Dare to Hyde adventures

You can build your own itinerary from a unique menu of options with this Outer Banks outfit. From seeing black bears and fishing offshore to exploring local heritage and experiencing hands-on farming, you can do as few or as many activities as you like. Third-generation outdoor guide Jamin Simmons formed Dare to Hyde with his wife, Pam, and all activities are led by knowledgeable natives of Ocracoke and greater Dare and Hyde counties. Located on Ocracoke Island, with the ocean on one side and Pamlico Sound on the other, Dare to Hyde’s watersports headquarters is situated to offer lots of water options, including parasailing and lessons for surfing and kitesurfing. Dare to Hyde also offers gear rentals for do-it-yourselfers and (optional) lodging at handsome Berkeley Manor on Okracoke Island.
