Wild Horse Adventure Tours

Best wild horse tour in the OBX! The staff are friendly and knowledgable and our family had an enjoyable and relaxing time touring the sand dunes. We even saw a foal! We felt safe the entire time in their bug hummer, and even our 12-​month old had a good time (they have safe hooks/​belts for children’s seats). Our tour guide RYAN was so fun and energetic, making everybody feel welcome and a part of the experience. Wild Horse Adventure Tours is worth every penny!

This trip made for a fun afternoon. Guide was very knowledgeable. Saw lots of horses! Worth the cost for the experience.

What a fun tour! I will admit that seeing the wild horses was not on my top ten list of things to do, but the large group I was with really wanted to go. It was such a neat experience and Ryan, our guide, was very friendly. When we saw the horses he turned the hummer around so both sides of the vehicle could get great pictures. We saw about 10−15% of the total horse population. Even if we didn’t see any horses the drive around the dunes was pretty sweet.

Fabulous tour! Uncle Dave was a great guide. We saw lots of horses! Several walking on the beach, grazing on top Of the dunes, drinking at the lake, and the most spectacular sight was smart with her 5 day old foal!!! Totally exceeded my expectations ! We even saw pods of dolphins along the ocean front. You will
Not be disappointed!

We recently stayed on the Outer Banks on Ocracoke Island for the week and do not regret making the hour ferry and 2 hour drive to do this tour. ‘Uncle Dave’ did a great job with commentary, driving through the sand, and making sure each side of the vehicle got a chance to see the horses.
It was fun to ride in the open-​air hummer down the beach and on the sand roads while enjoying the breeze from the ocean. The ride was very comfortable considering the terrain. I saw that other tour company vehicles had bench seats and I can’t imagine how my back would have felt after riding in one of their vehicles. I’m glad we chose Wild Horse Adventure Tours for that reason and of course the money-​back guarantee if you don’t see any horses!
We saw a few different herds of horses on our tour, definitely making it worth the money. If you have time to do this while in the Outer Banks, definitely see the horses with this tour company.

Amazing Adventure in the North area of the Outer Banks. Great way to see the wild Spanish horses and the Corolla beach area of OBX only accessible by a 4×4.
Kasey was an informative and energetic guide.
I would recommend this adventure!

Jake was a great tour guide. Ask for him. It was cool we saw Dolphins jumping in the ocean as a bonus. We also got to see two males spat a little over a female horse. Saw some in the ocean and natural habitat. Great trip. My girls loved it

Went on a 3:00 horse tour yesterday and loved it! The Hummer was very comfortable and easy to take pictures from. Andrew, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the history of the horses and the Outer Banks! We saw 3 harems of horses on the tour. If you think it might rain, bring a raincoat — you will get wet if you’re sitting on the outside!

Definitely recommend this tour if you are in the OBX!
We took the 10 AM tour. The website says to arrive 30 minutes early, however, due to some difficulty, we arrived at exactly 10 AM. The staff was very helpful, nice, and understanding, and kept in constant communication with me. we were just able to sign the waivers quickly and hop on the hummer as soon as we got there!
Our tour guide was Sam, and he was awesome! Only thing was the mic in the hummer wasn’t working, so poor Sam had to yell the whole time. But he still did a great job! We saw many wild horses, as well as scenery and Sam was extremely knowledgeable about history, horses, and the area.
The hummer was a smooth ride. As someone who gets motion sickness quite often, that was an added plus for me.
Once again, definitely recommend!

I took a tour yesterday at the 5:30pm time slot with tour guide Tommy Myles. Perfect weather and awesome tour! We ended up seeing a total of 28 horses, most of which where by the oceanside along the waterline. Absolutely stunning. The only minor complaint was I don’t think Tommy was expecting to see that many horses so he kept flying by them without ample time to snap a picture. Clearly with 28 horses to see I was able to get plenty of pictures still!

Our tour guide Wiley, did a great job educating us about the sanctuary, the horses, the laws, and the history, as well as how horses populations are controlled in the area. The ecopreservation going on in the area is making every effort to achieve a new a balance and making some decent wins in some areas but the burgeoning human expansion does dampen what once must have been a spectacular biome. By taking these tours provided a tourist stays safely and comfortably within viewing distance of the wild horses without violating the law, as opposed to what we saw other tourists doing in their own vehicles. The vehicles were comfortable and had wonderful viewing angles. One felt very secure and that the vehicle and driver was very capable of handling any terrain, which Wiley took us all over the 4WD beach and portions of what seemed like marsh-​land to look for the horses.

After visiting OBX for several years, we finally experienced the wild horses of Corolla through a guided tour with Wild Horse Adventures. Our guide, Dillon Baker, was fantastic! We had eight people (four kids ranging from 5 to 12 and four adults) and everyone had a wonderful time. Dillon was very knowledgable about the area and the horses’ diet, environment, and history. When he noticed that some tourists were trying to feed and pet the horses, he asked them politely to step back and stop. When they did not, he contacted the authorities. We were all impressed with his commitment to keeping these animals’ habitat and health a priority. Overall, a great time. We did a 10:30 am tour, but if it is going to be a hot and sunny day, I would recommend an earlier time. We were feeling the heat by the end of the tour and glad we had brought water and snacks. Dillon was also able to give us some great restaurant recommendations. A definite must for any OBX trip.

