Not every battle on the water involves the wild ponies! 🦅😂

We watched this beautiful bald eagle getting relentlessly pestered by a hungry seagull that was clearly hoping to score a free meal. The eagle wasn't having any of it, but the seagull sure wasn't ready to give up!

Moments like these are one of the reasons every tour is different. Along with the famous Chincoteague ponies, you never know what kind of wildlife drama is about to unfold. Bald eagles, dolphins, shorebirds, and unforgettable moments are all part of the adventure.

Nature always puts on a show!

What a day!

After months of planning, Pony Penning 2026 is in the books, and everything came together exactly as we'd hoped. It was one of the most stressful days of the year, but also one of the most rewarding.

Our guests had an incredible viewing location for the Pony Swim and witnessed one of the Eastern Shore's most iconic traditions unfold right before their eyes. Days like today are exactly why this event has become such a bucket-list experience.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and trusted us to be part of your Pony Swim adventure. We hope you'll never forget it.

If you missed out this year, don't wait. Pony Penning 2027 tickets go on sale tomorrow, and they sell quickly. We can't wait to do it all again!

What do you do when the ponies are penned up? You go on an epic dolphin journey… The dolphin tonight along with the albino dolphin which we affectionately call “Casper” showed up in force tonight for an epic show!

The beach roundup was so much fun! Highly recommended. We took our bikes around the nature loop and out to the beach. No crowds, no fuss, no muss.
