Join us for a unique adventure through the scenic dunes of Castle Neck, where we’ll search for the elusive and magnificent Snowy Owl. Unlike most owls, Snowy Owls are diurnal—active both day and night—so we have a good chance of spotting one even in daylight. These wide-open coastal sites are a favorite wintering ground for the owls, with common perches on dunes and salt hay staddles.


This four-mile hike may feel more rigorous due to the hilly terrain and sandy trails, but it’s worth the effort! Your CraneOutdoors guide will point out fascinating flora such as the Woolly Hudsonia, which blooms in late spring, the unique Earth Star mushroom, and the fragrant Bayberry—once used to make candles.


Please bring binoculars, as we’ll be scanning distant dunes for Snowy Owls. Your guide will tailor the route based on weather conditions, but you can expect an unforgettable experience exploring one of the most dynamic ecosystems north of Cape Cod while learning about the area’s wildlife and plant life.


This trek is perfect for nature lovers, bird enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a fresh outdoor adventure in the winter landscape of the Crane Wildlife Refuge.
