We had a blast. We saw a lot of horses and the donkey pretty quickly. We also were able to see one if the babies. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. read more

Overall it was a good experience. We saw many, many horses. I'm giving it a 3/5 because of the lack of information. We literally could hear nothing our tour guide was saying. I was hoping to learn more about the land and horse but nope! It was extremely windy and bumpy on the ride. No one warned us of this and we took our 1 year old on the it. I would have hoped someone booking the tours would have advised against this do to wind and extreme bumps. But again, it was overall a good experience in the end. Oh and the horses aren't that wild, they wonder around neighborhoods on houses and sand. read more

This was a lot of fun!!!! We rode for two hours in the open 4x4 truck. The horses were out and we got lots of pictures/videos of them. My kids loved it. Even if we did not see horses, riding along the beach and going off road in the 4x4 was fun by itself. The guide was funny and did a great job. I would highly recommend this! read more

This was a special experience. The tour guide was personable, fun and very experienced. While we did not specifically see any wild horses on the actual beach itself, we saw a ton spread throughout the 4x4 beach neighborhoods. It was a great experience and I would love to do it again read more

By luck we ended up on a wild horse tour with Bob's and we were not disappointed. Before leaving the storefront, we had the opportunity to meet Bob himself, and learned the history behind the business. Our guide Todd aka Hoss, was quite knowledgeable and found us four different groups of wild horses! The elevated, open air and canopied truck was perfect for spotting the horses. I would recommend this trip to anyone. read more

Bob's Wild Horse Tours - Tours Near Me - Corolla, North Carolina

My family and I decided to celebrate my birthday in Corolla. After much Internet Research, we choose to go out with Bob's Wild Horse Jeep tours and are so thrilled that we did. The guide was friendly, smart, kind and knowledgable. The "Beast" - a customized off road 4x4 van provided us with comfy seating and a great view for all. Ranging in age from 19 months to 75 years, our group included 3 kids, 3 adults and 2 grandparents. There was fun for all. Our driver was a skilled "horse hunter," which meant we saw almost 20 in at least 4 different spots. Despite being new to his job, we learned lots about the area and the horses. Great fun!! read more

There's no way these good reviews are legitimate. This company is unprofessional and knowingly robbing tourists. Could not wait for the joke of a tour to end. Bob has his phone calls intercepted so you can't complain that you didn't remotely receive the service you paid for but Scott encouraged me to write this review so here it is. You've been warned! read more

There are other options for wild horse tours and I would recommend choosing another one. The vehicle broke down an hour into the tour and the driver said it was the second time this week. They had to wait for a tow truck and another vehicle. A business like this should make sure they have vehicles in good running condition. They also separated our family and wouldn't let us go together even though they have 16 seats on a vehicle. I paid over $500 for tour and requested some money back. They said they would call me, still waiting. read more

For starters, if you are reading this review, you most likely checked out Bob's Website like my Girlfriend did and saw pictures of the pickup truck converted into a tour bus. VERY WELL DONE, but it appears that the moron writing reviews with the family of 13 and the wheelchair bound mother isn't smart enough to make sure that the "tour bus" is wheel chair accessible. Totally understand that they had a horrendous experience, but sounds like the blame goes to the MORON who wrote the review. It is very clear by the photos of the "monster truck" that the other moron couldn't get his fat ass up on, is only an F150 with a customized bed to sit 12. Wonderful way to see the back roads of Corolla without getting stuck in the sand like 25 SUVs did. We saw about 15 horses roaming and grazing in the back yards of the vacation houses there. If you have a bad back, don't sit in the back row. If you have a SUV, remember 1 thing!! AWD is NOT 4WD; LMAO. What makes you guys with your fancy SUVs think that you have 4WD. You have AWD with ALL WEATHER TIRES. It is NOT a Sport Utility Vehicle. It is a car with All Wheel Drive. The tour was great and less expensive than the HUMMER with more comfy seats. read more

