3. Vineyard Voyage

What do you get when you combine Boats, Wine and Good Times? The hottest new tour on the Outer Banks! Vineyard Voyage departs the quaint Outer Banks community of Duck and crosses scenic Currituck Sound by boat to Sanctuary Vineyards. Upon arrival at a historic hunting lodge boathouse you begin the overland part of the voyage in an open-air 4x4 safari truck. Sanctuary Vineyards is located on the historic Wright Brothers Farm, an area rich in waterfowl heritage and farming which dates back to the 1800s. You'll travel through the marsh and cross agriculture fields to reach the 33 acres of viniferous grapes. Once you arrive at the vineyard, you'll get a behind the scenes tour of the winery and receive a private wine tasting. Learn the vine-to-glass process, smell the French oak barrels and meet the master winemakers behind this intriguing process. Make reservations early, this tour sells out frequently!

Updating previous review: Love, love, LOVE this group! No issues finding enough room to move about this visit, but classes are definitely popular so either sign up online or get to the studio 10-15 minutes before class time if you want to do a drop in. With limited #OBX visiting time I prefer to schedule everything out in advance, and the 10 class pack made it easy for me to get my yoga on while at the same time ensuring adequate “spontaneous time” for the family. Also, with the numerous classes I was fortunate to meet many of their instructors, all of whom are top notch! I lost my local studio back home a couple of years ago and have yet to find a new one that is the right fit and as a result have been woefully out of practice. These yogis made me feel at ease with my rustiness, challenged yet not defeated. I feel so good now that I even took an AM SUP yoga class with them, my first one ever, and I loved it. Do NOT feel intimidated. As promised, falling in is half the fun. ???? 2016 review: Excellent retreat I have taken classes with this group in years past at their previous location and found them to be professional, skilled and accomodating. This year I indulged in several different styles of yoga: Vinyasa flow heated and standard as well as Yin; I enjoyed each immensely. I absolutely LOVE their new location: EASY to access, (compared to before), TONS of parking and there is the option for an RELAXING walk before or after class along Currituk Sound via the city's boarwalk! ???? The sole reason for my 4/5 rating is space! This group is popular so do get to your studio, East or West, 15 minutes ahead of your class to stake your spot. I personally do not like to be in the middle and quaters can be tight. ????

I received this special gift for my 75th birthday. My lady said she would treat me to a sensual, special, relaxing, experience. BOY WAS SHE RIGHT!! It started with a couples salt soak in a jacuzzi filled with salt, fragrant oils, and bubbles. After 30 minutes of relaxing in the tub we moved to two massage tables located in the room, for an 80 minute massage by Julia and Tricia. A massage never felt so good. The soft music and aromatic oils used, almost put me to sleep. The talented and professional masseuses made our tired muscles feel much renewed. Following the massages we were treated in a seperate room overlooking the Currituck Sound to a glass of champagne and chocolate truffles. It is an experience I won't forget and will wish to do again. We wish to complement both Julia and Tricia on their professional skills and thank them for making this birthday so memorable for both of us.I

We are on day six of our vacation and we have been to Aqua 5 times! We love everything about the place! The Spa, the restaurant and the waterside location. Aqua has a lovely spa upstairs. It has a beautiful view of the sound and a very calming and soothing atmosphere. The best part of the spa is Mike. I thought I had one of the best massages of my life the first day I came into town. Well I just had a second massage with Mike and it was even better. I always get deep tissue massages and he was amazing. Trust me, make you appointment with him early in your vacation because you will want to go back to see him again! My husband’s massage therapyst was Allison. He was equally enamored. He was suffering from some shoulder and hip pain and she got him standing straight again. Our friends equally loved their pedicures and facials. The spa was clean and impeccable and we felt very safe regarding covid. Everyone, including the massage therapists, wore masks. When we finished our massage we went downstairs to Aqua’s gourmet restaurant. We had unique cocktails, delicious food and a beautiful view. Aqua has it all! We are going back tonight to watch the sunset and enjoy live music!
