Chincoteague sunset

Chincoteague cruises to see Assateague at a special time of day are what memories are made of. Assateague's wild ponies, dolphins, bald eagles and other wildlife are what you can experience on our sunset cruises. We see bald eagles most every day. Dolphins are frequently seen this time of day during Summer and Fall. Sit back and relax with a close up view of the Assateague Lighthouse and it's twin rotating lights that pass overhead at night. Enjoy the coastal island charm as you recall the seafaring history of Assateague's Lighthouse which helped passing ships and local waterman navigate the waters of Assateague for nearly 170 years. Chincoteague cruises during sunset are popular and many visitors do these as well as pony express nature tours in order to see different herds of ponies. Assateague Explorer will help you experience more wildlife in various regions of this beautiful environment at any time of day.
Sunset / Lighthouse / Dolphin Cruises depart from Chincoteague Island and cruise many miles along Assateague Island. See the sunset and wildlife in special areas along Chincoteague & Assateague Island. These Chincoteague cruises at sunset offer you the best way to experience the hidden beauty of this area. They go along Assateague to give you a close up view of the Assateague Lighthouse in its evening glory. You will experience a special time of day in a special place where dolphins, birds and ponies find solitude.
 
We also recommend reserving one of our Pony Express tours so you can experience even more herds of wild ponies while on vacation to Chincoteague & Assateague Island.
