Carolina Beach Jet Ski Rentals

If you're on a budget, try to go on a weekday. Prices tend to be lower and the water is less crowded. I went on a Thursday and it was perfect!

I suggest getting there around noon. The morning tours can be a little rushed, plus the afternoon sun makes for fantastic photos on the water!

Book online ahead of time to save some cash. I was able to snag a deal by booking a few days in advance instead of walk-in prices, which can be higher.
Fox Mountain Guides and Climbing School

I think bringing your own snacks or lunch is a good move. The nearby food options can be a little pricey and there's nothing like a good meal after a climb!
My advice is to take the time to speak with the instructors... They know all the best spots and can give you insider tips to make your climbing experience so much better!

i suggest arriving around 8:30 am. you can beat the crowds and have more time to warm up and get familiar with the gear before hitting the trails.
Surf City Jet Ski Rentals

Check the weather forecast before you go! We had to sit out a session because of unexpected rain, and it wasn’t the best experience. A sunny day makes all the difference!

If you're a first-timer, I suggest going for the 30-minute ride instead of an hour. It’s plenty of time to enjoy yourself but not too long to tire you out. Plus, if you love it, you can always rent for longer next time!

I recommend booking your jet ski in advance if you're going during the weekend. It gets super crowded and you might end up waiting a long time. Trust me, I learned the hard way.

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. They charge a lot for refreshments there, and you just want to enjoy the day without breaking the bank.
Aquaholics Boat Rentals

I recommend arriving by 9 am to avoid the long lines. We got there late and had to wait around, which was a bummer.

If you're planning to do some fishing, buy your bait from a local shop before arriving. The selection at the rentals was pretty limited.
Pisgah Climbing School

I suggest bringing your own water and snacks. The on-site cafe isn't that great, and it can make your day smoother and save you some cash. Plus, you’ll need the energy!

I recommend booking your session in advance, especially on weekends. They can fill up fast, and you don’t wanna miss out!

I think you should ask your instructor about local climbing spots for afterwards. I stumbled into some awesome trails that I never would have found on my own!

My advice is to wear comfortable climbing shoes. Don't underestimate the importance of good fit, it made a huge difference for me during the climbs.
AF Wake

I recommend booking your rental equipment online in advance to save some cash. They often have deals for early bookings that you won't want to miss!
I suggest bringing your own snacks and drinks. The concession prices are pretty steep, and having your own goodies while you chill by the water is way more relaxing

My advice is to go on a weekday rather than a weekend. It was less crowded, and we had more time on the water – totally worth it!
