Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge provides habitat to an extensive list of over 300 living species. On our kayak tours, we get the chance to see a variety of birds like the Prothonotary Warblers, Wood Ducks, Northern Cardinals, Killdeer, and Pileated Wood Peckers. Oftentimes, we spot an alligator swimming in the distance or sunning on the shore. The refuge is also home to the largest concentration of black bears on the East Coast. Black Bears can sometimes be seen roaming or relaxing on land or climbing the trees.

Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge
The Alligator River kayak tour is full of adventure!
This national wildlife refuge is a haven for alligators, bears, the incredibly rare and endangered red wolf, and a diverse assortment of unique birds that call the inner banks their home. Alligators, though typically shy, can be spotted in certain canals or larger waterways within the refuge. With Outer Banks Kayak Adventures, experienced kayak guides will take you on an unforgettable journey, scouting for these prehistoric creatures. It’s common to see them either swimming in the water or relaxing along the shoreline.
The Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge is a vast sanctuary that’s home to a diverse array of over 250 bird species. During our Alligator River kayak tours, you’ll frequently encounter stunning birds like Prothonotary Warblers, Wood Ducks, Northern Cardinals, Killdeer, and Pileated Woodpeckers.
