Wild Horse Adventure Tours is a horse tour agency in Corolla, North Carolina. Want to see wild ponies and discover some of the most unique sights the Outer Banks has to offer? With our new, exclusive access to the Wild Horse Sanctuary, we take you through three distinct ecosystems in search of local wildlife and the Outer Banks Wild Spanish Mustangs. Our highly-trained tour guides tell stories of

legends, local lore, and ecology. The route takes you past the Whalehead Club and the Currituck Beach Lighthouse, commonly referred to as the Corolla Light. On our tours, we commonly see dolphins, and occasionally, we see fox, deer, and boar. Call our Corolla horse tour agency today to book your Outer Banks horse tour!

We regret sharing the following information and it grieves us to do so.

Update: while we understand, empathize, and share the sadness and frustration of many of these posts, we have decided to temporarily disengage the comment section.

We are grateful for so many impassioned supporters of the wild horses and the Corolla Wild Horse Fund.

This "family" shot is from our tour guide extraordinaire, Cheryl "Shorty." Seen here, baby Folly is growing like a (sea) w**d.

She was especially excited to find this harem, given that the last several days have experienced onshore winds.

Days like today, everybody loves being on the beach.

If you are headed out on your own, it's a great day for it.

A gentle but persistent reminder to drive safely in your 4-wheel drive vehicle, air down your tires, obey traffic patterns, maintain a 50 ft distance between you and the wild horses, watch for pedestrians and sunbathers, and be sure to give our drivers a friendly wave (or ear flap) as you go by! 👋

We so appreciate hearing about our guests' experiences with our tours. Check out this awesome Google review from Lesley B. for our tour guide extraordinaire, Geoff!

"We absolutely loved this tour! Geoff found us great views of the horses and had great information to share about them."

She was also able to catch this fantaaaaastic photo!

Yup. Even in the rain. Something admittedly unique about being on the beach during the rain, out there with just a few other salty souls and the horses.

Welcome back to Thursday's GREET THE GUIDES, where you'll get a little behind-the-scenes peek at this year's awesome team.

Meet Travis

Travis, of Portsmouth, Virginia, is one of our newest guides. He's a natural fit to the team, offering fun, engaging and informative adventures. Like many of us, Travis' favorite thing about giving tours is the opportunity to drive the beach and observe the beautiful horses, all while sharing the experience with our guests.

When Travis parks the Humvee and is off the clock, he most enjoys spending time with his sons, Dalton and Travis.
"Saturday morning vinyl records of old music over breakfast with my sons," he says, brings him the most joy. "Some scrambled eggs, sausage links and hashbrowns with cheese." He loves to fish and kayak and will, "get a good hour in the gym in the mornings along with a 15 minute sauna session."

We are so grateful to have Travis and his buoyant, open approach to touring as part of our W.H.A.T. all-star line up this year, "Was taught by the best," he adds.

You might think we are accustomed to seeing moments like this, and take them for granted. We don't.

This beautiful moment captured yesterday by our tour guide extraordinaire, Tom, was shared with us, creating a collective "awwwwww" throughout the office.

Great advice from Outer Banks Beyond  and JUST up the road from us!

Great advice from Outer Banks Beyond and JUST up the road from us!

Corolla photo tip: When you're here and you see bright Carolina blue skies intermingled with white puffy clouds, take a quick hop over to the Currituck Beach Lighthouse. The structure's unpainted red brick exterior blends so well and radiates with the splendor of this amazing piece of North Carolina history. Red, white and blue! And if the wind is blowing at a good pace, do a video of it with the passing clouds and changing lighting. Feel free to show us some of your Currituck Beach Lighthouse photos.

Our Story

We're currently taking extra precautions to adhere to state and federal guidelines for outdoor excursions. All vehicles are sanitized between tours and you'll have the option to request a no-contact check-in. Masks are required inside our gift shop/office and are optional, but highly recommended on tours.For bookings, questions about our operations, or would like a quote for a private tour, please give us a call!

Website: www.wildhorsetour.com Tour with us to find the Outer Banks Wild Spanish Colonial Mustang Horses and discover some of the most unique sights OBX has to offer. Our friendly and knowledgeable tour guides take you onto pristine northern beaches that are accessible only with a 4x4 off-road vehicle. Wild Horse Adventure Tours (W.H.A.T.) has been voted the #1 tour company in the USA and #1 "thing to do" in the Outer Banks by TripAdvisor. New for 2014, Wild Horse Adventure Tours is proud to offer Humvee Adventure Tours! Feel the ocean breeze and taste the salty beach air as you cruise the Outer Banks beaches in our exclusive OPEN AIR, 13-passenger Humvees with one of our seasoned guides in search of the Colonial Spanish Mustangs! With the added capabilities of our custom designed open air Hummer H1s, we venture into three previously inaccessible and distinct ecosystems teeming with wildlife of all types! New exclusive rights to the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Swan Beach allow us to view the horses in their natural environment. With more terrain, no two tours are ever the same; so if you like history, ecology, adventure, and quick-witted comedy, we have you covered. Our Hummer H1 vehicles have been customized with your safety in mind. All designs have been over-engineered to build the safest and most comfortable ride possible. The roll cage is built into the frame of the vehicle for ultimate protection. Seats have seatbelts and restraint systems for child seats. All seats are actual car seats -no boat-style bench seats or plastic bucket seats are used in our vehicles. An additional upper windshield with a top made with a combination of fine mesh and clear plastic enables occupants a 360-degree view while also providing protection from UV rays and unexpected inclement weather. After customization, the Humvee is capable of seating 13 passengers with more leg room than any standard SUV. Individual seats that are 21 inches wide (no bench seats), in a stadium seating configuration, offer ultimate comfort and visibility for all. Federal Protection of Horses: "On January 3, 2013, H.R. 126 was first introduced to Congress by NC Congressman Walter B. Jones. It failed to pass the senate that session. In June of 2013, it passed the House vote again (unanimously), and it now needs to pass the U.S. Senate to become law. Our hopes remain high. H.R. 126 is critical to the long-term survival of the Corolla wild horses, and it requires no additional funding from the federal government. YOU CAN HELP! Please contact your federal Representatives and tell them that you support H.R. 126 and want them to do so as well."
