See the coastal flora and fauna of Seaside Nature Park, while enjoying this leisurely horseback riding experience, and cool down with your horse in the Caribbean Sea. No prior riding experience is required. Ride your horse behind the guide in a small group, over the winding trails. Enjoy the view of the neighboring Caribbean islands like St. Barts and Saba, while your horse follows the trails along the rocky coastline. The guides will tell you about the flora and fauna, as well as the island’s rich history. Photo stops will be made.


Next, you and your horse will go into the sea. You’ll get a chance to take off your shoes, or better, wear water shoes. The saddles will stay on. Remember, what you wear should be allowed to get wet. This is another great photo opportunity! After your ride in the sea, it is only a few minutes ride back to the stables. You’ll have an opportunity to change your clothes and enjoy a refreshment in the shaded beach bar area, after your ride. Guests are encouraged to bring cash or credit card to purchase optional extras, such as souvenirs, food and drinks, photo materials and treats for the different animals in the park.
