Even though this 2 hulled catamaran offers a variety of different water tours, we took the 2 hour eco tour up the north branch of the Cape Fear River. Unfortunately though, this tour does not run everyday. It costs more than the shorter ones but it is well worth the price. The boat could comfortably seat 30 people or so... More

Went on tour yesterday May 1st with Brunswick Forest group. Rainy and cloudy. Cost $35. Menu was to include as stated by the flyer: beef brisket, pulled pork, potato salad, coleslaw and fresh fruit dessert. Never served the potato salad, coleslaw or fresh fruit. No explanation as to why the menu wasn't followed.

The day was windy, the river was a bit choppy and I was not too excited about being on a boat. I was actually a little bit terrified, but was quickly assured by the staff that everything would be fine. Since the day was cold and only my husband and I had paid to take the tour, I assumed (actually... More

I have taken multiple tours with this company. The guide, captain, knows the history, topography, etc and both the day Nd sunset tours are wonderful.

Just want to say that this was a wonderful experience for us. The Captain and crew were very knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and helpful. My husband uses an electric scooter and the crew went out of their way to help him on board and also to debark. I would recommend this tour for anyone interested in Wilmington and the river.

We had such a nice time on our little cruise. We did the 2 hour tour and while we didn't see much wildlife we enjoyed hearing about the dolphins, turtles and osprey. My husband is very eco-minded so he really dug it. The cruise operators are super nice and helped us decide what else we could do in Wilmington. Highly... More

Modern, stable, almost-brand-new boat, with a friendly and knowledgeable crew. Good vibes on the Cape Fear River!
