Dolphin Watching in Wrightsville Beach
One of the most exciting parts of cruising the waters around Wrightsville Beach is spotting wild Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. These playful dolphins are frequently seen swimming through the Intracoastal Waterway, around Masonboro Island, and along the nearby barrier islands.
While dolphin sightings can never be guaranteed, they are very common on our scenic cruises. Guests often see dolphins swimming alongside the boat, surfacing near the marshes, or playing in the calm coastal waters.
Watching dolphins in their natural habitat is a memorable highlight for many of our guests and one of the reasons our Wrightsville Beach boat cruises are such a popular experience.
