Great experience. Captain Henry not only put us on a lot of ponies in the wild, but we were fortunate enough tot also see/hear many bald eagles as well as dolphins. Captain Henry was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of the Chincoteague ponies. My wife, my 9 yr old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience would highly recommend it. It was a great 2 hours and well worth the money. (The pontoon boat was extremely comfortable as well. ) Thanks Captain.

Great tour, lots of interesting information. He knows where to go where you're most likely to see birds and horses and how to position the boat to get good photos. 11/10 would recommend.

We did the private tour and definitely recommend it. Was a beautiful day, calm waters and we got to see ponies and dolphins! Captain was very knowledgeable about the island and catered the tour to exactly what we wanted!

Captain Henry was spectacular. We had a great time, and unlike my trip with Captain Jake, we saw both dolphins AND ponies.All kidding aside, there is a reason I’ll only book with Saltwater Pony Tours. The intimate boats with a max of 6 people get right up to the ponies. They are able to navigate further inland and you get up close and personal. Each tour is different as the wildlife is different each time. They adjust to make sure you have the best experience they can provide.Thanks for a great trip and see you next season!

So fun. We had a brand spanking new boat and the captain was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and history of Chincoteague and Assateague. Saw tons of ponies and a huge bald eagle. Recommend highly.

This water tour was fun and something we would do again. We caught beautiful weather and rode on a new boat with the top down. The seats were soft leather and very comfortable. We saw bald eagles and wild ponies. We pulled up to within yards of the ponies as they grazed near the water. Because no one is allowed out of the boat the ponies are not afraid. We were on a boat where only six people per tour so there was plenty of room and privacy. The Captain was well versed in all subjects about the ponies and the area in general. Bringing my binoculars enhanced the views of the area.

Captain Henry really new the history of the island and took us up close to see the pony's. Smooth ride and clean boat. Captain Henry took extra care of our group to make sure we saw the beautiful wild life. I give them full stars.

Captain Henry was wonderful. He located bald eagles and multiple herds of ponies for us. He educated us on the care of the ponies, and went above and beyond to show us as much wildlife as possible. We were very happy with this experience and highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour. We had Spencer as our tour guide. This tour did not disappoint. We saw the ponies, an eagle, a pelican, a vulture and dolphin. Spencer was knowledgeable and answered our questions. We will be back next year and will take this tour again. There were bigger boats with hard benches. We were in a pontoon boat with cushioned seats. The boat looked like it would hold more but they book a maximum of 6.
