The Island Express Ferry Service surprised us with a visit to Harkers Island where we were able to view the wild horses! This was spectacular!
Then, we were within feet of the legendary Cape Lookout Lighthouse! We were all ecstatic!
We traversed the island and enjoyed the hiking trails to the ocean and the lighthouse. It was a picture perfect day! The sea was glistening.
The island was a fun place to explore.
We had so much fun! The weather was perfect. Our Captain was very informative and helpful.
