Kayaking on the Outer Banks
Kayaking is one of the most popular activities on the Outer Banks for good reasons. The Albemarle and the Pamlico Sounds offer diverse landscapes to explore and see the coastal waters in a different way. The canals, inland rivers, the ocean and salt marshes are all accessible to you in a kayak. You are exploring, exercising and spending time with friends and family during a kayak tour…all at the same time. Kitty Hawk Water Sports has a tour for every interest.
