Outer Banks Ocean Kayak Tours

Outer Banks Ocean Kayak Tours

The best way to watch the sun come up over the Atlantic Ocean… kayaking on the Outer Banks Ocean Kayak Tour.

Check out our new sun rise and sunset ocean kayak tours. We shove off right from the beach in Kitty Hawk and paddle looking for dolphins, schools of fish, and the view of the Barrier Islands from a kayak. We use unsinkable Ocean Kayaks for these kayak tours that handle better in the open ocean environment. You will enjoy the unique perspective this gives you from the outside looking in towards the land. You must have had prior kayaking experience to take this tour, and of course the ocean has to cooperate for availability.

Night Kayak Tours

Night Kayak Tours

Our Night Kayak Tours are an exciting night paddle to check out the water under the cover of night!

Kayaking during a full moon is a must do for any self-respecting paddler. This 1.5-2 hour excursion is a great way to enjoy the coastal environments, observe bioluminescence (glowing fluorescent bacteria in the water!!!!) and howl at the moon on a summer evening on the Outer Banks. Full Moon and Bioluminescence Kayak Tours are one or the other, an NOT both. If there is a full moon it is too bright to observe the bioluminescence in the water, and if there is no moon, it is dark enough to observe the bioluminescence. Obviously due to Mother Nature’s lunar cycles this tour is only offered during a full moon and the summer months when the water temperature is warm enough to support the growth of the bacteria-producing bioluminescence. These tours are a really cool experience being on the water at dark, and begin at 8:30 PM. The water is calmer, the mood mellower, and vide is worth taking in while visiting the Outer Banks. We offer these tours at the following locations:
