We made a reservation for three and showed up to find 4 hummers - the group split into smaller groups within those 4 (our group stayed together), each getting their own driver/guide. They drove out to the beach (about a 15-20 min drive), and then right out onto the sand, driving down and stopping for a brief lecture about the rules of how close we can get, etc. From there we were largely on our own - the four vehicles split up for the majority of the tour. Our guide, Dan, was amazing. He was super knowledgeable, funny, and was amazing at finding spots with horses and then giving both sides of the vehicle ample opportunities to get pictures of them. Above all, super good about keeping the proper distance from the horses, and talked to us about the threat of the new homes being put up and how it has impacted how the horses behave - particularly in bad weather. We overall saw probably 20-30 horses and got some amazing photos and experiences. One of the coolest things we've done! read less

The history of these horses dates back to 500 years ago when the Spanish landed for exploration and they couldn’t take the horses back so they left them. These horses are the descendents that have adapted and thrived over the years, allowing their bodies to grow accustomed to the salt, sand, foliage, and ocean environment of North Carolina. We were a group of 10 family members who basically took up one of the Hummer vehicles they used. Richard was our guide, and very courteous to us as well the protection of the horses. While these horses live in the dunes and forest area of the northern part of the outer banks, the expansion of homes and people into the area are threatening the existence, and the lives of these horses. We actually witnessed some little kids trying to pet and play with the horses, but because of the lack of interaction with people they can be very dangerous. People may try feeding them with items that could disrupt their normal diet and cause them harm, or they may think the horse is safe and may actually get physical in the interaction. Our Guide alerted the local officials to what was going on as he loves and is trying to protect these animals for future existence. In was about a 2 hour tour and we saw a beautiful area along the beach and in the dunes where they tend to reside. We saw about 35 horses which is about a third of their population and definitely recommend if you’re visiting North Carolina and this area. read less

We respected the horses' space, but still got great close views - they weren't bothered at all. I highly recommend these tours given in such perfect vehicles for the job. And, lots of little things too to make sure you were comfortable. read less

We booked our tour with Wild Horse Adventure Tours and drove up to Corolla to join our 1:30 excursion. We arrived a half hour early (as we had been instructed) and enjoyed looking around at all the goodies in the gift shop. Right on time, we were loaded on the 13 passenger Hummer and provided with blankets to keep us warm. Tom Spillane, our guide and driver, explained where we were going and what we could expect to see. After a short drive, we arrived at the 4-wheel-drive beach and began our search for wild horses. Throughout the tour, Tom gave us so much information about the horses, their origin and their history we felt we had all learned quite a bit. Our tour took just about 2 hours and we saw much of that portion of the OBX and spotted about a dozen or more horses. One little foal actually came very close to the vehicle and we sat still until he moved safely away.

The day was beautiful (if chilly and windy) the beaches pristine, the horses beautiful and the day a complete success. read less

The tour guide, Stu, was great - telling a lot of stories about the horses and answering all questions. We got to see a bunch of the horses and enjoyed the rest of the scenery as well. The Hummer was extremely comfortable to ride in, especially compared to the pickup trucks of the other tour companies. The staff at checkin was also very helpful and offered plenty of lap blankets to keep us warm on the cold day. Truly loved the tour and it was well worth the cost. read less

We learned about the interesting history of the outer banks of North Carolina, the wild horses and preservation of the area. We spotted numerous wild horses, a couple playful pods of dolphins in the ocean and a some washed up sea creatures. A great adventure and a super tour guide, Ryan Riley. He educated us, drove us over some exciting dunes and made sure we saw the wild life from multiple views. Advice: make sure you and your children don’t drink before you depart, no bathroom stops during the 2 hour adventure and dress warmly (they do hand out blankets) but think ahead so your adventure can be as great as ours was. Thank you, Ryan! read less

Driving in pouring rain on a cold day in a Hummer with no sides would sound like a ruined day. It was anything but.

After all our safari mates were onboard, Tom gave us a brief summary of what we were all going to possibly experience. As he took off in the super duper Hummer he would talk to us about the island, the horses, history of the horses and outer banks. The trip exceeded our expectations and we saw many lovely mares and stallions, along with a few young horses that were born this year. The fact that this company not only seems to have the most knowledgeable guides, vehicles (complete with warm blankets), it also cares about these horses and takes the initiative to help preserve these magical animals and their habitats by purchasing land for them.
Also, after the unfortunate incident of losing my car keys, this dear sweet “Outlaw”’, Tom, drove us down to Nags Head to our hotel to wait for an emergency shipment of our spare key to be mailed to us from Western North Carolina.
How can we thank you, Tom? Thank you so very much for your wonderful tour and your generosity! We plan to be back and probably bring more of our family with us. read less
