Chincoteague: Assateague Island Sunset Boat Cruise

Discover Assateague Island on a sunset cruise leaving from Chincoteague Island, Virginia. Learn about the many animals native to the island, including the wild horses that roam freely here, and watch as the sun goes down over this unspoiled landscape.

Hop aboard Misty, a coastguard-certified vessel, and set out towards Assateague Island. As you sail, listen to live narration, learning about the history of Assateague and Chincoteague Islands from your local guide.

Look for dolphins and bald eagles, watch shorebirds such as ospreys, terns and pelicans fly by, and keep an eye out for wild horses along the shoreline. Marvel at panoramic views of the island, made more spectacular by the warm glow of the setting sun.

Keep your camera on hand to capture wonderful photos of your wildlife sightseeing cruise. Your boat trip comes to an end back at the town boat harbor on Chincoteague Island.
