Horseback Riding in St. Maarten
With tropical rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and 37 sun-swept beaches, there is no lack of beautiful landscapes and natural diversity in St. Maarten. Visitors to this beautiful Caribbean nation can opt to explore the different parts of the island in a way that’s as unique as St. Maarten itself — on horseback. There are several equestrian tours available for novice and expert riders that offer an extraordinary way to see the sites.
On horseback, riders can explore rarely-traveled nature trails leading to hidden coves or pristine waterfalls, ride alongside the beautiful turquoise water as the sun sets in the distance, or discover the lush St. Maarten vegetation and beautiful overlooks that showcase this picturesque island. Embarking on a horseback ride enables visitors to tackle more rigorous terrain and discover off the beaten path areas that are difficult to access on foot. With numerous historical sites that are scattered throughout the island, travel by horseback also allows entry to cultural and historical wonders that cannot be accessed by car.
The ease of traveling by horseback is also ideal for families, benefiting both children and adults looking for an easier way to reach some of St. Maarten’s highest peaks to experience some of the country’s most breathtaking views. This is one of the equestrian experiences available in St. Maarten:
Lucky Stables, one of St. Maarten’s top equestrian centers, which has been in operation since 1985, offers guests a wide selection of well-kept Antillianos horses, a local breed that is famous for being friendly and well-behaved. Guests of Lucky Stables can choose from a number of horseback riding adventure packages that include such trips as a one-hour and two-hour trail ride or sunset ride, as well as a night champagne ride. Each of these three tours pass through the rolling hills of St. Maarten, often just yards away from the blue water edge. The trips also feature breathtaking views of neighboring islands of Saba, St. Kitts and Nevis and will lead you to the most southerly tip of the island where you will traverse acres of green, unspoiled wilderness that forms part of a nature reserve.
The cost for participation ranges from $50-$70 per person, and includes an introductory riding course. Visit http://luckystables.shoreadventures.net/ and their page at Seaside Nature Park.
