THE ONLY GUIDED TOUR ON THE
ISLAND! |
Take
a boat tour that leaves from Beaufort NC. It starts with a 15 minute ferry 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.
