Horses here are treated like family and are well taken care of. They receive good care, a healthy diet and constant access to hay and water. Equine Adventures is closed on Sundays in the summer so horses can have a day off and they always schedule rides during the coolest parts of the day. Guided tours are two hours and are offered year round. Riders will begin with a 45-minute trip through the North Carolina Coastal Reserve and maritime forest to the beach. Horses will take guests along the ocean for 30 minutes and then head back through the woods to the barn. Expect to see a wide variety of wildlife during various times of the year.

Located in Frisco, Equine Adventures was established in 2001; that's 17 years operating on the Outer Banks! Here, owners pride themselves on safety of their guests and keeping their horses happy.

Morning and afternoon rides are available during the summer.
Ride times vary throughout year. Off-season hours are flexible.
Reservations are required and riders must be at least 10 years old.
