I booked our trip with Morehead Ferry Services the day before our trip. The website was very easy to use & I loved how you could click on the dates and it let you know the various times & if they were sold out. It was a nice convince to be able to pay online as well so we knew for sure we had a spot. When we arrived we only waited a few minutes for the captain to return from a previous trip and he checked everyone in very quickly. We didn't know what to expect when looking on google abt the island it showed how the sand dollars were right on the sand & we weren't looking to get in the water. When we arrived we quickly realized we would be getting in the water to look for the sand dollars. The Captain & Sam were very friendly & informative. They gave us all facts about the various islands & ships we passed. They talked to us all, took pictures for us & even passed out shells they found. We only found 1 small sand dollar that was the skeleton that we could keep- but had SOO much fun looking we saw 2 live sand dollars, a jelly fish & lots of little fish. Other people found more sand dollars. We are already planning another trip in a few weeks with the same captain! We will be more prepared with towels, swim attire, etc.
Thank you for such a nice review. I am very happy you had such a great time and we look forward to having you back with us again.
The captain and crew were very knowledgeable and courteous. We had a fun time on our trip to Sand Dollar Island.
Thank you Karen! I am very glad you had such an enjoyable time. We look forward to having you back with us again.
I've been to Sand Dollar Island several times but have done it with another ferry service. This was my first trip with Morehead City Ferry Service. They were very punctual and the Captain was quite informative about local sites and history during the trip out and back. Much larger boat than we have been on before but this was nice as we scheduled our trip last minute and there was still some room. The other service we have used is a much smaller boat and books up a couple weeks ahead. This was a great trip and we will use Morehead City Ferry Service again.
Thank you for such a nice review. We appreciate that you gave us a try and we look forward to having you back with us again soon.
Captain Dave and crew were great. They gave us great info on the cruise out and in. And gave good tips while we were out. I grew up going to the beaches in this area, even got married over at Cape Lookout lighthouse, but we had never been to this island. We WILL be going back!!! Highly recommended trip for families of all ages!
Thank you Kimberly! I am very happy to hear you had such a wonderful time. We look forward to having you back with us again.
It was on my bucket list to find a whole sand dollar. I was skeptical if I would really find a sand dollar and I found 20. I would go every week if I could . It is great exercise and a lot of fun.
Thank you Debbie! I am so glad you had such a great time. I would go every week myself if I could. We look forward to having you back with us again.
Our family loved this outing - wish we had taken this cruise years ago when our kids were younger but our 16 and 11 year olds had fun too. The captain shared interesting information about the area as we traveled to and from the island. I found my first sand dollar on this trip and 5 in total. The water was shallow and clear with areas that were deeper for swimming. We took a cooler with waters and a sun hut to have a spot to get a break from the sun and are glad that we did.
Thank you Sylvia! I am very happy to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful time. Sand Dollar Island is a favorite for people of all ages. We look forward to having you back with us again.
