Founded in 2008, Coastal Explorations is a veteran-owned and operated outdoor touring company proudly run by former U.S. Coast Guard members. We bring adventure, education, and entertainment to life using the natural resources in our own backyard — the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Whether it's your first trip to Corolla or you've been visiting for years, we think you'll love exploring with us.
Corolla Wild Horse Tours: Join a guided 4x4 beach tour from Corolla to Carova in search of the legendary Corolla wild horses — descendants of Spanish Mustangs that have roamed these dunes for centuries. Our knowledgeable local guides blend adventure with the real history and ecology of the Outer Banks.
Sunset Tiki Boat Cruises: Hop aboard our Tiki Boat and cruise the Currituck Sound in style. Perfect for families and friends, this relaxing tour offers front-row views of the sunset and a chance to spot local wildlife.
Kayak Tours: Paddle out with an experienced guide to discover the hidden nooks of the sound. Bring the whole family for a calm, scenic tour on the water.
We are a true "By Land and By Sea" touring company, offering Corolla Wild Horse Tours, Sunset Cruises, and Kayak Tours — proudly serving the Outer Banks since 2008.
