"Awesome!
We'll be back next year to visit the Horses again."- Cliff
Sifford
Take
a 15 minute ferry ride over to
Shackleford Banks
and the southern portion
of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. There you will be introduced
to the Wild Horses of
Shackleford. This herd is believed to have
descended from Horses that were shipwrecked here roughly 500 years ago, and
still survive as one of the last isolated groups of wild horses in North
America. 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. You can spend the rest
of the day at the Seashore and catch the ferry back to Beaufort whenever you're ready, and you
can even bring your chairs and coolers! Near
