Great experience!

We had Captain Ray as our tour guide and he was so informative. It was great hearing about the history of Chincoteague and Assateague. We also got to see the ponies up close and, thanks to a zoom lense for phones that Captain Ray lent...More

Great boat tour

We took the 6pm tour. It was perfect. Toured a round the island and saw the horses up close and personal. Plenty of time for photos. We highly recommend this tour.

Wy wife and I absolutely LOVED the tour! Captain Dan was a terrific host!

Captain Dan was the consummate host, showing us a great time. He was very knowledgeable, funny and deeply concerned with the fate of the environment. We got to see both the southern and northern herds up close (within feet of them!) and spent time with...More

Best on the Island

Capt. Dan's tour is the best! He makes sure you see ponies!! His knowledge of the island and the ponies is incredible. You can tell he is a very well read person during his tours.

The Best Boat Tour of Chincoteague I’ve Taken

Chincoteague has been a magical island for me to rediscover as an adult. I had so much fun exploring the island with family and friends last year, that I returned twice recently with friends who’ve never been. I personally believe the boat tours are one...More

Absolutely the best!

We read tons of reviews before deciding to book Captain Dan for a private tour. We came to Chincoteague specifically to see the ponies and struck gold with Captain Dan! He’s an amazing tour guide! We saw 5 separate herds, and it was so fun...More

You will want to do it again and again!

I can't count how many times we have taken an Around the Island Tour with Captain Dan or Captain Ray. The reason I keep coming back? He is a wealth of information on everything from ponies to birds to sea life and Teager history! He...More

DO THE PRIVATE TOUR!!

We’ve taken the around the island tour 3 times in the last 6 years. It’s really fun, you’re out on the water and you never know what you’ll see. Captain Dan has so much knowledge about the area and it’s history. Plus, he’s funny. We...More

Hi there! Two quick questions. We will be coming down in August. How far in advance would you suggest booking? Also, are there bathrooms on board or bathroom stops? Thanks!

AnswerShow all 2 answers

I would say book at least a week in advance (maybe 2). If you have a specific time of day you want to go, or a larger group (any more than 2 people), maybe book even earlier. We do have a “portable chemical potty with... More
