You'll board a ferry from Beaufort enroute to Cape Lookout National Seashore.
The Shackleford Wild Horse and Shelling Safari has been licensed by the U.S. Park Service for nearly 15 years to conduct tours on the island. And many folks return year after year for this fun family outing.
The Shackleford Wild Horse and Shelling Safari leaves from Grayden Paul Park at 702 Front St., Beaufort, NC 28516. You’ll reserve your tour online and this means you don’t have to go wait in line at the ferry ticket booth. Just meet at the Gazebo. A few things to know in advance: you need to make a reservation for this safari in order to guarantee your passage both ways on the ferry. The minimum time you can stay on the island is two hours. There are no facilities, and you need bring water because there are no concession sales. For more information and to book your tour, head over to the official website.
