Outer Banks: Searching the beaches for wild horses

#outerbanks #obx #northcarolina
We love the Outer Banks of North Carolina! And one of our favorite attractions there is the wild horse safari of Corolla, NC. A herd of about 100 wild horses live on the beach and in this video, we will take a safari tour to try to get a good look at these mustangs living along the coast in this popular vacation destination. How did these horses come to live on the beach? What is the safari tour experience like? Is it worth the price? We fully review the experience in this video and try to answer any questions you may have about it.
Here is a link to the Nags Head video mentioned in this video. Click here to see our visit to the east coast's largest sand dune (among other things): • Outer Banks: Touring ...

    You definitely should do this if you ever have the chance. We enjoyed it so much! It is very sad that people had fed the horses food that has killed them. I have to think most of them did it trying to be good to the horses by bringing them food. But it is a very bad idea. We did think it was important to mention it. Thanks so much for wacthing our video! Hope you get to visit the Outer Banks and do this one day.

    Hello McGuires! We love visiting the Outer Banks. The story of the wild horses existence there is pretty cool. And it is amazing that they have lived so long there even after people started building on the Outer Banks. They really don't have much space to roam there now where they are free from human interference. But they are still going. Thanks for watching our video!

    This was something I hope you get to experience one day. It was great. We were the only people on our safari truck who wore masks the whole time. Some did intermittently, some not at all. I suppose they may have thought it was OK since we were outdoors the whole time but we were in really close quarters on the open air truck. And we were expecting the truck to only be half full but they sold almost all the seats. So... yeah, unless someone had the funds to rent out the whole safari truck to experience this with just their travel party, my suggestion would be to wait on this a while.
