Passion for Adventure: About Wild Pony Tours
At Wild Pony Boat Tours, we’re proud to offer one of the most unique and unforgettable experiences on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. Based in the heart of Chincoteague, our tours bring you up close to the island’s natural beauty, rich history, and of course—its famous wild ponies.
Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to experience the magic all over again, our mission is simple: to connect you with the wonder of this incredible place in a fun, respectful, and memorable way.
Here’s what makes our tours special:
- 🐎 Up-close views of Chincoteague’s wild ponies in their natural habitat
- 🦅 Frequent sightings of bald eagles, dolphins, ospreys, and more
- 🎙️ Live narration from experienced local captains who know the land, water, and legends
- 🌊 A relaxing 2-hour cruise through the scenic waterways of Chincoteague and Assateague
- 📚 Stories of island history, including the legendary Pony Swim, “Misty of Chincoteague,” and local life
- 🌿 A commitment to conservation and respectful wildlife viewing
- 🧡 A tour experience inspired by the legacy of “Barnacle” Bill Melvin, a beloved island storyteller
Whether you’re here for the wildlife, the views, or the stories, we look forward to showing you the best of Chincoteague—by water.
