Tom Baker “The Outlaw” was our guide-he knows the area so well and also shared many interesting facts and history, but especially he knows where the horses hang out.

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 lessBunny112019Great tour!

Dipping over dunes, around rain puddles and brackish water, Mike told the story of how the horses got here. he says he only got lost once while training. Mike shared how some of our admission fee goes to help this tour company buy up land to preserve the wild horse habitat. He shared why the horses have white spots on their backs , horse harems, and how the horses stay so well groomed. Mike answered all of our questions and showed us some 'special' beach houses we wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Special kudos to Giovanni the receptionist for returning my call and correcting my reservation error. So glad this company is still giving tours as many of the other horse tour companies are closed for the season or were not available that Sunday. the company also referred us to a great restaurant in the next shopping center that opened at 11 am. Calling ahead to ask what time they opened. Excellent service from all! read less Trek481688

We have been on other horse tours and thought this was the Cadillac of the bunch. The seats were very comfy and they even provided blankets because it can be a chilly ride.
Stu was our tour guide and he was awesome. Very knowledgeable about the area and the horses. We saw about a dozen horses behind the dunes and one near the beach. Stu identified a few of the horses as bachelors and yearlings. He also explained the pecking order within the herd and how the stallions acquire their harem. .

From the unique Hummer vehicles that only this company uses to the private land they own which is perfect for seeing horses and not disturbing home owners and guest to this unique part of the Outerbanks. But what really makes this company great are the tour guides it hires. We had DAN and he was by far the best tour guide I have ever had and I have done many of these tours with different companies.

Our friends loved it and we were suitably impressed. Stu was our driver and he knew where to look for horses. He knew the names of the stallions and how many were in several of the harems.

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.
