Acerca de esta actividad
Cuando su crucero atraque en el puerto de Philipsburg, reúnase con el guía para su excursión en tierra por Sint Maarten y prepárese para descubrir lo más destacado de este tesoro del Caribe. Explorará ambos lados de esta isla colonial francesa y holandesa, que abarca 60 kilómetros cuadrados (37 millas cuadradas) de las Antillas Menores y realizará paradas en puntos paisajísticos a lo largo del camino.
Primero, se dirigirá al extremo norte de la isla, en el lado francés, a una de sus playas más tranquilas y extraordinarias, la playa Grand Case, donde podrá pasear por la arena blanca de la orilla. Nade o tome el sol mientras se estira en la arena suave y contempla el agua de color turquesa que brilla bajo la luz tropical.
A continuación, en la capital gourmet del Caribe, Grand Case, encontrará una variada selección de cocina local. Pruebe a almorzar un plato tradicional como el yaniqueque, una torta de maíz frita (los gastos corren de su cuenta), disfrute del ponche de ron Guavaberry (una sabrosa bebida de ron hecha con las bayas de la isla) o tome un refresco o una cerveza en la playa (una bebida incluida).
Después, diríjase a Marigot, la encantadora capital de San Martín y disfrute del ambiente francés, donde las tiendas se extienden a lo largo de las calles coloniales y el bazar al aire libre rodea la plaza central. A continuación, su guía le llevará de nuevo al lado holandés hasta la playa de Maho, donde podrá ver aviones aterrizando muy de cerca desde la playa que hay justo al lado del aeropuerto internacional Princess Juliana.
De regreso al puerto de cruceros y para finalizar la excursión en tierra pasará por la bahía de Simpson. Si lo desea, puede solicitar que le dejen en Philipsburg para explorar la ciudad por su cuenta, en vez de que lleven de regreso hasta el puerto. En este caso, no se aplicará la política de excursión en tierra sin preocupaciones. Consulte la información adicional para obtener más detalles.

We stayed for a day during our cruise in St Maarten and we're glad we took this tour. King David was amazing explaining the history, the differences etc of the Dutch and the French side. We had enough time during the stops to walk, eat, have something to drink etc and never felt rushed. He was attentive and always making sure we were ok. I'd strongly recommend this tour to anyone that has only one day to visit as it covers pretty much everything you'd like to see.
This was an excellent excursion. We visited both sides of the island. Saw and learned so much from our wonderful tour guide/driver, King David. He was so informative, personable, comic and very good driver. We enjoyed the refreshments at all our stops. Missed a big plane landing but that was because the plane landed half hour early and we were in the casino for the other. We did get to see a couple of smaller ones land. This tour is well worth the money we paid, in fact it is a bargain for all you see and do. Would do a repeat excursion of this one.
We had a nice time with Wellington as our tour guide. We had a group of 13 from two different cruise ships. Wellington was very funny, engaging and knowledgeable. He got me good at one point with his pranks! We proceeded to head out through Philipsburg to the French side of the island. He pointed out historical structures and statues etc. while telling us about the history of the island being fought over many times by different countries and how they all governed there for periods of time. He detailed how France and the Netherlands currently rule and pointed out the vast differences between the two which was interesting to see the contrast so starkly laid out right next to each other and within a minute's drive. We enjoyed the Carib beers and Rum punch that Wellington provided. The shots of punch were potent and become more frequent and plentiful as the day went on. The cooler was getting pretty light by the end of the day I'm sure! My wanna-be ecologist daughter enjoyed feeding the iguana's at one of the first stops. We proceeded on to Orient beach which was beautifully redone and construction was ongoing to repair the building damage from the recent hurricanes the past couple of years. From there we proceeded on to Grande Case, but didn't get to stop there as the roads were all under construction into the town, so were disappointed with that. However, we then stopped for lunch and shopping in Marigot. We also went to Maho beach/Princess Julianna airport area and got to see the Jets arriving and departing, just yards from where you stand. The bar there had a wicked 2 foot long "yard" style "take your shirt off" rum punch drink. Wow! While watching the jets, hang on to your sunglasses and hats or the jet blast will have them find a watery grave somewhere 50 yards out into the bay! Wellington was quite punctual at each stop and we got back after 5 1/2 hours with plenty of time to do some shopping at the pier shops. Not all tour operators show much concern about getting you back to your ship on time. We did have some trouble finding the meeting spot for the tour. The instructions said to meet at the north end of the pier area. The meeting spot is beyond the taxi cab area, and beyond the round-a-bout and berond the end of the shopping area. Look for several large white shade tents and the amigo tours rep will be holding up a sign to indicate that is the right place. Overall, well worth the money and I'll definitely book with Viator again!
We left late and had to change buses 3 time, 1 broke down, one had no air conditioning we were just on time to get back to the ship, the guide had no idea that the cruise ship would leave us behind if we did not get there on time it was her first day. We were rushed in all out stops and it was not enjoyable or relaxing. I would not do this tour again with this company. The other guides on the tour were not friendly at all and we were left alone to figure out where we were going and how to find bathrooms. At one bathroom we have to pay $1.00 to use and we would get the $1.00 back if we bought food at their restaurant.
This excursion was supposed to be 4.5 hours and was actually over 6 hours. The problem was that I needed to get on a cruise ship and we cut it too close. The driver kept saying the cruise ship had to wait for me and wouldn't leave. This was not a tour from the cruise ship, so that isn't true. I really wanted a 4.5 hour tour, not 6 hours. I couldn't do shopping because we were late. But, having said that, really good tour if you are good with 6 hours!
A very fun time. We had a smallish group by no means full and it was just great except that we had set times to meet back at the minivan at each stop and one family kept getting back late. This made us miss the big plane landing at Maho Beach. Our driver/guide Wellington was terrific and lots of fun but there should be some kind of enforcement of the rules. We learned a lot of interesting facts from Wellington and he was very polite and answered all of our questions. The only thing of note is that we arrived on a Sunday cruise and all the stores are pretty much closed so not much to do shopping wise.
My husband and son 22 yrs loved the tour. St Maarten still has a long way to recover...
The excursion went on 3 hours longer than expected! The tour was way too long and boring. The guide was pretty terrible. I did not like being dumped for an hour at a run-down little road side restaurant with the worst service, questionable cleanliness, no restrooms and very expensive prices in euros in the village of Marigot. Right after our lunch break we were driven to another bar and grill for another 45 minute break at Maho Beach to watch the airplanes. We could have combined the two lunch breaks and just lunched at the bar at Maho beach which was a much better restaurant. I'm sure the guide received kick backs from the first restaurant. Mainly, the island is not very fun, it is rundown and devastated by the hurricane. Skip the sight seeing and just book a beach excursion. The island is a huge disappointment. The charming village of Marigot is a dump with overpriced restaurants, run down buildings and the shopping consists of tired looking tourist souvenirs on tables and carts. Not at all French, except for the prices in euros. The downtown area of St. Maarten is also rundown and I would never buy diamonds there. Safety is even questionable. The locals I met were rude and did not understand anything about customer service even though the entire economy of the island is based on tourism.
