About Outer Banks Adventures & Water Sports
Outer Banks Adventures & Water Sports is a full-service watersports outfitter located on the Croatan Highway in Nags Head, one of the busiest stretches of the Outer Banks. The operation offers a wide range of powered and non-powered water activities from their sound-side location, making it easy for vacationers to walk in, gear up, and get on the water without advance reservations for most activities. Their central Nags Head position puts them within a short drive of most OBX rental houses from Kill Devil Hills to South Nags Head.
The activity lineup spans jet ski rentals, airboat rides through the marshes and shallow sounds, parasailing flights over the Atlantic, stand-up paddleboard and kayak rentals, and their signature "Magic Bus" wildlife and nature tours. Jet skis are available by the half-hour and hour, and parasailing flights accommodate singles, tandems, and triples. The airboat rides are a unique offering for the Outer Banks, taking guests into the back-sound waterways where traditional boats cannot reach, with frequent sightings of osprey, herons, and even the occasional river otter.
What differentiates OBX Adventures from other watersports providers on the Outer Banks is the variety packed into one location. Rather than visiting separate operators for different activities, guests can spend an entire day cycling through jet skiing, parasailing, and a nature tour without leaving the property. The staff are local watermen who know the sound-side channels intimately and adjust routes based on wind, tide, and wildlife conditions. For families looking to maximise their time on the water during an Outer Banks vacation, this one-stop operation is hard to beat.
