Nicole L. had herself a DAY with our tour guide extraordinaire, Ezra!

Check out what she had to share on TripAdvisor--"He was absolutely amazing! I learned so much about the history, area, food, and natural habitat of the Spanish horses. He made sure and worked very hard the entire time making sure we saw horses. We were even able to see the three week old baby! He did an excellent job navigating and narrating the entire time. He drove great and it was so interesting to hear about the locals and the tides with driving on the beach. I would for sure do this tour for a third time ! Thank you!"

And if we couldn't have loved this review alone, look at the photo she included...🥹

Thanks for joining us, Nicole!

Our tour guide extraordinaire, Cheryl "Shorty" Short bringing us another amazing moment to relish on this fine Thursday morning. She offered some insight as to what might have been happening in this moment.. but then went with, "I'd say that they are just horsein' around " 😆

The Portuguese Man o' War is a highly venomous marine siphonophore--not a jellyfish--that floats on the ocean surface using a gas-filled bladder.

Its long tentacles can deliver a powerful, painful sting to prey and humans, and it is found in tropical and temperate oceans worldwide. ....and along the beaches of Corolla this weekend. 🪼 Careful out there, y'all.

It’s hokey, but the old adage about loving what you do not only holds true for us, but it speaks volumes. "Last month, we were honored to be nominated as one of The OBX Voice’s BEST OF THE BEACH 2025." says Charles Lister, office manager for Wild Horse Adventure Tours. "So, imagine how excited we were to find out we’ve been voted the #1 horse tour company for 2025."

For the last 18 years, Wild Horse Adventure Tours has been offering educational and entertaining horse tours in the four-wheel-drive area of Northern Corolla. In addition to enjoying our guests on an everyday basis, we take pride in the fact that we are active proponates for the horses, their environment, and the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. “Our guides pour their hearts into giving the best experience possible, while advocating for the preservation of our herd,” says Grady “Tree” Cole, lead tour guide for W.H.A.T. “so being recognized for our efforts feels really good and is definitely appreciated.” In addition to utilizing best practices in our day-to-day touring, W.H.A.T. seeks to protect the horses and their habitat by purchasing and owning land in the Swan Beach area for the specific purpose of offering a sanctuary for the horses and other wildlife that thrive on the Outer Banks.

One of our 2-hour tours is, by design, a streamlined, fluid experience. From the unique thrill of riding in one of our modified Humvees--kept in tip-top condition by our lot wizards, led by Rob L., who brings over 40 years of auto-mechanic experience to our company--to our friendly, cohesive office team, it speaks to the culture of the company when you have staff returning year after year. Dan Lane, a nine-year fixture in the W.H.A.T. tour office says it best, “I’ve found that the management at W.H.A.T. is fundamentally serious about protecting and promoting the safety of the horses,” and he goes on to add, “for my entire tenure here, that goal has never changed and the people here have never waivered in their dedication.” Plus…we have a heck of a lot of fun together.

All of us here at Wild Horse Adventure Tours thank you for your vote of confidence and we will continue to do our best to hold ourselves to your standard.

We congratulate Corolla Outback Adventures and Bob's Wild Horse Tours , second and third place, respectively, and look forward to working together to continue to educate and entertain our OBX guests for years to come!
