New Perspectives in the Outer Banks Sky

OBX Aerial Tours

Chances are dad has visited the Outer Banks from North to South and passed on the beach’s secrets to his beloved children. But has he ever seen the OBX waters from above? An aerial view is something everyone deserves to see at least once on an Outer Banks vacation. Give dad an experience he won’t forget with an aerial tour of the beautiful Outer Banks.

Gone Fishin’ with Dad

Spend a day on the Atlantic with the sun on your face and a fishing rod in your hand. Fishing charters flank the Outer Banks marinas waiting to venture into the Gulf Stream waters every day. Book an Outer Banks fishing charter trip through Wild Card Fishing Charters.

A more budget-friendly option is to go fishing at the famous Jeanette’s Pier located in Nags Head, NC. Jennette’s Pier is full service with a bath house and tackle shop. Cool off inside and learn with the interactive science exhibits or browse the gift shop.

Explore the OBX Alligator River

Navigate the Alligator River in a kayak with an experienced tour guide leading the way. The Alligator River is part of the National Wildlife Refuge, home to the endangered red wolves , alligators and black bears. These tours provide an opportunity to see a rare part of the Outer Banks that many locals and visitors don’t typically see!

Family Outer Banks Crabbing Competition

You vs. Dad, who will catch the most crabs?! Most of the local Outer Banks Restaurants (such as the Beachside Bistro in Kill Devil Hills!) feature  crab dishes on their menus for a reason, they’re delicious! If you prefer a challenge, you can catch and prepare your own crabs. If you’re a vegetarian, it’s still exciting to try and catch catch crabs like a local. Crabbing is an easy, inexpensive activity that is entertaining and exciting when you are successful! Visit one of the numerous local Outer Banks tackle shops for the few supplies needed and head out to the sound. Read more about what’s required and how to crab here!
