We really enjoyed ourselves here! The location is fantastic! Our boat tour with Capatain John was an unforgettable experience. He grew up here and his knowledge of the channel, Chincoteague, the management of the ponies, the ecology of the area, the movement of tides is an invaluable educationally experience! Did I mention that he is also a hell of a lot of fun??! Can't say enough about Captain John, Captain Dacia and their Snug Harbor Marina and Inn. We can't wait to come back, next year, to rent kayaks and take another boat tour!