It was easy and fast to book at tour. When we got to the tour office we were quickly greeted and checked in. The tour guide was very knowledge-​able. We enjoyed the tour and would suggest it to anyone. The price was reasonable too. We saw a group of six wild horses then found 2 more before the tour ended.

Excellent way to see the beach and wild horses. Leslie is an outstanding guide and made sure we saw the horses.

Wild adventure horse tours, is an experience not to be missed. Most people don’t even know there are wild horses or a 4×4 beach to be seen!
I went last year in February with a friend, and the tour guide Dave, was knowledgeable, fun, and provided a really excellent tour. I enjoyed it so much in fact, I’m taking my husband when he gets home from deployment next month. The tour covers the beach, the history of the beach and the area, as well as the horses. One-​of-​a-​kind views and learning experiences. Recommended for anyone with an interest in wildlife preservation. Because we were on a tour that was small, we even had time to spin through and check out the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. Two thumbs way up!
2016 trip update: went out with Tom as our Tour Guide on March 4. We had a wonderful time! Suggest this for any part of the year. Rain or shine, if they’re running, you should be on this tour!

This is one hell of a good and fun ride. Our driver was hysterical and kept it very well informed about the wildlife and the horses that we were desperately seeking to find.
Luckily we did find different groups of horses and work right please and happy to see the horses in their natural habitat. This was a great and informative way to spend the day. Well actually it was only about two hours but it was definitely fun and kept us on our toes.
You wouldn’t think searching for horses would be hard but sometimes it is. To hire a basement we were pleased with the amount of wild horses we saw and it made the movie Rodanthe become more real and our minds.
What’s a girl to do? I love horses and I love seeing animals in their natural habitat.

If it’s the only thing you do in Corolla, it’s will make your trip worth it.
Ever since Labor Day, I’ve had to work seven days a week to complete a project for a major account and even had to cancel our vacation plans for Las Vegas. Finally came to a stopping point a week ago yesterday. Needing a break, I called the wife and told her to board the Corgi because we were going to the Outer Banks. She has always wanted to see the Wild Horses and even though it a 6 ½ hour drive, this was our chance for a long weekend.
Drove down Halloween and had made reservations with Wild Horse Adventure Tours on line for a tour on Sunday Morning. They ask you to sign a waiver which you can do on line which I did but my wife’s sign in did not work so we had to go early. No problem.
The tours is about 2 hours in length and with checkin and the like, figure on 2 ½ hours. You start out south of the Village of Corolla and drive till the paved part of NC Hwy 12 ends and from there, you’re in the sand, either on the beach or behind the dunes. That’s they reason they use 13 passenger Hummer’s because above the end of the pavement, only 4 wheel vehicles are allows and must be permitted.
Our guide was Mikey and not only is he a guide but a well known local photographer and since I am a photo nut, he was a great asset and set up a number of great shots.
All in all, we saw 10 horses. Most were Mares in small herds of 2 or 3 animals although we did see one young Stallion who had come out second best while competing with another Stallion for the attentions of a Mare. My wife said, «typical male» They had called a vet who was coming out on Monday and when we checked later in the week, he had been given antibiotics and permitted to return to the herd.
The horses are beautiful. You’re not allowed to pet or feed them because they are wild but that said, they are so used to people that you can drive fairly close to them without spooking them.
From what we were told, there are only around 84 horses in the Corolla herd with about 4 foles born each year. Their habitat is gradually shrinking as more vacation homes are built and their forage range get smaller each year.
It the end, this was a trip much needed. After weeks of stress, this was the perfect get away and I came back recharged and relaxed.

A group of nine of us went on tour yesterday. Our guide was Aubrey and she was wonderful. All nine of us agreed that the tour was fantastic.
Aubrey was friendly and full of good information about the horses as well as Corolla and even told us about the sea turtles. She did everything she could to ensure that we saw horses… and we did. We got to see several groups of horses on our two hour trip.
This tour was very well organized from start to finish and Aubrey made it fun for everyone. The price was fair and I would highly recommend it.

Awesome, my family took a tour on 8÷19÷2915 and we loved it. My kids are 6, 8, and 10 and they all had a blast. Dave is the best if you can get him!
The vehicle was clean and comfortable– way better than the other vehicles we saw in Corolla. Best tour company on the OBX!

Until this trip, I didn’t even know there were wild horses on the OBX. After I heard there were wild horses, I knew I had to take a tour. I’m glad I picked this company as I picked them because they had Hummers versus driving in a pick-​up. My tour was great. Gary, my tour guide, was very interesting-​funny with tons of facts about the horses. He knew where to find the horses and we saw quite a few. The tour is pricey, but well worth every penny. Go!
