Hello Happy hikers! It’s time to bring back the annual overnight backpacking trip on April 5-6, to Shackleford Banks. Trip will begin on Saturday morning in Beaufort at the Island Express Ferry with a ferry ride over to the island. After picking a camping spot and setting up our tents we will have the remainder of the day to explore the island, perhaps finding some of the native horses, and to walk along the seashore and hunt for seashells.

The next morning we will continue to explore at our leisure, before packing up to catch the ferry back to the mainland. Once on the mainland, all who are interested can join in for a casual meal at one of the local restaurants.

Please note that if you plan to attend, you are required to bring everything you will need for an overnight trip.  There are NO bathrooms and NO water or food on the island. Everyone needs to be self sufficient. Backpackers should be comfortable hiking up to 2-3 miles with their backpack. 

Cost for the Ferry ride is $24/pp round trip, which includes 2 carry-ons.  Any more carry-ons will be assessed an extra fee by the ferry service. To reserve your spot on the ferry with our group, please call Island Express Ferry at (252) 728-7433 at your earliest convenience and ask for the 10:00 am Saturday time slot. Reservations may be cancelled up to 24 hours prior to departure. Sorry, but this trip does not accommodate any kayakers.  Any participants on this trip must do so by ferry.
 
Also note that those just wishing to join us on Saturday for a day trip are more than welcome to do so. You must also call and reserve your ferry time slot as well. 

Deadline for signing up with the OAC is Wednesday, April 2nd. Ferry reservations are first come first serve based on availability.
