If you’re searching for an adventure that’s equal parts workout, teamwork, and stunning scenery, head to Wrightsville Beach for the Outrigger Adventure—a one-of-a-kind experience that locals can’t stop talking about.
Every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday through November, you can hop aboard a six-person outrigger canoe at Wrightsville SUP, located at 96 W. Salisbury Street. Whether you bring your own crew or join an existing group, this isn’t just another day on the water—it’s an exhilarating team experience that gives you a whole new perspective of Wrightsville Beach.
You’ll get a quick lesson from an experienced steersman before heading out to explore hidden views and calm channels that most beachgoers never see. For 90 minutes, you’ll paddle, laugh, and maybe even race a bit as you glide across the water together. It’s a perfect blend of fitness and fun—ideal for anyone who loves the outdoors and wants to try something new.
And who knows? You might get hooked! Many first-timers end up joining the Wrightsville Beach Outrigger Canoe Club (WBOCC) to keep the adventure going all year long.
Adventure times run from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM, and pricing depends on which outing you choose. (Just note: they take Thanksgiving Day off—everyone needs a break to refuel on turkey!)
It’s one more reason people love calling this area home—where weekend fun can be as simple as grabbing a paddle and heading out on the water.
