Horseback Riding
The national parks and Curaçao's arid countryside are ideal
for sightseeing on horseback. Choose early morning or sunset
rides for the coolest breezes and most active wildlife.
Christoffel National Park has its own ranch with horses, and
several other stables arrange group rides and individual out-
ings along beaches, and over inland terrain that cannot be covered by car.
TIP:
Wear a hat, sunglasses, knee-length or longer
pants, and sunscreen. If you want to ride in shorts or
swimsuit, bring a thick beach towel to protect the
front of your legs from sunburn, and the back of your
legs from saddle sores.
Rates are $25 per hour, with ride-and-snorkel tours available at about $35.
