What you can expect

  • Welcome aboard the H2O Captain’s “Round We Go!” tour—an easygoing 2.5–3 hour sightseeing cruise made for visitors who simply want to get out on the water and take in the views. You’ll stay on the boat the whole time, soaking up the breeze and scenery of North Carolina’s Crystal Coast.

    Begin with a scenic ride along the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) as the captain opens it up and you settle into the rhythm of the water. Along the way, you’ll pass natural highlights like the Rachel Carson Reserve and Carrot Island, known for preserved coastal ecosystems and wildlife.

    Keep watch as you cruise near Shackleford Banks, where you may spot the area’s famous wild horses. The route also includes views of Sugarloaf Island and the waterfront of Morehead City, before you continue past Beaufort, enjoying a unique vantage point of its historic Front Street and charming shoreline.

    This tour is ideal for anyone seeking a relaxed cruise, beautiful coastal scenery, and wildlife viewing opportunities—all in one trip.
