5.00Excellent adventure- we were fully informed of the Banker horses and the local community. Our guide was raised in Corolla and had a number of stories that added depth to our tour.
More houses than horses ! Although we enjoyed our trip, we were disappointed with the excessive development of housing

4.00We assumed that this part of Corolla was protected and therefore plenty of viewing options for the wild horses. Of the 10-12 horses we did see, most were in front yards eating grass and seemed less than wild.
Horses & Dunes

5.00Edna, our tour guide & driver was excellent!! She gave us an historical background of the horses & the structure of their families. We were fortunate & saw about ten horses, including a “family” on the beach!! I also loved riding the big sand dunes of Corolla. It reminded me of the dunes if Fire Island when I was a kid 65 years ago.
Wonderful way to see the Corolla horses!

5.00There were 6 of us in our party. We all enjoyed the tour. Our driver/guide was Edna and she was great. Very knowledgeable about the history of the wild horses and the environment in which they live. We saw quite a few horses but were sad to see the development of their habitat. A bit strange to see a wild horse in someone's yard. Glad to hear there is a conservancy that is protecting this amazing animals. Would do the tour again and would definitely ask for Edna. She is a gem.
