Imagine what your vacation would be like with Outer Banks kayaking and canoeing: You round the corner of marsh, finding yourself face to face with a blue heron. As you drift softly you set your paddle down and pick up your camera to snap a quick picture of the encounter. The heron flies away after you take the photo, and you paddle on to see what other types of wildlife. Now that you’re staring dreamily at your computer screen with thoughts of kayaking and canoeing excursions running through your mind, it’s time to make this idea a very real part of your vacation. Plenty of Outer Banks surf shops and water adventure companies offering kayak and canoe rentals, so you can rent a couple of vessels for you and your entourage to spend hours exploring watery areas. Many of the places that rent kayaks and canoes also lead guided tours and safaris that take you throughout the Outer Banks where you can marvel at turtles, alligators (yep!), tons of birds, flutterbys and all sorts of other critters. Whether you’re looking for a tranquil paddle trip on the Pamlico Sound or a thrilling day of ocean wave riding, check out the listing of Outer Banks kayaking and canoeing to start your next adventure.