Travesty in my opinion- the brochure outright misrepresents this "wild" tour in my opinion.. We were all fooled at $50 each. This company has a photo of wild horses sitting along this epic shoreline amongst sand dunes. In reality, the drive on the sand along the shoreline is more like a sand highway with tons of truck traffic, people fishing along the shoreline, not a wild horse in sight for miles. Finally we come to a sandy neighborhood of beach homes and there are horses in backyards, front yards, driveways, puddles and even a few behind a roped in fence- there was so much traffic, our driver couldn't even slow down long enough for us to get any good photos - nothing wild about what we saw- just a huge, boring disappointment and I have plenty of REAL photos to back up our experience - plus the driver had to speed along the bumpy sandy beach to get back within our 2 hour timeframe allotted to this excursion. We all almost lost our lunch! Big waste of time and money- in my opinion. The only fun we had was making jokes about how awful the excursion was. If the brochure had described this place honestly, we would have NEVER paid to do this. And to top it all off, I complained to owner via phone and email, expecting an adjustment of some amount on this terrible experience and I never heard back- inconsiderate. read more

Booked for 4 people the put us at 2, due to the construction on the one lane rd In we where 6 min late to our 9 o'clock. They canceled us! Then had the bad form to tell us they would not reschedule. After a 2 hr trek to get there and road construction and just avid meanness. Wow it's 220$ to see wild horses. Go to the beach and see them yourself read more

Had the best time on this tour. The seats were way more comfortable than I expected and I haven't laughed that hard in a while. We sat in the back so it was like a horse tour and amusement ride all in one. The guide was excellent and we saw lots of horses. I'm really glad we went this route instead of the Hummer or Jeep tour after seeing the seats on them. read more

The service offered was really cool. You and 12-15 other people pile into the back of a safari truck and go driving down the beach where only 4WD vehicles can access it. You go driving through the dunes and it's quite the adventure. My only two issues were that first, it's more of a wildlife tour than a wild horse tour. We did see horses, but we spend more time driving down the beach looking at the houses and the ocean than we did driving through the dunes looking for horses. Secondly, our tour guide was driving like a mad man on the beach while we were heading home. He was definitely exceeding the 15 MPH speed limit and the ride was super bumpy. read more

We were visiting KDH this past weekend and decided at last minute to take a Wild Horse Tour. We called a couple of the tours and got answering machines. We decided to drive to Corolla and take a chance. Stopped at two places, one was full and other was closed. As last chance we called Bob's and a very nice lady actually answered the phone. She had four seats left so she took our information on the phone and we got there just in time for the tour. Our guide Jeff was fantastic. He lives in the area so he was very knowledgeable about the horses. We saw lots of horses on the beach even two of the new fouls that were born this spring. Our friend that was with us is a photographer and very interested in getting great shots of the horses. Jeff offered to stop any time to get photos. He answered our questions too Bobs went above and beyond to get us on the tour. I would recommend Bob's Tours to my friends. read more

Saw a lot of horses. Driver was pretty knowledgeable. Was put on the monster truck. Was not told this on the phone when booking tour. One person in the party couldn't get on and had to stay back. Also, very bumpy and uncomfortable. Overall not worth the money. read more

This tour is more about the houses than the horses. It would have been nice to learn a bit more about the diet and the day to day rituals of these animals but instead we learned that there over 900 houses but only 100 residents. read more

Extreme pain wild horse tour - These tours should not be held in 30-40 degree weather with kids and adults aboard alike. The management has a responsibility to cancel tours - or at least paint the real expectation up front with an offer of a full refund - in this type of weather particularly when the horses were not out on the beach due to the wind (as our driver told us) and with the open styled trucks that have no protection for the customers on the truck. This was an extreme styled tour and the owners need to check their conscious letting kids 8 and under be exposed to that type of condition. The driver even said we were crazy coming out and expected us to cancel. If I had known how fast they would drive in the wind and cold with no protection - like the Hummer tours - we would have cancelled. That was not worth the money but I would have forfeited the $300 had I known what we were about to go through. We also emailed the owners the day before the trip to see what we should expect with vehicle and the forecasted cold weather - and no response. Fail. read more

The only thing lacking was info from the driver. We had questions about the horses and there was very little communication. I noticed that other drivers were miked and could talk to folks in the truck. read more

This is our 3rd vacation in Corolla but the first time ever going on a horse tour. Our guide Davidson was awesome and super knowledgeable about everything related to the horses and the 4x4 beaches. We were able to see at least 30 while we were out there. Thank you!!!!! read more

