Oysters Uncovered: The Kayak Edition Vol. 2

Get ready for a fun afternoon on the water, followed by a delicious oyster tasting as part of this unique farm-to-fork experience.

Join us for one of our Oyster Month (October) kayak adventures on the beautiful shores of Broad Creek where you will tour the Coastal Federation’s demonstration oyster lease and living shoreline. As part of this excursion you will explore the pristine coastal marsh and unique inhabitants on sit-a-top kayaks generously provided by Outer Banks Kayak Adventures!   

The kayak tour will be guided by staff from Outer Banks Kayak Adventures and the Federation’s Coastal Specialist, Victoria Blakey. Victoria will help participants understand how oyster farms and living shorelines work and point out unique birds and marine life found along the shoreline. 

After kayaking, you will retire to Blue Water Grill & Raw Bar for a sampling of a half dozen North Carolina oysters and Blue Water’s signature oyster shooter. Additional food and beverages are available for purchase, but are not included in the $75 event ticket.

Tour and sampling is limited to 10 people per week. Transportation between the Federation’s Office and Blue Water is not included. 

Please note: all tours will start at the Federation’s office in the Wanchese Marine Industrial Park at 1 p.m. Guests are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early to check-in, set up your kayak, and select your pfd. A towel and change of clothes is recommended. Sunscreen, a hat and a refillable water bottle are also encouraged for all participants. A brief kayak demonstration and safety briefing will be given at the start of the tour.
