Horseback Riding in St. Maarten

October 4, 2008 · Filed Under Adventure Travel, Attractions, Caribbean · 1 Comment 

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.
