Based on our experience with the Assateague (MD) ponies we knew there might be few to no sightings. Between the knowledge of our guide, Tom Baker, and the other spotter we found one young stallion on his own plus a pod of at least six horses. The Hummers are nice, comfortable vehicles for this type of tour. Since we a knowledgeable with wild ponies We had tons of questions on the differences between this herd and the others. Tom answered every question we had. This was a very enjoyable early season tour. Next time we will try April or mid-Sept to mid-Oct to view more horses and not compete with the summer rush. Oh, and Tom has the 411 on good eats in the area! read less dennisbL9443DW - Wild Horses of the Northern OBX Tom Baker did an awesome job...finding us a harem of horses...wonderful for this time of year!

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 cdkassotisAmazing History and Beautiful Horses This was a wonderful experience to see these horses in the wild environment of the sand dunes and forest area of Corolla, North Carolina.

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 Larry W - horsing around in Corolla this was really a pleasnt and enjoyable experience.

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.

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.

Our Hummer H1 vehicles have been customized with your safety in mind. All designs have been over-engineered to build the safest and most comfortable ride possible. Seats have seatbelts and restraint systems for child seats. All seats are actual car seats -no boat-style bench seats or plastic bucket seats are used in our vehicles. An additional upper windshield with a top made with a combination of fine mesh and clear plastic enables occupants a 360-degree view. After customization, the Hummer is capable of seating 13 passengers with more leg room than any standard SUV. Individual seats that are 21 inches wide (no bench seats), in a stadium seating configuration, offer ultimate comfort and visibility for all.
