Excellent tour. Definitely do this while at Chincoteague. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Our tour guide was only 16 but extremely mature and full of information. They are so accommodating for all ages. And everyone was so nice to our four-legged companion.

This cruise was absolutely fantastic! We went on the small 6 person cruise. Our captain was the best. He took us to so many places, and he was so knowledgeable about Chincoteague and the native wildlife. We saw all sorts of birds plus lots of ponies. I would recommend this cruise to anyone.

We had a great time on the boat and saw the ponies up close. Capt. Bill gave us an interesting history lesson of the island, and we will definitely take another ride when we go back to Chincoteague. We went on the smaller boat with another family.

We had a great tour with Captain Russell! He pointed to the osprey and the bald eagle nests or roosting spots. He was able to get us as close as possible to the wild ponies! We would recommend the pontoon boat tour of Chincoteague and Virginia's side of Assateague.
