    Captain John was super friendly. Our tour was wonderful. Bald eagles, ponies and lots of birds. I highly recommend this company.

    Our boat tour with Captain Dan's Around the Island Tours was absolutely terrific!! This was easily…read moreTHE highlight of our day on Chincoteague. Captain Dan took us all around Chincoteague and Assateague, including up into the shallow marshes where the smaller boat could get us wonderfully close to the wildlife and scenery. We saw bald eagles, the Chincoteague ponies, Assateague Lighthouse, and some absolutely beautiful parts of the islands that you just can't appreciate from the road. You can normally see dolphins, but they didn't make an appearance for us. What really made the trip special, though, was Captain Dan himself. He was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and clearly loves the area. We must have asked him a billion questions about everything under the sun--wildlife, fisheries, the ponies, the islands, local history, the marshes, even county sewage issues -- and he happily answered every one of them in depth. It felt much more like spending a couple of hours exploring Chincoteague with a very knowledgeable local (he's 7th generation on Chincoteague!!) friend than taking a standard tourist boat ride. The two hours flew by, and we came away knowing that we had seen and learned so much more about Chincoteague and Assateague than we ever had before. We can't recommend Captain Dan highly enough. If you're visiting Chincoteague, put this tour on your must-do list!

    EXCEPTIONAL TOUR-- I took the 1/2 pony 1/2 dolphin tour!…read moreCapitain Doug was experienced and had a need for speed so hold on! what a thrilling ride!!! ;) First we saw the wild ponies -- the capitain found all their hiding places and we were up close and personal with the ponies. Then we sped out to the ocean to see the dolphins! The ocean is chopping so hold on!! Again, he found the dolphins near the shore and gave us every angle to get a great picture! On the way back he spotted a young pelican and we stopped to check it out! Yes, you need to take this tour!

    We did the afternoon kayak tour. Our guide Brody was there right on time and wasted no time…read moregetting us in the water. I was nervous as it has been 25 years since I have been on a kayak and I have a bum knee. We opted for a tandem kayak and I am glad. Brody knew all about the marsh and really enjoyed sharing his knowledge. Not only did we see ponies, we saw a variety of other wildlife like various birds and turtles. This was a 2 hour experience and we traveled about 3 miles into the marsh. We were the only ones on the tour and to their credit, they did not cancel it. But, like Brody said, it is not a job!

    Do NOT use this your company, or any tour company for pony swim week. It is price gouging to an…read moreextreme and they take advantage of people who have never been there before. They wanted us to pay $95 to park at a little gravel road and also wanted to charge us $75 per kayak to put our OWN kayaks in at a PUBLIC boat ramp. They use fear and intimidation to try to get you to pay it, claiming the water is dangerous. It is not at all. Then on swim day, they were using the public boat launch for their own customers when they should have their own. We also witnessed the tour guide leave a member of the group back at the ramp while she sat there sobbing because she had no clue what to do and wasn't even holding the paddles correctly. Other people helped her out and they told the tour guide but he said she could just go on the next group. But what if she had friends in that group? Absolutely horrendous way to treat your customers when they pay $250 per kayak. We also witnessed a tour guide trying to cross the channel on Friday and the coast guard yelled at him multiple times to get back. He stated he 'knew someone over there' but they continued to yell at him and he finally got back. These people only care about the money, not their customers and clearly do not know what they're doing. Do not recommend. You can easily park at East Side public boat launch ramp with a $20 launch permit from the town hall. Don't be intimidated by these people.
