Great shore excursions fill up fast here, especially on cruise days. Here are the 3 best, each priced and described, so you can lock one in before the calendar does it for you.
Half-day St Maarten beach hopping with Orient’s calm swim time and Maho’s plane-overhead spectacle, plus drinks and port transport.
“Nothing of interest. Nice beach and that’s all. Very little shopping venues. Areas visited were dull and dirty. Waste of time.”
St Maarten speedboat and snorkeling: Creole Rock, Tintamarre turtles, Pinel beaches, and Maho plane views with unlimited drinks.
“We have done a number of cruises in the Caribbean and Europe and this was hands down THE best shore tour we have ever done. Super fun with a mix of speed thrills and natural beauty. Our 10 year old son had a blast at the front of the boat going over the waves. The lunch was yummy and the waters were crystal clear for swimming and snorkelling. I would recommend this for anyone that seeks adventure. Not for the faint hearted. Thanks for a brilliant day!”
Stress-free round-trip ride from Philipsburg to Maho Beach, with epic plane views, a Sunset Beach Bar stop, and a Cole Bay photo stop.
“Nice and easy transfer to Maho beach, only 4 of us on the bus!! Driver was fantastic, telling us about the island and the area on the way, and a r”
A 5-hour cruise shore trip to Orient Beach for sun and swim, then Maho Beach for planes overhead, with port pickup and drop-off included.
“We had taken this tour previously and loved it. This time it was a horrible experience that just left us wanting it to end. Confusion at departure, shotty vehicle, excursion change not notified about until we were en route, no drinks, only "tour" was driving past stores and told they had good food.”
3–4 hours from Philipsburg to Marigot, Dutch-and-French sights, viewpoints and shopping, with cruise port pickup plus a complimentary drink.
“The sights were beautiful. This was our 3rd time visiting the island. We saw several areas that we had never seen before. Unfortunately, our driver /guide was not very informative at all. He answered questions but didn't point out much. I pointed out a few points to the other passengers.”
