We've taken the Beaufort Ghost Walk to the Next Level !

Experience the Thrill of Exploring an Authentic Historic and Haunted Building

Our Ghostly Pirate Crew has returned from the depths of Davy Jones' Locker to entertain and enlighten you in this EXTREME Ghost Tour!!

Instead of just seeing haunted buildings from the outside, we actually take you inside one of the area's most haunted historic buildings. The Webb Memorial Building has such a haunted reputation, it was specifically chosen to be investigated by the paranormal research team from Haunted North Carolina, and the results were pretty spectacular. You'll hear all about it !

Bone chilling stories of murderous pirates, haunted cemeteries, and ghostly encounters will have you looking over your shoulder on the way home. Bring your camera!! It's very possible that you might capture ghostly images in your pictures. If you do, please send them to us to be featured on this website !

But, that's not all...

Our pirate guides are the best in the business, and it's their job to turn you and yours into a salty crew of swashbuckling rogues. You'll leave with a whole new appreciation of a pirate's day to day life as you experience what it was like to eat, work, fight and play like a true pirate.

My family and I were recently in Beaufort for a vacation and we went on the Legend of Blackbeard tour, Carrie was our guide on this tour. I am writing you to tell you that she did an OUTSTANDING job. We really enjoyed it. She told the story so that you could picture what she was saying. She is great. After this tour we also went on the Port City Pirates and Ghost tour where again Carrie was our tour guide and once again she did an outstanding job. Everyone did really well, but Carrie and Harvey were just the BEST. We are really looking forward to coming back in the fall to take the Beaufort Ghost Walk. Thank you for a Great time!

Wild Horse & Shelling Safari

"Awesome! We'll be back next year to visit the Horses again."

- Cliff Sifford

Take a 15 minute ferry ride over to Shackleford Banks and the southern portion of the Cape Lookout National Seashore. There you will be introduced to the Wild Horses of Shackleford. This herd is believed to have descended from Horses that were brought here roughly 400 years ago, and still survive as one of the last isolated groups of wild horses in the US.

You will help your guide track the horses and see first hand the fascinating behavior of horses in the wild, a rare experience with nature that you'll never forget. Bring your camera for pictures that will forever remind you of this amazing place and its fascinating inhabitants.

After the tour, you will be directed to one of the best shelling beaches in all of North Carolina where you can spend some time on your own shelling your way down the beach, with the Cape Lookout Lighthouse off in the distance. You can spend the rest of the day at the Seashore and return on your pre-scheduled ferry back to Beaufort, and you can even bring your chairs and coolers!

THE ONLY GUIDED TOUR ON THE ISLAND!

Adults - $25 / Kids - $15 (Price includes round-trip Ferry to/from Shackleford Banks)

Meets daily at 8:45 am - Reservations are required
