Let the storey of the Wright Brothers uplift you on this self-guided driving tour of the Carolina Dunes where they made their first flight. Find out how these two young men went from repairing bicycles to building the first aeroplanes (and why those who came before failed) as you explore the majestic North Carolina seashore where the brothers made history. Visit the Wright Brothers National Memorial, stop by the site of the garage where they built their first prototype, then continue on to take in some stunning views at the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and Corolla Beach.

After booking, you can check your email before downloading the Action Tour Guide app, enter your unique password, and access your tour. The preceding steps require good internet/wifi access. Simply follow the audio instructions and the route from there.

New, extra validity — now, it’s yours for an entire year! Use multiple times over multiple trips!
