About

Equine Adventures is a horseback-riding tour operator on Piney Ridge Road in Frisco, one of the Hatteras Island villages inside Cape Hatteras National Seashore, sitting between Buxton and Hatteras village near the maritime forest of the Buxton Woods Coastal Reserve, not far from Frisco Campground and its beach-access trails.

Like the rest of the island, Frisco is reached by NC-12, the single road connecting Hatteras Island's villages — one that can close temporarily during storms, so it's worth checking conditions before visiting during hurricane season (June through November).

This listing doesn't include specifics on rides, pricing, or schedule, so call (252) 995-4897 or check the operator's website for current tour offerings before you plan a trip.

We had an incredible experience on this horseback riding tour! From start to finish, the guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel comfortable, regardless of experience level. My boyfriend had never ridden a horse before, but his horse was calm, well-trained, and easy to control, which made his first ride so enjoyable. One of my favorite parts was that the guides took photos of us with our own phones while we were riding on the beach, so we came home with amazing memories without having to worry about taking pictures ourselves. The ride itself was absolutely beautiful. We explored the Buxton Forest, one of the largest remaining Maritime Evergreen Forests on the East Coast, and saw plenty of wildlife along the way, including deer, snakes, and a variety of birds. Riding through the forest before emerging onto the beach made the experience even more memorable. Once we reached the beach, we rode our horses along the shoreline with incredible ocean views. For anyone wanting a little more excitement, the guides even gave riders the opportunity to gallop down the beach with one of them, which was such a fun and unique experience. The horses were clearly well cared for, gentle, and responsive, making this ride perfect for both beginners and experienced riders. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable horseback riding adventure on the Outer Banks!

This was a great day! A very fun and cool experience. What I liked, was the amount of time you got on your horse, the trail and beach! The price is perfect for what you get IMO. Very friendly staff, and they walk you through everything which is great, especially if you have never been on a horse or riden one, or in my case, over 20 years. 👍🏼

This is one of the coolest things we’ve ever done! The horses walk at a very comfortable pace and they were all very well behaved. We drove an hour and a half from our rental and i don’t regret it one bit. The tour guide closer to my end of the line was very friendly and personable (i can’t remember her name but she had a few tattoos on her arms). I would definitely recommend this to anybody considering it.

We had an awesome time in our horseback riding excursion. Fantastic scenery, peaceful trails and the chance to actually "ride" instead of the usual walking only. Darcy and Halley, our guides were fantastic, engaging and knowledgeable about the terrain and of course the horses. We got to ride Phillipe and Trip. Definitely a must do if you like horseback riding.

This was the second year my daughter and I rode with Equine Adventures. It was just as amazing as our first ride! The trail is beautiful and peaceful. The horses are well trained and a joy to ride. The guides make sure to take good care of all of the riders. We plan to return every time we visit the OBX.
