Coastal Explorations, Corolla

About Coastal Explorations

Coastal Explorations in Corolla offers guided tours and rentals across the Outer Banks' beaches and sound. The signature attraction is a 4x4 beach tour from Corolla to Carova, where visitors search for wild horses descended from Spanish Mustangs that have inhabited these dunes for over 400 years. Knowledgeable local guides lead the tours, explaining the history and ecology of the region while providing close views of North Carolina's official state horse. Beyond wild horse tours, the business operates a Tiki Boat offering sunset cruises and kids eco-tours where families spot local wildlife. Guided kayak tours take visitors through hidden sound nooks, suitable for all ages. Weekly kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals allow independent exploration of the ocean or sound, with complimentary weekend delivery included. Wild horse tours accommodate car seats for younger children, making them accessible to families with small kids.
