Private prehistoric shark-tooth hunts by boat
Trade a conventional party favor for a fossil you found together.
Tooth & Tide Adventures
Tooth & Tide takes private groups by boat to Cape Fear River islands to search shorelines for prehistoric shark teeth and marine fossils. Its Wilmington-based operator offers tailored small-group outings rather than a shared sightseeing cruise.
Current location note / listed area: Wilmington, North Carolina
A private nature outing, not an advertised wedding package. Tour listings limit groups to six passengers; confirm the booking limit despite a larger boat-capacity statement elsewhere. Finds are not guaranteed. Weather, tides, footing, collection permissions and accessibility need advance discussion; follow guide and land-management restrictions. Licensing and insurance claims have not been independently verified.
