The island is loaded with history and this program delivers that history in depth. From clamming to crabbing, touring the island and adjacent islands, watching the horses and wildlife, this program was worth the investment in time and money. Our group meshed very well and continues to stay in touch to this day.

The Chincoteague program was both informative and FUN. The community was welcoming. The food was great. It was just the right mix of presentations and experiential learning. Highly recommended.

A great program. It is filled with opportunities to learn not only about the people who live on the island but also about the industries and programs that keep it vibrant. Well worth it!

Chincoteague Sea to Table was a wonderful experience! Oysters, clams, and then the wild ponies, what more could you want?

I absolutely loved the Sea to Table program on Chincoteague Island. I learned so much about the history of this little gem of an island, its past and present aquaculture economy, and of course the wild ponies that swim from Assateague every year which is a huge tourism draw. Really interesting and fun experiential activities like clamming, visiting an oyster aquafarm and making a clam chowder with our host chefs. The "table" part was amazing. We ate ourselves silly so if you are a foodie, this trip is for you. The Chincoteague oysters are probably the best you'll ever eat!

This was my first Road Scholar trip and my husband and I had a really good time. The activities were very fun. The food was great and the people on my tour were really fun and added to my enjoyment of the trip.

We combined the Sea to Table program with Kayaking the Eastern Shore which made it an overall great experience.

Would highly recommend this trip. With only 13 participants in my group it was indeed a "small group tour". Got to know everyone. Nice mixture of singles, couples & other family relationships. Didn't feel like odd man out. Instead of a motel we booked an entire wonderful B&B (Chanel Bass Inn)) that had fantastic breakfasts. Enjoyed the many hands on activities.

You won't be disappointed in this trip to Chincoteague Island for the "Sea to Table Extravaganza". It was full of amazing vistas, whimsical stories of wild ponies and marauding pirates, villages that flourished and faded, shipwrecks, fires and fishing facts from past to present. The accommodations were a delightful introduction into Chincoteague's genteel past and the food anywhere you went, most especially Channel Inn, never disappointed!

This program was not only very interesting and informative but was a lot of fun also. Chincoteague is a unique place and well worth getting to know, thanks to Road Scholar.
