...the Chincoteague paddle with ponies!

It's believed that these majestic ponies have lived on the island for over 400 years. Most likely, these animals are the descendants of Spanish horses who traveled to shore after a Spanish galleon shipwrecked somewhere off the coast in the 17th century.

This six-hour tour will take paddlers on a beautiful route along the saltwater marshes of the island where the ponies are known to roam.

Along the way, you can look forward to beautiful scenery, special glimpses into the life of the island ponies, and, best of all, lunch is included!

Your guides on the trip are experts in the area and sport, so they'll help you navigate the waters in a safe and fun way.
