Including Roanoke Island Dolphin Cruises
Roanoke Island celebrates its maritime culture, and chartering boats or boarding a boat tour are two primary things to do in Manteo, NC, that give people a taste of it. A variety of Manteo and Wanchese boat cruises take guests out on the water. Take a guided dolphin cruise in the sound around Roanoke Island. See all of the sound – right up to the Oregon Inlet – on a half-day cruise. Take in the views of purple martins on evenings in the late summer. And for a fun activity on a special occasion, kick back and watch the sun sink into the sound on a sunset cruise.
