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!
