• Assateague Adventures Kayak Tours & Kayak Rentals - Enthusiasts can experience the 2023 Chincoteague Pony Swim up close by kayak!

The annual pony swim and roundup is celebrating its 99th year on Chincoteague Island. This event is renowned for the saltwater cowboys who gather the wild ponies of Assateague to cross the channel. Upon arrival, they are “cattle driven” to the carnival grounds for auction. Witnessing this incredible event is best done by kayak, allowing access to areas boats cannot reach!

This is a must-see event to check off your bucket list, as over 200 wild Chincoteague ponies are herded by local saltwater cowboys across the Assateague Channel.

Make sure to book well in advance, as space for the event is limited!
