Assateague Island Midday Tour
WHY WE LOVED THIS TOUR
​
"This tour was perfect as we were able to get outside and see Assateague Island during the week. We were driven through the park and saw the famous horses, then onto the off road section where there were way fewer people. We were lucky enough to see dolphins swimming too. Parking right on the water and not having to carry any items was incredible, and we didn't have to walk or do any planning. We were able to take a swim, get out of the water and enjoy our lunch!
