Quick Details
Kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP) along the beautiful marshes of Kitty Hawk Maritime Forrest or Roanoke Island on our OBX Sunset Kayak Tour. These beautiful areas of the Outer Banks are known for their abundance of coastal birds, including Osprey, King Fisher, and Egrets. We can often see river otters playing just in front of our kayaks. You’ll hear entertaining stories about pirates and how some of our towns got their strange names.
Our Sunset Kayak Tours are offered daily during the warmer summer months. Please note the start times for our sunset kayak tours will change throughout the summer months based on sunset time. During the summer months, sunset on the Outer Banks happens around 8 pm. We’ll email you with the exact start time if it’s different from the time posted. *Please note: As with all outdoor activities, our kayak tours are subject to weather-related changes. We recommend making reservations early on in your vacation so we can move your tour to another date if needed.

We use sit-on-top-style hybrid kayaks for people with limited mobility, making it easier for you to get in and out. SUPs (Stand-Up Paddle Boards) are also available on this tour.
