He was very well informed, passionate about his work, and so much fun to listen to. The weather was not the greatest, but we had ponchos and blankets so it was all good. We saw lots of horses and had a great time. read less

The tour itself was very enjoyable. Out guide, Marshall, was knowledgable and a good driver on the dunes. We saw at least 4 harems of beautiful wild horses! Such majestic animals on a beautiful day - couldn't have been better! read less

Seeing the wild horses has always been on my bucket list of things to do, and I am so happy that my family and I took this tour. It was so amazing. Our driver Tom made sure we saw a lot of horses. He was very entertaining and told us about the history of the horses and the area. I cannot say enough positive things about him. He made sure he gave us enough time to take pictures and answered any questions we had. You ride in a Hummer with 12 other people, and it was very comfortable. I saw many other companies on the trails, and told my husband I was very thankful I wasn't touring with them. The people looked very uncomfortable riding in the back of trucks in plastic chairs! It didn't look real safe to me either. Wild Horse Adventure Tours is top notch and everyone there was wonderful. Back at my motel that night I actually told a couple about it, and they were going to go after I recommended it. Thank you Wild Horse Adventure Tours! I will never forget this beautiful experience, and I hope to come back soon. God Bless. read less

He was hilarious and knowledgeable about EVERYTHING! We were entertained with Horse/Wildlife/Nature facts, local history and folklore and even learned the secret of where to get the best seafood dinner on the cheap. :) We saw beautiful Wild Horses, a stubborn old Mule, Pelicans, frogs and even a woman and her Jeep, stuck waist-deep in a mud pit (Wiley knew just the right people to call to get her rescued, too).

It did take a while to find the horses (they do their own thing regardless of what we humans want...lol) but Richard really went out of his way to find them and to make the whole trip memorable. Driving on the beach for miles was an experience we won't soon forget and then to finally see 3 different groups of horses was the icing on the cake. Beautiful animals. So worth every penny. read less

Tom, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful, and had a great sense of humor. He answered all our questions, and was obviously driven to give us the best tour possible. The converted Hummer was comfortable and rugged, and every seat allowed viewing due to tiered design. We have no idea how many horses we saw, but 35 would be a good guess. This tour was worth every penny. Thanks, Tom! read less

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.
