We had a party of 9, 7 of us parasailing and 2 observers. Our youngest parasailer was 8 but our 4 year old observer will fly next year! I was a little hesitant about how scary parasailing would be for the littles but it was a calm take off and return, the time up there was peaceful. Captain Pierre gives you the option of dipping your feet in (or more!) and their precision is on point! Shipmate Hailey takes all the photos and equips you with the go pro (worth the splurge!) and they capture the greatest moments. These memories will last a lifetime time!

Our captain, Aiden, was an amazing and fun person to take us on our tubing adventure, and even tried to get me knocked off and fall into the water, which was super fun, but he was unsuccessful ! He even taught us a bit about dolphins (by far one of the coolest things I learned from a tour guild that was not a part of the experience). Not only was the tubing experience really fun, but I and my family also had a fun time just being there, and Aiden made 10x better with his fun and positive attitude and enthusiasm that he brought. And I guess the clothes are pretty great too I'm just kidding, they are actually like so comfortable, and I think are a much needed purchase because of the comfort and selection of the colors of the clothing they sell! I will definitely be asking to come back in the future whenever we are in the area! Thank you Nor' Banks for making the out to Duck so fun! -Owen

If you do a guided tour, they are extremely knowledgeable about the area and wildlife that you may see along the way. 10 out of 10!

He had a gentle, easy way about him - striking up genuine conversation with all of his visitors, like he was an old friend. I recommend either of his two shops to anyone visiting the OBX. I rarely give perfect scores to businesses. They most certainly deserve it. I heard him helping other people ahead of us in line and he knows his stuff.
