This was an outstanding experience from the very beginning! Captain John was the perfect guide. He has lived on Chincoteague his entire life and shared his knowledge of its history as well as the wildlife in the area. We saw wild ponies within the first few minutes of our trip, as well as Bald Eagles and various shorebirds. It was a highly educational and unforgettable trip. We will be returning with friends in the future! Thanks so much Captain John!

Simple tour, basically a small boat going around the inside shore of Assateague Island. The guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. Seeing the ponies can't be guaranteed but we did see some from a distance and also saw eagles and other birds.

Our captain, John, was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of background on what we were seeing. The boat was very comfortable. We saw quite a bit of wildlife including the ponies. Would definitely recommend.

We had the most beautiful Fall day for a boat tour of Chincoteague and Assateague Islands lead by Captain John. I highly recommend booking in October after tourist season if you can. Captain John is very knowledgeable and has lived here his entire life. We learned so much and will definitely make this an annual event!!
