Sharks Tooth Island Kayaking Tours

Sharks Tooth Island fossil and tooth hunting is a kayaking day we guarantee you and yours will never forget. We’ll outfit you with sifters, kayaks or paddleboards, maps, lore, and more for an incredibly memorable self guided Shark Tooth Island kayaking tour. Located just a short drive from Wrightsville Beach, NC (20 minutes – free parking) or Carolina Beach (10 minutes drive), we’ll launch you and show you the ins and outs for a quick kayak trip over.

The island (as well as surrounding ones you can hop around between) is an archeological find in the middle of the Cape Fear River, dredged in a way that has created a mass amount of shark teeth, fossils, and whale bone waiting to be discovered by you. Our guide will provide all the info and gear you need, plus all kinds of tips, tricks, secret spots (wink, wink), and stories to set you up and set the mood for an all out Indiana Jones afternoon.

We also provide a unique service allowing you to paddle and explore on your own as an unguided tour while having the advantage of one of our guides always present to insure safety as well as a wealth of information should you have any questions. The kayak paddle times for Shark Tooth Island are always wrapped around a low tide (more teeth to find, right?) so the time frames for this particular adventure tour change daily. * We may not be able to accommodate a same day paddle reservation but feel free to inquire as we try our best to make it work for you!

This uninhabited dream of pure paleontology makes for an unforgettable day (count your fossilized booty later that night!). Don’t forget to explore nearby Keg Island (and others) too!

Kids AND adults kinda go nuts over this most unique day trip. Let us get you there and show you how to unearth a colossal fossil of a whale of a good time. Dig?

And, of course, feel free to get in touch and ask any and all questions that you may have that we haven’t answered here.

*Reservations required. Time frames are based around a low tide.

*Every client receives area history, safety and paddle instructions, a hefty smile from us, and a shark tooth identification guide so you know what you’re finding! (see below).
