Itinerary:

​

Morning or Afternoon: Meet at Ocean City Park and Ride for departure. If you are staying in West Ocean City or Berlin, we provide pick up and drop off directly at your lodging, just let us know upon booking. 

 

Along the short drive to Assateague we will talk about the rich history of the park, its formation, ecosystem, and horse population. Upon entering the park, we will do our best to spot wildlife along the way, including some of the famous horses. Sika deer and other wildlife, including a vast array of birds can sometimes be seen as we travel through the park.

​

After arriving at the off road / over sand section of the park, we will drive down the beach to the MD/VA state line, exploring the territories that the different horse bands are known to frequent, including two drive-able paths to see the bayside. While the horses are wild and roam freely, your guide knows their different territories and will do his best to find the horses.

​

Weather permitting, we can relax on the beach around a campfire, with all beach supplies provided to enjoy a warm campfire on a cool evening.

​
