On our honeymoon, my husband and I wanted to go on a boat for a couple of hours to see the water and wildlife.  After reading reviews online, we decided that Daisey’s Dockside Scenic Cruises was the best tour with the most informative captain and nicest boat.  All the reviews were right!  It was the highlight of our trip and we enjoyed each second.

Captain Tom and his dog, Bailey, greeted us at 9:15 am for our 9:30 am cruise. It was a beautiful day and we were excited to get on the boat.  They only let 6 people on the boat at a time, and that was the best part.  Everyone was so friendly and comfortable, sitting on great couch like seats.  Captain Tom told us all about the island, the wildlife, and the story of the ponies.

After spotting some dolphins, he sped the boat up until we were directly next to them.  We got amazing pictures and it was great to be that close.  Captain Tom said they don’t always get to see the dolphins, and it was a very nice treat for us!  He took each couples picture in front of the Lighthouse.  Then we saw some of the famous ponies and even a Bald Eagle.  He got us really close to the Bald Eagle and it was a beautiful picture shot.  Because we had some time left (the cruise is a full two hours), he parked the boat on a sand bar and let us walk around.  It was a really neat experience to be standing in the middle of all this water on a sand bar.

I highly recommend Daisey’s Dockside Scenic Cruises to anyone who is visiting the Chincoteague area.  We are still talking about it!
