About the Experience
Come aboard Coastal Explorations’ newest Coast Guard inspected vessel in Corolla for a fun, comfortable ride through the Currituck Sound. The 50-foot floating tiki boat offers plenty of space to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view.
This two-hour tour includes a ride toward Monkey Island, a long-forgotten island in the Currituck Sound once used by Native Americans for hunting. Today, the island serves as a bird sanctuary and is home to a variety of coastal wildlife, including bald eagles, osprey, and other soundside birds.
You never know what you may see on the water. Dolphins, wild Spanish mustangs along the shoreline, soaring birds, and beautiful sound views are all part of the adventure.
