To improve things in 2014, land has recently been purchased. We can now venture into three distinct, previously inaccessible ecosystems that are teeming with wildlife of all types. The new land provides an exciting ride through a Maritime forest and high sand dune trails, with a view of protected marshlands. These areas are inaccessible by most off-road vehicles due to the soft, sugary sands and high inclines. Only true off-road vehicles can make it without getting stuck, and in this area the Hummer really comes into its own.

See the wild horses of the Outer Banks and whip through beach, dune, and forest trails with Humvee Adventure Tours. With continued development of off-road trails, the horses were becoming harder to find in their natural habitat. When they were found, regulations prevented our tours from stopping and disembarking on public land and “roads” to take pictures. Although by law we will still never get closer than 50 feet, we found that most customers do prefer to get out of the vehicle at points along the tour so they can be stationary while taking pictures.

We are now officially in our off-season. That means cheaper prices and more secluded beaches. The off-season is a great time to see the Wild Horses and ride on the beaches of the Outer Banks.

Wild Horse Adventure Tours is open year-round. Call 252.489.2020 for or Click here for more information.
