Have you ever heard of Rhino Riding?
No it does not involve Rhinos. It actually involves snorkeling and spending the day on the water.
Any guesses now?…..
I didn’t think so.
Well Rhino Riding is a unique experience you can have while traveling to the beautiful island of St. Maarten.
Rhino Riding is where you pilot your own watercraft that is part jetski part dinghy. You can be a solo rider or a duo during your adventure. This has been a top excursion for years and after traveling this summer to St. Maarten we knew we had to take part.
The tour is a 2.5 hour snorkel adventure where you take a nice long ride out to a famous St. Maarten reef. Along the ride you will see the beautiful coastline of the island as well as some incredible waterfront homes.
Once you arrive at the reef your guide will link up all the boats and you get a good amount of time to explore this very active reef called Creole Rock. We saw multiple types of fish and coral during our snorkel.
If snorkeling is not your thing but you still want to try Rhino Riding, Rhino Safari tour group also offers a beach getaway. You still get the beautiful island views as you ride over to a secluded beach called Happy Bay. Additionally, if you have a large group you can customize your own tour!
My entire family enjoyed our tour on the Rhino Riders. We got to not only race each other in the Rhino Riders, but also casually ride along the coastline. Being out of the water is one of my favorite places to be, especially in the Caribbean. This was such a unique way to explore St. Maarten and spend the day on the beautiful turquoise blue waters.
