Seaside Nature Park Promotional Video

We are super proud to show you our new promotional video, showcasing Sint Maarten, the cruise ships, Point Blanche terminal and Great Bay as well as extensive coverage of our park, the horses and animals and our brand new riding ring where we continue our riding lessons after hurricane Irma destroyed the ring completely last year.

Very special thanks to Maarten Rood of “Maarten Like St Maarten” and everyone that helped us and ‘starred’ in the movie: Jasper Nijenhuis, Vera Verbruggen, Cloty Tavernier, Amber Tavernier, Alexandra Halley-van Luijken, Oriana Gumbs.

Below you can find the schedule, information on how to sign up and our special Basic Introduction Package deal!

Lessons Schedule

When you sign up for lessons, please let us know what your preferred days are, so we can make the lesson schedule accordingly.

For the Tuesday and Friday lessons, the amount of applicants we get will determine how we can make the 3 groups: adult, children beginner and children intermediate.

We strongly advise you to get the Basic Introduction Package for your child(ren) when they are beginners even though they might have taken lessons in the past.

This way all the children will have the same instruction, refresh what they already know and arrive at about the same level. Most importantly, it’s a very good deal as well!
