuge, once called the
finest natural harbor from Maine to Florida by famed
explorer Giovanni de Verrazanno.
Early explorers, rugged islanders, whalers, pirates,
military, and even scientists have lived, worked, and played
on this beautiful outer
banks island.
The Cape Lookout National Seashore is also home to the
venerable Cape Lookout Lighthouse, one of the few operating
lighthouses that is accessible to the public by boat only.
168 feet
tall, and a reputation to match, the Cape Lookout
Lighthouse stands as a beacon of warning that alerts
mariners to the dreaded shoals that have earned this coast
the feared moniker, the Graveyard of the Atlantic.
You'll experience the
Historic Village where rugged families formed a community
that lived on the Island for generations. And, one of
the first Coast Guard stations anywhere in the country is a
proud reminder of the many brave souls who risked their
lives to help endangered mariners who became victims of
these dangerous waters.
Despite the dedication of the lighthouse keepers and
Life Savers over the years, many a vessel has come to ruin
on these shores, and ghostly stories still abound that tell
the tale of the unfortunate souls who still walk among us.
After the tour. You’ll be able to spend as much time
as you like exploring the island and relaxing on the
beautiful beach before returning on the ferry. |

An
enlightening experience! |
