The tour/tour guide was great. We got to see lots of horses and he taught us a lot about the history of the horses and the small towns between Corolla and the Virginia border.

This is a must do while in the Outer Banks. The history of these lovely animals deserve the respect they receive and thank you lovely dears for the care and protection that you give them. Please remember they are not pets and admire them from a distance so they stay in their nature.

I was concerned we might not see a lot of horses based on reviews of other tour operators but these guys ARE THE BEST!!! As they own their own multi-acre reserve in Corolla on the beach you’re guaranteed to see what you’re hoping to see - Lots of wild horses!!! While they’re on some on the beach you’ll see with the other operators you’ll see way more in the preserve. Our friend had been on 2 other trips with different tours and said this was by far the most horses she’s ever seen. Our guide Paul was friendly, knowledgeable, funny and very engaging and accommodating. You won’t be sorry booking here.
