Assateague Outfitters

The wildlife kayak tour is amazing. We were deciding between a rental (cheaper) and the tour, and the tour is definitely worth it. We saw horses, of course, and our guide Chris pointed out so much wildlife that we would have missed on our own. He was incredibly informative. We saw mussels, terrapins, and various birds, and we even got to go clamming and catch fish and crabs. It was such a memorable experience. The staff in the store were really friendly and helpful, too. I somehow managed to lock my phone in the bathroom and they called a ranger to quickly retrieve it (Thank you!)

Very friendly staff. Rented bikes for two hours and was long enough to bike a lot of the island plus hike the dune trail. Highly recommend!

I had the opportunity to go on the wildlife tour at Assateague Outfitters on the last day of their tour season and the experience from start to finish was amazing. Our guide Steve was so knowledgeable about the wildlife in the bay and the marshes. On our trip we saw plenty of shorebirds, wading birds, crustaceans, turtles, and of course horses, while also getting some light exercise kayaking along the island and just enjoying being in nature. We got to learn about the natural history of the area and theories on the origin of the horses. Once we returned to the rental stand, the other guide Andrew was also super helpful with answering my questions. I had such a great time and I highly recommend that everyone takes a chance to go on the tour if you get the opportunity.
