What travelers are saying
- Christi S3 contributionsJohn was a wonderful guide. He knew the history of the island and where to find the most beautiful spots and best wildlife. We got to see dolphins and gorgeous bird watching. He was knowledgeable and professional. Would definitely recommend!Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kimberly D10 contributionsCaptain Mark was awesome in every way. Very smooth and relaxing ride despite rough waters and wind. Very knowledgeable and didn't rush us. Took us right up to the ponies and let us watch them.He wanted us to see dolphins and told us to shout it out if we saw them and he would take us right up to them but they didn't show. Still a great cruise!Written August 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SOBieAZPhoenix, AZ69 contributionsAmazing, beautiful and educational. Our guide, Mike, native to the Chincoteague Island, was so informative about the area and the ponies 🐴🐴 Would definitely recommend 👏🏽Written October 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mike B1 contributionThe caption was fantastic! We saw wild horses and dolphins. The only disappointment was the tour guide spent too much time talking about herself rather than focusing on the tour topic of interest. We do recommend this tour.Written September 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alicia D2 contributionsBailey was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgeable. He purposefully ensured he spent time talking with each kayaker. He assisted kayakers who needed assistance. We were fortunate that the horses were at the beach. It was a highlight!Written September 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- malaika_butler3 contributionsWe visit Chincoteague almost annually and this is going to be another regular for us! Mom and pop owned, relaxing and good conversation even though it was just her and I kayaking. Very knowledgeable about the area and the ecosystem. Very great recommendation for a group trip or solo with the instructor.Written August 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- GoPlaces29853595261Land O Lakes, FL3 contributionsGreat afternoon with Captain John. We saw lots of dolphins up close. Ponies in the distance. Beautiful scenery. Would definitely recommend.Written August 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ethan89727 contributionsAmazing tour! This tour was the best thing we did during our stay in Chincoteague. We didn’t set our hearts on dolphins knowing the are wild animals and there is no guarantee that we will see them but we actually did! A dozen or so! The Captain stopped his boat and let them play all over the boat while we were admiring the scene and taking photos. It was unbelievable experience. Much more than expected.Written July 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- CarrotFaringdonFaringdon, UK32 contributionsThis was a last minute booking - I’m so glad we did! Captain John runs a good ship and clearly is very knowledgeable about the islands and his home. We saw ponies, an osprey, dolphins and pelicans amongst lots of wildlife. And the sunrise did not disappoint!….Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- kyrielaneTallahassee, FL4 contributionsWe had such a wonderful experience! Stephen was an experienced guide that was friendly and patient. I was worried we wouldn’t get to see any ponies, but we saw quite a few. I had no idea we would be able to see them as close as we did. I wish I could go every day!Written May 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Chris T1 contributionGreat sunset cruise on a pontoon. Crew was very helpful getting us on board. They assisted with the knowledge of the area and how to operate the boat.Written July 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ammon A52 contributionsAmazing! Enjoyed the tour from start to finish. Seen ponies, babies, and bald eagles. Both kids loved it as well. We do again next time we come back.Written June 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Christi S3 contributionsJohn was a wonderful guide. Boat was clean and safe. He knew a ton about the island, the history and the ecosystem. We saw birds and spent a good amount of time up close and personal with dolphins. Gorgeous sunset views! Highly recommend!Written September 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Bill K21 contributionsMy wife, dog, and I motored off to an island just across from Curtis Merritt Harbor. It is full of nesting shore birds but they did not bother us unless we walked a little too close and they got very vocal. There was a large contingent of pelicans and other birds I have never seen before. We set up camp for an hour and a half and enjoyed nice breezes, beautiful views, nice walks and a swim. Flies were a little annoying in the shade but bug spray kept them at bay. Current is a bit strong so didn’t venture too far out. Capt John and his wife Basia were great hosts. We also bought two shells from their lovely little daughter. I would highly recommend a water taxi or boat tour at this family run business.Written June 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ron V2 contributionsUnbelievable experience. The staff were friendly, experienced, and engaging. The hour felt like a lifetime it was incredibly fun, so fun I just book another day. I’ve been to Chincoteague many times in the past and I have to say this was the best.Written July 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
