Overview

The Wildlife Discovery Tour provides the opportunity to explore Assateague's fascinating ecosystem. Learn about Assateague's natural and cultural history aboard your own kayak, or take a tandem kayak with a friend! This hands-on, experiential tour focuses on marine species, birds, plants, and of course, Assateague's famous Wild Horses. With the help of our expert guides, you will safely meet some of the amazing creatures that inhabit Assateague Island, one of the world's most productive habitats.

We prioritize finding horses on this tour, but it doesn't always happen, let's say 80/20 in favor of seeing the horses. They are wild animals and are always on the move while grazing, but we scout early and often to give you the best chance. However, there are hundreds of other amazing native species we may discover on the tour, and we think you, and definitely your kids, will still have a blast. On all tours, our guides will always prioritize whatever you are most interested in, just ask!
