This experience was so much fun! We saw lots of horses up close, sleeping, eating, moving around. It was magical. Our guide Craig was amazing, lots of good history and information and answered all the questions.

Today was the perfect time to take the Wild Horse Tour. The weather was beautiful. We saw 30-40 horses and one baby. Our guide Craig was knowledgeable and lots of fun.

We learned so much about the wild horses, how they are monitored and the lifestyle of living on the island. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.
