What you can expect

Discover Assateague Island on a scenic cruise operated by a locally owned company, founded by an island native in 2001, from Chincoteague Island, Virginia. Cruise along the shoreline of Assateague Island, where the legendary wild ponies roam freely. You may encounter different herds of ponies, pods of dolphins, eagles, shorebirds, and other wildlife in their natural habitat. Along the way, learn about the island’s wildlife, lighthouse, and fascinating history from your knowledgeable local guide.

Your journey begins at the south end of Chincoteague Island. Watch for dolphins coming in from the inlet to feed and take in views of Wallops Island—home to NASA rocket launches—and the southern tip of Assateague Island in the distance. Then, venture into the calm waters of the Assateague Channel, which flows between Assateague and Chincoteague Islands, in search of ponies, dolphins, and eagles.

As you sail, enjoy the peaceful coastal scenery and the abundance of natural beauty. Keep an eye on the shores of the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge for the famous wild horses, and watch the waters for playful dolphins and diverse birdlife. Wildlife moves throughout the day, so you may spot new or different animals on your return trip—making every cruise a unique experience.
