When do Port City Beasts tours launch?
Spring 2027. The Downtown Wilmington Tour is open for booking now — its first date is Saturday, March 6, 2027 at 1:00 PM. The Downtown Craft Brewery Tour and Ghosts & Creepy History follow; join the launch list to hear about their dates first.
Where do tours start?
Tours start at the downtown Wilmington waterfront. When you book, your confirmation covers the meet-up details — just show up a few minutes early and look for the Beasts. You really can't miss them.
What exactly is a Beast?
A Beast is one of our themed four-wheeled rides — a pirate ship, an elephant (that's Topsy), the Cape Fear Serpent, Skyler the Seahawk, the Cape Fear Dolphin, and the Beast of Wilmington. Every tour is guided, so you just ride, look around, and enjoy downtown.
How much is the Downtown Wilmington Tour?
It's $79 per person for the two-hour guided tour, booked online through FareHarbor. If the date you want sells out, FareHarbor offers a waitlist — join it and you'll get an email with a book-now link if a seat opens.
How do gift cards work?
Port City Beasts gift cards never expire, and they're good for the Downtown Wilmington Tour. Buy one online and go digital, or ask for a physical card — we mail those free. They make an excellent gift for anyone who thinks they know Wilmington.
Do I need experience to ride a Beast?
No. Beasts are four-wheeled and stable, your guide gives you a quick how-to before you roll, and the pace is sightseeing, not racing.
Who runs Port City Beasts?
We're the newest adventure from the Triangle Adventures crew (RTP Adventures LLC) — the same folks behind guided e-bike tours and Aventon e-bike sales in Raleigh, Clayton, and Wilmington.
Can I book a private or group tour?
Groups are our favorite. Birthdays, celebrations, and company outings are exactly what the launch list's group option is for — join it, or call us at 919-807-1368 and we'll set something up.
