Start your Crystal Coast adventure with a scenic trip exploring some of the Southern Outer Banks’ best beaches, courtesy of an expedition provided by Crystal Coast Ecotours. This experienced, educational and all-around fun company treats passengers to a bounty of natural beauty through cruises that venture past lighthouses, dolphins, wild horses, and everything in between

Tours take place on board the “Lucky Dog,” a 20’ foot long center console vessel, and once on board, visitors will have a wealth of adventures to choose from. There are special tours that are designed for clamming, shelling, crabbing, birdwatching, wild horse watching, fishing, cast netting, and dolphin watching, and each expedition travels to a unique and remote corner of the Crystal Coast shoreline. From the miles-long Cape Lookout National Seashore to the Shackleford Banks, there’s a lot of sand to cover, and passengers can step off the boat to explore the undeveloped and pristine beaches with ease. With both 4-hour and 7-hour tours available, patrons will have plenty of time to relax and enjoy the view en route, as well as have some fun time on the shoreline. Spearheaded by Captain Jess, who has a 30-year career as a marine biologist, passengers of all ages will quickly discover that it’s easy to learn something new and make unforgettable memories while still having a blast.
