Wild Horse Adventure Tours

About Wild Horse Adventure Tours

More than 300 years ago, an exploration ship carrying Spanish mustangs ran aground off the North Carolina coast, with the surviving mustangs swimming to shore, where they have been living wild on the beach ever since. You can see the wild mustangs via Wild Horse Adventure Tours with an experienced guide in an open-air Hummer.
