    Wilmington Water Tours offers cruises on the Cape Fear River. You can either buy your ticket ahead…read moreof time on the website or at the ticket office. Only the Eagle Island Cruise was being offered when I was in town but a sunset tour is available during part of the year. On even hours, the cruise goes north and you get to see more nature and scenery. This is what I did for my first tour with the company. We did look for alligators but did not spot any. I enjoyed the commentary along the way and the peaceful ride. I enjoyed the tour so much, I returned the next afternoon to take the south tour on odd hours. This one goes under the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and you see more industrial things with the container ships and cranes. We did see the wood chipping in progress so that was interesting. Then seeing all the international cargo ships loading and unloading containers. Again, there was commentary along the way. The boat was clean and has a large restroom and sells drinks and snacks. I'd take more tours with the company as both were enjoyable and I learned about the area.

    Could not see fireworks well sitting on the boat. River cruise part was boring, little narration…read moreand uncomfortable seats for 2 hours. Had to twist around to look out your side of the boat. Drinks were sliding off tables and splashing on people, e.g. drink holders? Secure tables maybe?
