Birders have a handful of opportunities to view the wildlife and scenery of Swansboro’s estuaries from aboard the Lady Swan, a 40-foot covered ferryboat.
Lady Swan Boat Tours will take a maximum of 24 participants on an educational birding cruise on the White Oak River in Swansboro. The group will slowly cruise through the estuaries in and around the White Oak River and Bogue Sound, including Huggins and Bear islands, looking for resident and migratory birds.
