Watching 🐬s is something everyone should experience in the Outer Banks!
If you already know when you’ll be down in 2026, we recommend booking your dolphin tour now and securing a sunset boat ride with the funnest mammals in the sea. Sail with Captain Johnny, then enjoy being docked back in Manteo—right beside Poor Richard’s Sandwich Shop for the perfect post-boat bite.
