Your best option is to call Daisey's and ask. They know the area better than anyone.

Our website has full pricing details, depending on type of boat, time of day and by passenger child or adult. We run year-round too! Tripadvisor doesn't allow posting website links but our #757-336-5556.

We did the sunset cruise and brought food but were too busy to eat. I think snacks and water/drinks would be best. We had a soft sided cooler and so did the other couple on our boat. One thing to note is that we struggled a bit to find somewhere to eat after the cruise that was open past 9pm. We ended up at The Ropewalk which was fine but we were looking for something different as we had eaten there the evening before.

Yes we take kids of all ages. Our 10 time in season is the most affordable for families. It is an educational fun tour. We also do custom tours as well if you want to book a private cruise.

Most of our boats are handicap accessible. We would pick up from Curtis Merritt Harbor where they have a floating dock. It is there for the sole purpose of helping to load and unload those who need a little extra help to board.

I just went on the Spring Roundup Tour on April 14, 2018 and I got to see both the Southern and Northern Herds when the "Saltwater Cowboys" flushed the ponies out and they came right in front of us running down Service Road. We began the tour by traversing around the southern end of Chincoteague and ended up as close to the shore and parked to wait on the horses. Captain relates information about the ponies, passes around a book, the Field Guide to the ponies by Kelly Lidard, island history, etc.

Gift Certificates are good for one year. The second question, hummm really depends on if you like the insanity of crowds, no where to park, and if you do, July when they have the big event of Pony Penning, the swim, running the ponies down Main street to the Carnival grounds to be auctioned off is the time for you and book a year in advance. Now personally, I prefer the small or no crowds, plenty of parking, lower rates in hotels,(off season) the personal experience of a 6-person pontoon boat, and getting very up close with the ponies. It was my first time to the Island so I needed to drive slow and explore the place, locate places, etc. without people tailgating me so without a doubt, the Spring Pony Roundup in April every year or the upcoming Fall Roundup in October. But if you want to go to the Penning and Pony Swim in July, call quickly! I hope I have been of help to you, get out and go soon! Best trip I have ever went on from the Florida Keys to the Great Smokey Mountains and points in between.

Go South from Pocomoke, turn left onto Chincoteague Rd & go across the causeway. When you get to Main St, turn right & go to the end of the island to the harbor.

I went on Daisey's Island Cruises and the BIG Boat has a bathroom. The smaller pontoon boat has an umm, pan and someone will hold a curtain up. All captains strongly suggest you use the bathroom just steps away from the dock before you get on the boats and as soon as you get off. My cruise was a morning cruise that you need to be there at 7:30 a.m. it lasted a total of 3 hours and I only took one bottle of water to sip, in April, it is not hot at all. Here is my tip: Don't drink any coffee before your tour. I had bottled water and snacks in my car. I took a pack of M&M's but wasn't hungry since eating breakfast at the hotel. You will be so excited when you see the horses, you won't even think of going to the bathroom.