My family and I booked this tour online during our vacation this past summer. There were 11 people in our party. There was another party of 6, and yet another with 8. There were 2 touring vehicles. One with a 12 seat capacity and another larger one with a capacity of 16 seats. If you do the math, you can easily see that all parties could have easily sat together with their own party for the tour. The staff at Bob's provided no direction when it was time to board, which somehow resulted in one party being split between two buses. However, our party was in tact on the smaller bus. The split party went back inside and complained to the woman behind the counter. She came outside and instructed us to get off the smaller bus so that the other party could sit together. We did, only to realize that now our party was split in two. We raised the issue to the woman, who proceeded to boldly and rudely make excuses saying that we were the last to arrive so we would have to be split up. When we told her we had booked online the night before, she came up with another excuse. The woman took on an authoritarian demeanor, as if she were on a power trip. I should mention now that our party was the only party of the 3 that was African American. It quickly became clear she was not interested in trying to accommodate both parties, just the white one, and at our expense. Now remember what I said about the math in this scenario. At the time of boarding, we were not aware of the size of the complaining party. But we knew we had 11 and the smallest party had 6. Both buses departed and arrived at our first stop on the beach. By the time we arrived, I had figured out the math, so I asked a few people to swap places so that ALL parties could sit with their own party. They all graciously obliged, even remarking that they didn't understand why we had been split up in the first place if the solution had been this simple all along. The tour continued on, but I found it impossible to enjoy after the treatment we experienced from Bob's staff. This is to say nothing of the fact that the driver of the bus I was on was texting or otherwise using his phone while driving to the beach (and not for talking). In my state that is illegal. I'm not sure about NC, but I do know that it's not safe no matter what state you're from. The tour was also ridiculously bumpy. If you have a weak stomach, think twice about eating before you go. When we returned, I went in to speak with the woman behind the counter. She and her teenage counterpart continued to tell me that it was impossible for all parties to sit together, and that they tell people that parties may be split when they book. I reminded them that we booked online and there was no mention of that online. The older woman admitted they had not updated the website. I then told her that she had not even tried to accommodate all parties and that the way she handled the situation was deplorable. If she had taken a few moments to do the math, she would've figured out that all parties could remain in tact. She then began blaming the drivers, saying that they were responsible for seating arrangements. Funny how during the tour after I asked folks to swap places, the drivers made a point to apologize for our mistreatment, saying that it was the front counter staff's responsibility to make seating arrangements. I then told her that I had rearranged the parties during the first stop on the beach and everyone was able to sit with their party. Only then did she acquiesce. Bottom line. I do not recommend this tour company. They are heavy into the blame game and do not understand the concepts of teamwork, personal responsibility, and true customer service. They also do not know how to accept constructive criticism. They are only interested in dollars and cents and expending the least amount of effort to get paid. read more

Great tour, the driver was very knowledgable and we saw about 20 of the approximately 100 horses.

Bob was rude and doesn't believe in being considerate to his potential customers, even if you already have a reservation. Speaking of reservations, the process to make one was painful. We got several emails stating the wrong date and the wrong number of people in our party. The day to drive the 5 easy miles to their location came upon us and we rallied to our cars. As soon as we were pulling out from our driveway we got a call saying our tour was canceled. We were given no other information and we were not called back so we drove up. In person we were given conflicting information regarding the situation and what could be done for us. We waited for the owner for 1 1/2 hours and that was the ultimate treat. He gave us three different excuses for our cancelation and none of them make sense. They had a plethora of vehicles there under different business names and were just sitting in the parking lot. We were told that the truck we were promised was broken down, but we saw the very same car (described to a T) pull out with a party at our reserved time. Horrible business and a horrible business man. Do not trust Bob. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. the absolute worst experience! we scheduled a day in advance putting down a deposit to reserve a vehicle large enough to fit 15 people, 4 of which were excited small children and scheduled our entire day around this. we received a phone call as we were all pulling out of the drive way that they cancelled our reservations. his employees were rude and unprofessional. when we finally spoke to Bob, the owner he was also extremely rude referring to our group as "you people" and telling us he was NOT going to do anything to accommodate us for our inconvenience. they told us originally that the vehicle we were specifically going in was broken down, to find out that they gave our vehicle to another group because they arrived before us. I would not recommend this company nor will I ever give them my business as we come to the outer banks every year with a group of this size or larger. Bob is a dick. read more
