What if you could explore a destination that's off the beaten path yet brimming with natural beauty and cultural treasures?

Discover the hidden gem of historic Onancock on Virginia’s Eastern Shore as we set sail with ecotour guides Mary and Bill Burnham, owners of Burnham Guides paddling shop.

Our guests share their insider knowledge of this waterfront town with historical architecture, a thriving arts scene, and the perfect backdrop for outdoor adventures like kayaking, biking, fishing, and sailing.

Paddle your way through history and nature on Onancock Creek, where Mary and Bill guide us on a memorable kayaking experience, discussing the area's rich wildlife and historical past.

The town's off-season charm is anything but dull, with wildlife watching and lively community events like oyster roasts and art strolls.

Join us as we unravel the magic of Onancock, where history, art, and nature come together to form one of Virginia’s Adventure Towns. Let’s Go!
