What to expect
Numerous uninhabited islands dot the waters around Wrightsville Beach, and during this 2-hour adventure cruise, you can explore at least one of them. Start at Money Island, where notorious pirate Captain Kidd is said to have buried his treasure and home to the area’s largest sand dune—perfect for sliding down—then cruise toward Masonboro Island, the longest undisturbed barrier island ecosystem in southern North Carolina. If time allows, hop off and traverse from marsh to oceanside in search of giant sea shells. On your return to the docks, keep an eye out for dolphins and other marine life.
Stop At:
• Masonboro Island Reserve, Wilmington, NC

Able to see different places only accessible by boat. Enjoyed the boat ride, the islands, friendly staff. Also, being able to find shells that weren't available on the busy beaches.

So thoughtful since we were celebrating our 40th anniversary. Everyone was...
