Arrive at the Deep Point Marina, in Southport, to board the 9am ferry. A staff member will meet you with ferry tickets. After a 20 minute ferry ride, you will dock at Bald Head Island. Professional naturalists will meet you in golf carts, at the Island Marina, to begin your 2 hour tour. Take the opportunity to see birds, mammals, reptiles, and other amazing wildlife while learning about and exploring our pristine beaches, maritime forest, and marshes.
