Our Guide Dan was very informative about the history of the wild horses and the area and had a great sense of humor. He made sure that both sides of the hummer got a chance to take pictures. We saw somewhere between 20-25 horses and even the donkey Raymond. We saw a baby as well and a water moccasin in a small pond area. It was one of the best experiences we have ever had and hope to get down here and do it again. read less

The humvee was comfortable and provided a safe and great atmosphere to see the horses. Our tour guide Stu did a great job navigating the sand roads. He provided education and answered any questions that we had. We were able to see about 10-15 horses and 1 donkey :) on our tour.. The tour lasted 2 hours and was a fun experience that my whole family loved. The only negative was the weekend we went it was freezing and the OBX winds were strong (not there fault though) the company did provide blankets to try to keep us warm which I thought was a nice touch to there outstanding service. If your doing this tour outside of the summer months I would suggest a warm jacket with hood. More read less

Marshall was informative and did all he could to help find the wild horses.

As these wild horses have thousands of acres to roam, each tour is a new adventure. (I have been on regular, group tours before. ) Because I wanted space to shift seats/sides to take photographs, I opted this time for a private tour.

We really enjoyed Marshall's information and the freedom to ask questions galore after each presentation, since there were only 2 of us with Marshall. He also did his best to give the best opportunity for photos, as the horses are sometimes near/behind trees/brush/houses and off at a long distance. (FYI, there are rules/laws governing how close vehicles can get to the wild horses, too, and when a vehicle can stop.)

Thank you, Marshall!

PS I attach some photos I took under various conditions and lighting conditions. I am NOT a professional photographer, but photography is a hobby that keeps me active and interested in the nature around me. read less

When the Hummer started rolling, they were laughing, taking pictures, and were super excited. They both said that it was SO much better than they ever thought it would be. The ride on the beach and hills was bumpy and fun! Riding next to the ocean was beautiful and not something people without the right vehicle could do on thier own. We saw many horses interacting with one another and walking on the beach! Wiley was a fantastic host!! I highly recommend this tour and Wiley for a unique, educational adventure! read less

The online reservation & check in process was quick & easy. In addition they went out of their way to make sure the assigned seating accommodated all guests & blankets were provided to keep us warm in the cool spring air. Our driver Stu shared a great wealth of knowledge regarding the history of the herd & made it his job to provide everyone with plenty of photo ops! We saw many wild horses both on the beach & behind the dunes but the highlight was a mare & her new foal! So glad we made time for this tour! Highly Recommend! More read less

I researched several of the tour companies before booking with Wild Horse Adventure Tours and I'm glad I did! The Hummer had comfortable seats and were arranged so all on board had a good view. Tom was very enjoyable and has a wealth of knowledge about the area and the horses. He knew most of the horses we saw by name and showed a deep respect and concern for their welfare. We saw several harems throughout the dunes and grazing in yards and were so glad to see a harem on the beach on our way back from our adventure. Would definitely recommend this tour to others!

We saw 4 groups of horses each with 4-5 horses and even saw a phillie. We saw horses on the beach and behind the dunes. Marshall was a great tour guide. He was pleasant, friendly, and knowledgeable of the areas we toured and the horses. We got a bonus as the dolphins were very active the day we were there and while dolphins are not part of the tour, Marshall stopped to let us watch them a few minutes before continuing the search for horses. It is well worth the money spent. read less

Prior to the trip, I was a little bit nervous, because we were bringing my parents (my dad's 82, and my mom was celebrating her 80th bday), and, having never taken the tour before, I wasn't sure if the 4WD tour it would be a little too intense for them. I should not have worried, though. My parents LOVED it! My mother said it was the best 80th birthday experience she could have asked for! She was grinning from ear to ear when we got out of the vehicle.

I was also a little bit worried at the beginning of the tour, because Tom, our wonderful guide, said that March and April are iffy times to see the horses, since they often migrate to areas that are out of reach during those months. But, again, I shouldn't have worried. Tom is an expert at finding the horses, and we saw several harems as we drove throughout the dunes and remote communities. That was actually part of the fun -- in order to locate the horses, which were not on the beach that day, we had to drive way down the beach then into the dunes, where there are some remote dwellings, accessible only by 4WD vehicles. Tom said that many of the houses are summer rentals, but about 150 people actually live there year-round! I can't imagine living so remotely, with no businesses or services, but apparently some hearty types love it. Seeing the houses, dunes, and imagining the lifestyle out there was really fun and interesting. And one of the herds we saw was grazing right in someone's front yard!

The horses are beautiful, and searching for them is fun -- kind of like a scavenger hunt. You never know where you'll find them! And it will be fun to take the tour again in the future, because each time will be different.

Also, as others have said, this is by far the best company offering wild horse tours. Since it's all off-road, what could have been a very bumpy, uncomfortable ride was actually just bouncy fun. These vehicles are very comfortable, with bucket seats, and custom designed in a way to mitigate the bumpiness, so that you just have fun bouncing in comfort. The rows are staggered "stadium style", so that there are clear views, even if you sit in the back row (we were in the middle row and had no trouble seeing everything clearly). We passed some other companies' tour vehicles, and the passengers looked SO uncomfortable, sitting on hard bench seats (ouch! I can't even imagine bumping through the dunes on those), or on plastic chairs in the bed of a truck (that didn't even look safe!). I don't know what the price difference is, but whatever it is, it is worth it to use Wild Horse Adventure Tours!

We loved our tour and can't wait to go again! read less

Our tour guide Kelly was very knowledgeable and super friendly. We were glad we chose this company over the others based on the vehicles used, the hummer was not only fun to ride in but also felt super secure on the rough terrain. The hummer also offered comfortable seating and excellent views. We got to see several groups of horses.

Such majestic animals on a beautiful day - couldn't have been better! read less
