Playful dolphins are some of the most intriguing coastal creatures. If you want to see wild dolphins in their natural habitat in the sound, take a tour on Harbor Star. Based at Wanchese Marina, the wide and stable 50-foot Harbor Star runs two-hour cruises multiple times a day, including sunset. A good thing about this boat is its wide canopy that provides a shady retreat from the summer sun! Cost is $20 for adults and $15 for kids ages 12 and younger (infants ride free). Look for the boat at the docks by The Landing Grill, and be sure to enjoy a meal or snack there if you're hungry.
