Great Experience - My family and I were vacationing in the Outer Banks from NJ. I have never seen wild horses roaming a beach. It was fantastic and definitely the highlight of our trip. Our tour guide, Kathy, is terrific. She is friendly, informative, and knows where the horses hang out. The price is fair and worth the trip. The only recommendation I have that the would be better with front facing seats. :)

Great tour, great tour guide, beautiful horses! - Our tour guide (Edna and her dog Lil Joe) was awesome! She was local to the area and extremely knowledgeable about the wild horse population. The wild horses were beautiful and we even got to see one of the newer foals! My mom and I had a wonderful time and will recommend this tour to anyone we know visiting the area!

Corolla Wild horse tour - Was interesting to learn of the origin of these horses and how they now survive in Corolla. Saddened by how little land is left for them. Glad they do have the some sanctuary.

Save your money - The truck that we were on was not the truck on the advertisement. This truck was an old pickup with two metal benches facing each other screwed to the back. We were thrown around and by the end my back and neck hurt. It’s been two days and I’m still in pain. Dave your money and drive yourself around Corolla
