I paid $50 to take a boat tour around a beautiful island in Virginia filled with wild ponies. It should be on everyone's bucket list.

I recently visited Chincoteague Island in Virginia and went on a boat tour.
I paid $50 for a two-hour tour and saw lots of feral ponies and other wildlife.
Though it rained during the tour, it was a great experience that I'd definitely do again.

I love exploring places that fulfill my desire to get away without depleting my bank account. Eager to enjoy the outdoors after a chilly spring, I decided to book a trip to Chincoteague Island.
