    Partner and I went on their kayak excursion Sunday morning, which happened to reach almost 70 degrees with barely any wind...a perfect day! Jess and Steve were careful to ensure that everyone knew the basics before launch. Along the route, they articulated the history of our surroundings and how Chincoteague came to be, the pony roundup, oyster farming, marine biology, other wildlife, ecology, etc. They were very personable throughout and had great bedside manners, which definitely comes in handy with children. They make a great couple, too. This is a must-do when in Chincoteague!

    We had an amazing experience with Steve and his wife, Jess. The kayaking tour was amazing. Their personalities, vibes, and positive energy were the highlight of our tour. I highly recommend them for your kayaking tour!!!

    I highly recommend the sunset kayak tour. We were able to go at our own pace and take in the scenery.

    Stephen took us out paddleboarding and was a great tour guide giving us a truly unique view of the chincoteague marshes. He was encouraging and positive for the beginners and really made you feel at ease. Highly recommend when you visit!

    My husband and I had a wonderful outdoor adventure experience with Jessica and Stephen the husband-wife owners/operators of Assateague Adventures. By kayak, we explored the marshes between the islands, enjoying the unique beauty of these barrier islands. Stephen knows the natural world well and his knowledge helped us enjoy the beauty even more. The highlight was seeing a pod of dolphins bobbing in and out of the water. We will return again and again.

    If you want to go on a tour to look for ponies and other wildlife, this is the tour group you…read moreshould book. Captain Mike was great. He not only got us so close to the ponies, he pointed out bald eagles, the different birds that were flying around. I was amazed at how he could recognize what horse was there by sight. From hundreds of meters away while in the middle of the bay. He also had some fantastic and funny stories about Chincoteague (wait for the Sugar Shack story) what is was like growing up in the area. You can tell he loves his home very much. The pontoons were brand new and stable and very comfortable. It was windy when we went out but I never felt nervous because the pontoon was so sturdy and stable. We got some great photos. And Captain Mike was awesome. I would go again.

    I highly recommend picking Mike and Up the Bay tours for your pony sightseeing…read more Mike is a native to the area, and thus very knowledgeable, but also extremely enthusiastic about the ponies. Thanks to Mike's knowledge of the area, the ponies, and the waterways, we were able to boat right up to the ponies in a manner that was clearly comfortable for them and not intrusive. He was happy to chill there watching them graze and swim, never rushing our tour. But we watched as many tours stayed outside of the marshes and never came close to ponies because the captains were not comfortable navigating the shallow marshes. We would have been quite sad if we were in one of those tours!!! Lastly, the boat is shaded fully shaded and the most comfortable tour boat I have ever been in. Recommend 10/10 - worth every penny!

    What an amazing trip! My mom waited 70 years for this! We booked our trip for a Saturday 2pm and…read morethere were only 2 others on the boat. We went in with the idea that we will have a great trip on the water and learn a little about the area. Fingers crossed to see the horses, that is what mom waited all these years for! We saw part of the heard on the way out from a distance and were happy with that. Then we saw a pair of eagles and dolphins and a group of pelicans and leaned about wallops island. On the way back the heard was closer and we got the experience of a lifetime. They came closer and closer and we were in awe. Captain John was great and the rest of the staff were very friendly and the boat was very clean. We also got a special shell from a little entrepreneur!

    We took an early Sunday morning boat tour around the Chincoteague Wildlife refuge with Captain…read moreJohn. Although it was cloudy and raining, John reassured us that we would have better chance of seeing wildlife in such a weather. He took us to interesting places around the island including the lighthouse, oyster beds, mariner's cross, and popular bird nesting grounds (egrets, pelicans, laughing gulls, black backed gulls, ducks). We also saw the ponies from afar. Overall, this was a great memorable exprience! P.S. only suggestion: could rain coats be provided to customers in a rainy weather?
