Cold fun in December

5.00It was cold but our guide had blankets for us, which other tour companies did not have. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area, local wildlife and the horses. He also had a good sense of humor. On the last tour of 2025 we were able to see many horses, deer and dolphins. It was a great trip! If you’re going on the tour in December bring winter gear!
Loved seeing the horses, my favorite part. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable.

5.00Our second time taking this tour with this company, 10 years apart, and it was just as great as we remembered. The trucks are comfortable and the guides are very knowledgeable and nice. We saw a lot of horses this time and even had one jump the fence and come up close and personal. We will definitely be back!
Amazing Tour!

3.00Our tour guide was like a speed racer! Was hard to look for horses when she was going so fast. When we did see horses she didn’t even see them and they were right in front of us!
Worth the bumpy ride and the cold wind

5.00Craig was an amazing guide. The tour was super informative. Fun. And we literally went on every "side road" to find as many horses as possible. We found a ton.
Awesome!!! We got to see 25-horses

5.00Great tour guide, very informative and full of knowledge on the horses and area. It was a delight to see the horses in their own environment. An added bonus when we saw six of them on the beach, our guide noted this was unusual this time of year.
