A Must on the Outer Banks!

This was such an awesome unique experience. I’ve personally been around horses and ridden horses many times but to see them in the wild is definitely a new experience. My kids had a lot of fun on the hummer ride right on the beach. Loved our guide and his silly pirate jokes.

Great Tour!

This was our first trip to to the Outer Banks and one of the few "experiences" we had planned. I was really looking forward to this and my husband was quite skeptical. By the end of the tour he was amazed and had a great time! We cannot say enough good things about our tour guide Stu. Very knowledgeable not only about the history of Corolla and the horses.

Bucket List - Check!

Really fun ride on the sandy beaches and lanes of this wild horse sanctuary. Stu rocks as a tour guide, being very knowledgeable and a great guy. We saw lots of horses and learned a lot. Highly recommend. It was early November so appreciated being layered.

Best Thing To Do in OBX

This was our second time doing this tour with Richard and it was the highlight of our trip! He is such a great guide and we saw several groups of beautiful horses. He does a great job of explaining the laws that help keep the horses safe and is very passionate in his job! Can't wait to come back again.

Worth the Money

Agree with all the other reviews. This tour is absolutely worth the extra money. Our tour guide was amazing and WORKED IT to find the horses for us on our tour. Thanks for the tip to bring a warm coat! Phenomenal tour.

A Real Adventure!

Great tour! Nice and knowledgeable staff. Well worth the investment. We appreciated the fact that the owners and our guide were locals to the area. Our guide Stu really cared about the preservation and protection of the wildlife in Corolla. Highly recommend this company! Thank you for the anniversary experience!

Not Your Average Drive

Sit back and enjoy the exhilarating ride down a 4WD beach with the wind blowing through your hair and the surf by your side. Our guide Karen was great, her driving skills are amazing. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Although I did not see the picturesque bucking mustangs on the beach, this was an AWESOME tour. Definitely recommend!

Awesome Tour!

Excellent tour for those who want to learn about the wild mustangs and see Corolla. Rode onto the beach, which was amazing and found tons of horses. Richard did an excellent job teaching us about the history of the horses and the local area. Would highly recommend this tour for the learning experience and seeing horses that come from 500 years ago.
