    The timing is right with this place! I came to Corolla with a group of friends this weekend and stayed at a beach house. We decided to go adventuring to see what was open in this "ghost town" of a city during the winter season. We came across this jacked up "jeep" and saw that it was a wild horse tour. We immediately did a U turn and came inside. Found out it was only $39/person, $34 for military or senior citizen and they could take us right then. It's normally $50 a person in the summer. Bill was our tour guide and he was wonderful! Very funny, very knowledgeable of the horses and where to find them. The tour was 2 hours long and was absolutely worth it! We ended up seeing 10 horses total. We were able to take tons of pictures. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!

    The horses were not the problem. They are wild animals, and no tour company can control where they…read moreare or what they're doing. We saw about 10 horses, including a family group, and appreciated the opportunity to see them. The problem was the guide, who turned what should have been an exciting wildlife experience into an unpleasant one. From the start, he told us he was tired because he had already done four tours that day and that he would "try." Unfortunately, that lack of enthusiasm was evident throughout the entire tour. Instead of feeling like welcomed guests, we felt like an obligation. The way he interacted with people was especially disappointing. He belittled another guest, spoke to me in a condescending manner when I briefly used bug spray on my neck, and created an atmosphere that felt judgmental rather than educational. Most troubling were his comments dismissing conservation efforts for the very wildlife this tour is built around. A guide leading visitors to see Corolla's wild horses should understand and respect the work that protects these animals and their habitat. This was not a case of unrealistic expectations about wildlife. It was a case of poor guiding, poor communication, and a lack of respect for guests. The horses were beautiful. Unfortunately, the guide made the experience one we will not remember fondly.

    Very nice attraction. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the horses…read more It was nice getting to see the wild horses along with the different areas of the outer bank beach area. If you'd like a nice scenic horse and outer banks tour this activity is for you!

    This was a neat experience. This company requests an arrival 30 minutes before your reservation…read morewhich I see now the necessity for. 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.

    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!
