Specializing in Wild Ponies since 2006! Family friendly nature tours of Chincoteague and Assateague Islands. Our trip combines a sight-seeing and guided tour together. We search for wild ponies, dolphin, bald eagles, sea turtles, sting rays, all manner of wild fowl, and local creatures. Our signature “Around the Island Tour” covers over 25 miles of coastline, in about 2 hours. Local family owned and operated, eight generations of our family have lived on Chincoteague Island since 1780.
