    So amazingly beautiful wild and free

    What a amazing tour not just do they know the horses some even by name and age but also do they know where they hang out most of the time and even better they help to preserve their environment. Donate to buy land for them and to protect them which not alor of buisness unfortunately do. We need to keep these beautiful creatures around and don't let over rich developers push them out and make it like every other beach town

    The driver was great Jeffery the vehicles were comfortable. And we was able to see horses which was awesome. And it was cool seeing the houses back on the beach. Just overall great experience

    So awesome! We had an amazing time and Bill was so entertaining. We got to see a ton of horses and learn cool facts about the island. Would totally recommend to anyone

    Wild horses in the dunes, Corolla, July 1, 2026

    Our tour guide, Richard, was terrific! The tour is educational and enjoyable. We went out on a 1230 tour in the middle of the week about 16 wild horses. (I suspect you might find more horses active earlier or later in the day, but we were very happy with the number we saw!) We watched one "harem" travel down from the dunes to the beach for some cool ocean breezes! Wild Horse Adventure Tours is very committed to educating visitors about the unique nature of the colonial Spanish Mustangs on the Outer Banks and how to treat them with this respect they need to continue to thrive. They stress the importance of not approaching the horses and not feeding them. These aren't zoo animals -- they are wild animals living on their own terms amid human encroachment. Beautiful and strong creatures!

    4/22/26 we had an amazing time. We saw 35 horses in total. Our tour guide Shorty was so knowledgeable and friendly

    The tour was awesome! Riding in the Hummer over the dunes and through the 4WD only section of the northern Outer Banks was so cool! We had great weather and saw loads of horses! Tour guide Mike was funny and did a great job of lining us up for good photos but also respecting the distance needed to keep the wild horses wild! Highly recommend, wear layers if it's cool!

    It's a chance you take when doing a tour like this but we had an amazing day and saw so many horses. The ride was comfortable and fun. It was a fun off-road adventure and money well spent in my opinion. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It was my favorite part of our week long vacation.

    The driver/guide was great. I'm sure on its best days, you can see wild horses galloping on the beach but the thing you don't know is that they're probably often found near a bunch of houses as well. There are sooo many houses. And they're just building more. Go check out the lighthouses instead and let the horses be.

    Harem of wild Spanish mustangs

    We managed to book a WHAT horse tour on a whim and we are so glad we did! Apparently the wild horse season ended the next day--11/30. Our tour guide Ned (Vehicle: Echo) was very knowledgeable, providing information on Corolla history/sites, local "lore" as well as wild Spanish mustang history. The complementary blankets were a nice touch and came in handy, considering the unseasonably cool temps and super windy weather (dress accordingly!). Driving on the 4x4 is quite the experience and--as Ned advised--there are rules. Spotting horses was a team effort. Drivers are in communication with each other on sightings and passengers are given many opportunities for photos. During our tour, we made around 30 horse sightings (hoof prints came in handy), some consisting of same harems and/or mustangs on the move. Surprisingly, the mustangs did not seem phased by our presence. We managed to see all 3 of the new foals birthed this year. Definitely well worth the money--unless you're staying on the 4x4, I'm not sure you would see horses any other way! Also, please remember to tip your tour guide!

    Had a group of 12 go out Friday May 8th. We had Tom as a tour guide, he was extremely knowledgeable and fun to have as a guide. He took us to his favorite spots and we saw a ton of horses also which was great. He was very engaging and I loved the history and facts he told us. I would recommend this company a million times again. We had an absolute blast and will for sure do it again if we make it back to OBX.

    Mr.mike was absolutely incredible , his teaching ability was outstanding everything was absolutely perfect. He made the whole tour beautiful and fantastic. Definitely will be coming back with more family !!!!

    Ask the Community - Wild Horse Adventure Tours

    Can my 86 year old mother who isn't the best walker be able to handle this tour or is it potentially too physical?

    My husband has a bad knee and he did the tour. She'll just need help getting into and out of vehicle. No walking on tour. Might want to see if she can have front seat.

    We had so much fun on our tour with Rick. Not only did he have so much knowledge about the area and…read morethe horses, he was also just a fun AF tour guide! We laughed so much, saw the most beautiful horses, learned about the horses and Corolla in general, and even saw some bald eagles!! If you're looking for a fun way to tour the beach, definitely book a tour! Plus, this group is actually working on protecting the horses!!! Some of the money from these tours go towards preserving land and caring for the horses (but only if absolutely needed, as we learned! For the most part, the horses are left completely alone unless it's life or death). A couple things for parents with young kids: The car seats fit perfectly, no issues at all. And they are able to see everything from their car seat!

    When the guide said this is usually a bucket list item for some people I didn't know what he meant…read more I just had wanted to see this to see the wild horses running on the beach. Never did I imagine that I'd get to see the horses living/roaming amongst the houses of Corolla Beach. I had no clue a community could exist like this and without going on the tour I never would have believed it. Geoff, our guide, was great and informative. He took us all around to make sure we could see horses. He told us all about how they're cared for and tracked (but not really tracked). It's amazing that there's so much involved to make sure the wild horses are treated well. There's a mutual respect between the horses and people. I fell in love with the community on Corolla beach and will be back to stay and watch the horses roam free. Definitely take a tour- it's so well worth it!

Reservations are necessary as even in November I could not believe how many people were taking this tour. The tour starts at there office approx. 15 minutes away from where horses roam. The hummer vehicles are operated with diesel engines which are loud making conversation a little trying. The driver uses a mick and two speakers located at front of vehicle. People in back rows had a very difficult time hearing driver. Tour begins with a drive on beach to arrive in dunes where horses are most likely found. This company has many vehicles running at same time and drivers communicate with each other when horses are located. Very interesting to see that these animals live amongst private home properties in the sand dune area. The drive can be a little bumpy at times as paths are all natural, no paved roads. After taking this tour I am so glad we did not attempt this on our own. These horses roam a large area and are hidden by dunes, brush and buildings. Besides the fact you need a vehicle to traverse loose sand. If your interested seeing wild horses in a natural environment this tour is worth your time and money. I do say that a better sound system in vehicles would enhance experience.

There are 75-100 wild horses on the sand dunes. The open air truck carries about twelve people. We wore seat belts because the trucks rolling in the sand gets very bumpy. Our driver, Gator, talked to us and answered our questions. I suggest he get a portable microphone so everyone can hear him, and the talk will be more informative. We drove up near the Virginia state line looking for horses. The tour last two hours. We enjoyed it.

We hopped in the modified Ford F-250 with outdoor seating and drive to the beach. Immediately we passed two wild Spanish Mustangs taking a stroll down the beach. Then we must have seen 40 more throughout the tour. We all loved it - it was more than just looking at horses, the drive down the sandy beach in the tour truck was an adventure in itself. Many of the horses were in the yards of the beach houses. The guests and residents here know the horses are the true land owners and the people are the ones permitted to be there :). FYI - it is a two hour tour. Half way through they stop at a park for a bathroom break and a leg stretch. We also brought a cooler with food and drinks.
