Birdwatching Boat Tour

Glide through the calm coastal waters of Virginia’s barrier islands on a birdwatching boat tour of Chincoteague and Assateague. As the boat weaves past salt marshes and hidden coves, you may spot ospreys circling overhead, herons and egrets stalking the shallows, magnificent bold eagles showing off, oyster catchers, pelicans, gulls and flocks of migratory shorebirds resting along the shoreline. Wild ponies may even appear grazing in the distance, adding to the magic of the landscape. With the salty breeze in the air and an expert guide sharing insights, this peaceful tour offers an up-close look at one of the East Coast’s most vibrant coastal ecosystems.
