We took our daughter and 4 grandchildren on this trip and all had a delightful time. This is one of the few boats we found that was coast guard approved for more than 6 people. We were glad we found this trip. It was not a great day for seeing the horses - they were pretty far off, but the... More

My family and I went on a sunset cruise in July. The captain's partner was out of town, so the captain had to handle the whole trip himself. He did a wonderful job! He was very concerned about us seeing wildlife, and he went out of his way to make sure that we did. We saw a bald eagle, a... More

Our boat tour was canceled at the last minute while we were waiting at the dock. Worst of all, no one even called us to tell us we had to call them and see what the problem was. I guess everything happens for a reason though because the tour we went on with Daisey's was out of this world.

I would recommend this to any family looking for a fun way to learn and see Chincoteague Island. We had a total of 7 people in our group, 3 of which are children. The captain was very accommodating and went out of his way so we could find some dolphins. We also saw an osprey family in their nest, bald... More

We booked a 2 hour tour and had a wonderful time. Captain Jay and his assistant Joe were very knowledgeable of the area. We learned a lot of history at the same time. It was a gorgeous day, the weather was just right and the scenery was beautiful. I would recommend this to anyone.

My boyfriend and I went to Chincoteague Island two weekends ago and had an amazing time. One of the best things we did was this tour. We had heard about the tour from a local shop and were able to call up and book for the same day. Once we got there the tour guide realized the reservation was made... More

Myself and 4 friends went for a sunset cruise with Assateague Adventures. It was amazing! The captain and first mate were very informative and we saw an eagle and 4 ospreys while on the water! They went slowly around and didn't rush anything. We were given a lot of background on the island and it's highlights. We were able to... More
