The horses in Assateague Island were amazing. We were able to see them close up from the boat. Our guide Patrick was very knowledgeable and showed us so much in the area.

I took my two teenagers out on the tour. It was great. John, the boat operator was very knowledgeable and we had incredible views of the beautiful ponies who were out in force that day. We also saw dolphins right up close to the boat which was amazing and plenty of pelicans and other birds. It was a beautiful day and I thought my teens would be bored but they actually really enjoyed it. It was a bit pricier than the other tours, but it was well worth it because we got our own individualized tour and the boat was super comfortable. . The operators were very nice and accommodated a change in our schedule..
