A group may use their own watercraft or a concession ferry that leaves from Harkers Island. Museum personnel will meet you at the station. Some programs offered by the museum include transportation. This fee includes use of the station, vehicle transportation on the island, and support of museum staff that will stay with groups at the field station. Use of boats and other instructors may necessitate additional charges depending on the program and extent of use.
Length of stay is limited by other scheduled uses of the facility.
Groups that bring their own food should plan on feeding two museum staff during the program. The museum's program coordinator for Cape Lookout will assist in planning programs, activities, and scheduling instructors. The museum can supply some field studies equipment. The application and agenda are reviewed by the Cape Lookout Studies Program Coordinator and approved by the Museum Director. Upon approval, a confirmation of the reservation is given to the applicant with other relevant educational materials and specific information.
