Parasailing

Soar above the Roanoke Sound and the Currituck Sound while enjoying breathtaking bird’s eye views of the Outer Banks. We offer 2 locations for parasailing, Duck and the Historic Manteo Waterfront. The views of the ocean, Roanoke Sound, Southern Shores, the barrier islands, Corolla Lighthouse, Bodie Lighthouse and marshes in between are fantastic.

The crew has over 30+ years of parasailing experience, with USCG licensed captains, CPR certified mates, and all have passed an intensive parasail training designed for your safety. You can be assured you will have the safest, most enjoyable parasailing air adventure possible.

The boats are located at the same location where you check in and watch a safety video–no cumbersome shuttle boats used and no more driving to meet the boat at another location after check in! Our Duck location boat carries a maximum of 6 passengers per parasailing excursion, so you won’t have to wait long for your turn.

Stand up paddleboarding or SUP, is both a fun and relaxing way to play on the water. Only a small amount of equipment is required to get into the sport – in fact, all you really need is a board and a paddle. SUP has been around for a little while, but has only recently really taken hold and become a mainstream watersports activity.

Corolla - Pine Island Audubon Sanctuary Walking Tour

Step off the beach and into a quieter, wilder side of the Outer Banks as we head into the woods for a refreshing nature escape. This peaceful walk takes you into the Donal C. O’Brien, Jr. Sanctuary in Corolla—one of the last remaining stretches of untouched land in the northeastern Outer Banks.

 

Spanning more than 2,600 acres, this remarkable preserve protects a diverse landscape of marshes, upland maritime forest, and sandy beaches, offering a glimpse of the Outer Banks as it once was. Carefully managed by the National Audubon Society, the sanctuary plays a vital role in the North Atlantic flyway, serving as a crucial resting and feeding stop for migratory birds traveling the East Coast.

 

As we follow the nature trail, you’ll be introduced to the many bird species, wildlife, and plant life that call this sanctuary home—along with the seasonal feathered visitors that pass through each year. Keep an eye out for bird activity, animal tracks, and the rich variety of trees and native plants that thrive here. This guided walk covers approximately two miles and is perfect for nature lovers, birding enthusiasts, and anyone looking to slow down and reconnect with the natural beauty of the Outer Banks.
