Took a 1 hour cruise of the Cape Fear River on the Henrietta. Left on time and was as expected…read morealmost exactly 1 hour. We asked for and received the senior discount (pays to be old!). Was $24 each. We sat up top under the canopy and it was not too hot. Captain was good and pointed out enough without being too "cute". It would have been nice to have some activity at the port when we went by but it was Sunday and all was quiet. Our trip on the Henrietta was unplanned but we had no problems walking up and getting tickets. Good for everyone if you are looking for an alternative view of Wilmington riverfront. Seating on the top deck is plastic chairs so not super comfortable.

Not being from the area my colleagues booked our group a river boat tour…read more Over all had a great time and would recommend it fully. The captain wasn't overly talky...pointed out some significant landmarks but let the river do all the talking. The boat does have a bar of wine, beer and pop. My colleagues and I enjoyed the tour completely, was a good opportunity for us to relax, hangout and enjoy each others company.

I had family coming to visit and thought it would be fun to get us out onto a boat. I texted the…read morenumber on the website asking if they could possibly accommodate a two hour ride instead of a three and James was very responsive and helpful. He asked for input about where we wanted to go on the ride but also offered great suggestions. It was a nice balance. The day of the ride was SO much fun. There were six of us and plenty of room on the boat to spread out. One of us has a bit of anxiety about boats and James was very reassuring. The island James took us to was peaceful and beautiful and it was amazing getting to float in the still water nearby. He even collected some shells for my toddler to bring home! James is not a Wilmington native but has been here for a while and has clearly worked hard on knowing the area well. The two hours flew by - we had such a great time. Before we got back I was thinking about when we could rationalize doing it again. Highly, highly recommend booking with Salty Feet. Full disclaimer that I know James through a friend, but that doesn't sway my opinion in any way. I'm not affiliated with the business and don't know James well.

The boat was clean, we provided our own beverage and play list, and totally enjoyed our cruise. If you want a relaxing evening this is definitely for you! The cruise is about ninety minutes long, eat before you arrive or bring your own snacks! Please leave the boat as clean as you found it. Did I mention we had the best captain ever? He had great interaction with our group and he was very professional, not bad on the eyes either! Definitely worth a return trip

On the sunset cruise, it can get a little hot sometimes, but once you make it to the ocean breeze, it is perfect. I was able to sit up at the bow and I definitely recommend it. You are able to see straight where you're going and have the best view. If you are near Wilmington at all and want to go out on a boat on the water, I would definitely recommend this. We went out for 2 hours and made it back right as the sun was setting.

We've had a house in Sunset for close to 10 years but have somehow never made our way over here…read moreuntil this past weekend. We've heard tons of good things about it too. We came on a day when we thought the weather at the beach was going to be less than ideal - lucky for us, the Zipline tours operate rain or shine. We ended up having great weather for it too! It was super easy to book. Once we got there, they got us kitted out, then we went through a quick (yet thorough) instruction on how to safely zipline. It was a group of 5 of us plus our guides. The tour took about 2 - 2.5 hours, and you get to go on 10 different ziplines. It was a fun way to spend an afternoon. Especially if the weather is going to be less than ideal and you need some way to kill time. Our tour guides, Chase, Miles, and Zach, were great! Thanks y'all!

The Brew Bus goal: to venture and promote local Wilmington breweries and teach beer drinkers (novice or well learned) the history and flavor profile of the beer staples. They offer open tours for booking online or private tours by pre-booking. The private tours can accommodate up to 14 people and they will customize to your desires. You can also bring your choice of food onto the bus for your party. The pros: -a wide variety of tastings both on the bus and at breweries -- meaning non beer lovers can actually find stuff they enjoy! -funny and knowledgeable tour guides. These guys make being a beer geek look totally freakin awesome -they know the owners of the breweries and their stories which gives you some insight to their brewing process and flavor passions Tips: They don't have food, so eat or bring some snackies! Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to explore Wilmington and discover their beer preferences.
