Shackleford Wild Horse and Shelling Safari

Horse Tours on Shackleford Banks, NC

Enjoy a rare experience with nature on the Shackleford Wild Horse and Shelling Safari. With only a 15-minute ferry ride over to the island of Shackleford Banks, you will assist your guide in tracking the herd of wild horses that have roamed freely on the island for more than 400 years. You’ll want to have your camera with you to capture this fascinating place and its inhabitants.

Following the tour, you will then be directed to one of the best shelling beaches on the North Carolina coast. With the Cape Lookout Lighthouse in the distance, you will have time to shell your way down the beach looking for Conchs, Whelks, Queen’s Helmets, Scotch Bonnets, Sand Dollars and more.

The wild horse tours on Shackleford Banks last approximately 1.5 hours, but you and your group are welcome to stay on the island after the tour for as long as you like. Pack a picnic lunch, grab your fishing pole, and stay on the island to have lunch, go swimming, fishing or do more shelling. Shackleford Banks is a great place to spend the day soaking up the sun and just enjoying this one-of-a-kind experience.
