Captain Dans Around the Island Tours

Captain Dans Around the Island Tours Private and public tours now available, Guided boat tour of Chincoteague and Assateague Islands. Wild Ponies, Dolphin, Eagles and more. This trip has it all!
(726)

Out on the water 7 days a week from April 1st to December 1st, trips are 2 to 2.5 hours. For 2022 we will be running “public”, “private” and “semi-private” tours. See our website for specific pricing details. Our signature tour, the “Around the Island Tour”, is a family favorite. We cruise over 25 miles of unique coastline, never passing the same spot twice. We go searching for wild ponies, dolphi

n, bald eagles (and other local wild fowl), sea turtles, and sting rays. Your captain is your guide, pointing out all the local wildlife, historic areas, and explaining the local customs and cultures, both past and present. We will travel completely around Chincoteague Island, while viewing the entire bayside coastline of Assateague Island in Virginia. Our “Afternoon Pony Tour” takes a specific focus on ponies, and may not travel completely “around the island”, but takes us to where we think we will have our best chance, of a good view of ponies. “Private tours” can focus on whatever you desire.

Sometimes I like to take the boat apart between trips, just to see if I can put it back together in time. Like a self inflicted game of “beat the clock”.

Then I tell my guests what I’ve done as we are backing out of the slip 😂. Lets you know right away who’s ready for an adventure 😜

I’d been saying all week that the swim would be at 8:30. After rechecking the tide table, I’m thinking 7:45 🤷‍♂️

*****SOLD OUT*****

Since the service trail is closed to hikers. I’ve decided last minute to do a northern herd round up trip.

$70 per person, adult/child, cash/credit same price. Leave at 8am, stay out for at least 2 hours, but can stay out til noon if it’s a slow round up (I think it will be fast).
