Just what we needed (and wanted) - We did a private, 2-hour tour. It was great. The captain had lots of information about the history of the area and the wildlife. We were lucky to have a sunny, warm October day. We saw a couple dolphins near the boat, and lots of ponies. Well done.

Amazing - We went out early to see the Northern Herd roundup. It was a beautiful day and Captain Henry and Amber made sure we had the best spot to see all the action. Very relaxed and very friendly. So glad we were able to do this and the price was well worth the trip! Would definitely do this again.

Magical Evening Tour - We enjoyed an absolutely wonderful evening with Henry and the Saltwater Pony Tour. From dolphins to shore birds of ponies…we saw it all. The beauty of Chincoteague Island never fails to amaze me, and last night was just magical. Highly recommend Henry and the Saltwater Pony Tour. I would 100% book this again!

Off to see the ponies!! - We went out with Captain Warren at nine this morning. Came upon lots and lots of dolphins. So cool to watch them and photograph them and Captain Warren stayed in the area so we could get lots of pictures. Proceeded on to find the ponies! Found a small herd of 10 or 12 ponies at the edge of the grasslands so it was perfect! It was a great time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Captain Warren and Saltwater Pony Tours!
