Overview

This tour is a “ripper” opportunity, ever dreamed of being Moana or Indiana Jones? Well put your wide brimmed hats on and lets get busy exploring Shark tooth island and the Cape Fear River together. Obviously I can’t guarantee shark teeth on the island but just like life it’s all about the journey. We’ll get you to the Island in time for optimal Shark Teeth finding opportunities but along the way we’ll take in the famous Cape Fear River. We’ll also be on the lookout for jumping fish, a range of birds and butterflies and you’ll also hear a little history of the surrounding area from your guide. Don’t be a dag, book now so you don’t miss out.

    Sorting, ranking, and search results

    Activity name

    Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
