We had a great trip up to Carova and Swann beach with our guide Pete who was excellent. He is so passionate and informative, knowledable about not only the island culture, but the horses, the birds, the eco system and the history! You have to do this tour. You will see wonderful wild horses and some of the new foals(we... More

What a great time driving around the northern part of the island; our guide, Joshua, filled us in on local history, some world history, beach life, the locals and showed us horses and other beautiful wildlife. A fun ride and great tour! More

Today a friend and I went on the Segway Historic Tour of Corolla with tour guide Joshua. We had never been on a Segway before and Joshua was patient and informative during our instruction time. We traveled all around the Whalehead Club, Corolla Lighthouse, through the Villages of Corolla, and up into The Villages of Ocean Hill. Joshua was very... More

Neither my husband nor I had been to the Outer Banks before and researched different things to do while we vacationed...seeing the wild horses was one of the things we really wanted to do and after research we decided on Back Country Outfitters...we were really, REALLY disappointed. Although the guide was knowledgeable and friendly, the whole concept of "wild horses"... More

We took 4 teenage girls out on the beaches in the 4x4 wild horse safari. As we are a horse family, it was interesting to see this side of the animal, out in the wild and co-existing with people. After driving on the beach (passing other cars!) we turned into the dune area and began looking for horses. What an... More

Me, my wife and our friends went on the Horse tour, and we had an amazing time. Joshua our guide was very knowledgeable, funny and helpful. The horses were all around us and they were beautiful. What was the most amazing part of our trip was that Joshua was explaining the family dynamics of the horses and how one male... More

Oh my goodness!! What fun!! David provided entertainment for all. This was by far the highlight of our trip. He provided excellent background and history of the horses. He was very knowledgeable of the area and had a lot to offer. We also saw almost 30 hourses. The best part was charging over the dunes in the safari jeep. It... More
