A fun family adventure The crew was wonderful and so much fun! We had a group of 7 and enjoyed the ride and the time on the 2 islands
Captain Summer snd crew were great! The trip was beautiful and just long enough. Bring a shell bag because you will find many beautiful ones,
For those with movement challenges you should know that there are ramps and steps involved. The crew was very helpful and everyone was able to participate . Highly recommend
Fun experience! The only thing I wish it were longer! Found some big shells and cute crabs in the water and beach. The guides and Koda were awesome!
Our afternoon of island hopping was absolutely perfect! Captain Summer & Anna made it so fun with their music, fun facts and obvious love for being on the water! Highly recommend this tour for a relaxing time exploring around Wrightsville Beach.
It was a great cruise and the staff was very nice. Make sure you take sunscreen to protect your skin there isn't shade on the islands.
It was such a pleasant experience. The ride was so refreshing. The islands were also beautiful. The best part were the mates were so very friendly. Georgia was so sweet and made us all feel like we’ve known each other for years. Greatest time.
Had a great time. Our captain Summer and her second man mate Georgia were wonderful! They work together well as a team
So much fun and very peaceful. It was easy find the meeting location as it is near the beach. Highly recommended!
Great experience and informative. The captain was nice and very laid back. Nothing felt rushed. Would recommend.
An excellent experience; the service was very friendly. I loved it—it’s perfect, and everything is very organized.
Lovely experience make sure you bring water shoes and swim wear so you can take a dip while looking for shells
Very cool to get out on the water! The crew was lovely. I think the price is quite steep for what the experience is. You go to two islands and explore them on your own.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for your feedback and for the kind comments about our crew.
Our excursion is a self-guided island-hopping adventure, and visiting two islands is exactly the experience described in our tour listing. The crew mentions fun facts about the islands, but the island itself has signs and information providing a self guided tour. We work hard to ensure guests have a clear understanding of the itinerary and pricing before booking.
We appreciate you joining us and are glad you enjoyed your time.
The captain and Evelyn were wonderful! Both ladies were full of knowledge and very helpful with any questions. Enjoyed our excursion and got to see some dolphins on our way back as a bonus!
Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The tour was very nice, and we got a good number of steps in!
Captain Summer and Evelyn were great guides. We had a wonderful time—the cruise is just the right amount of time. Good to see houses from the water and spend time on a boat.
Very comfortable and sturdy boat. Our host Amy and captain Rick were wonderful and very hospitable and accommodating. It’s the perfect amount of time and I found many beautiful shells !
We had a blast and really enjoyed our time on the islands and the boat ride too! kids are 2 and 4, they loved the water
It was not strenuous, but had to be able to walk across Masonboro Island. Rick, Amy, and Rusty (dog) were a great crew. It was a nice relaxing cruise filled with Dolphin sittings. We will try another one soon.
Very smooth on the water. Guides very knowledgeable. Nice to visit to two different islands. Check weather before going - if questionable, contact the captain.
Great captain and first mate. A nice ride without many waves. My sister can get sea sick and did not on this trip. Also, there is bathroom on the boat.
Very relaxing boat ride with 2 stops at
different islands. Captain and crew were very friendly. Provided beverages for the guests.
Cruise was great and the staff were amazing. They really took care of us and we got to see some dolphins.
Best day experience ever with Captain Summer and Amy 👌🏽🚤🏖️🌊♥️🔥 Highly recommend this experience!
It was so relaxing and fun. Our captain and the other woman running the boat were so friendly and informative. The islands were so fun to walk around and absolutely beautiful.
Great service and excellent crew! Perfect family activity! Boat was clean and played fun music as well.
Nice tour, friendly! Nice afternoon! We got to 2 islands and got to get out and check them out. They explained a little bit about the islands and pointed us to some good scenery
Bring beach shoes and wear shorts. Crew did a great job and Rusty was a great addition to the ride. Would definitely do this again.
Great time! The weather was perfect, spent a good amount of time on each island looking for shells and taking pictures. There was a guest onboard who did quick watercolors and painted me, which made my Bach weekend even that much more special!
10/10 would recommend this cruise
We had a really nice time on this excursion. Just the right amount of time and a great day on the water. Learned about some of the NC
islands. We got to “money island” and got to walk around or we could have had a dip in the water. Staff were great and informative, even about local restaurants!!
