Scoot Coupe Beach Fun Mobile in St Maarten

[welove2cruisedou]

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has done the Scoot Coupe Beach Fun Mobile Tour in St. Maarten?The Oasis of the Seas is offering this as a tour. It looks like it would be alot of fun riding around in those cute 3 wheel car looking things. I looked it up on youtube and it looks like it would be alot of fun riding around on these. I am just wondering if they are automatic and if they are easy to drive? How bumpy of a ride are they? Do they go to Orient Beach? If anyone has any info on this tour please do share your experience. Thank you.:)

Yes. My wife and I enjoyed it a lot. I drove the Scootcoup while my wife videoed our trip for the second part. The tour took us from downtown Philipsburg along a beach road and up lots of steep hills. Unfortunately, we didn't video the ride out, which had the most beautiful scenery. On the way to Orient Beach, we stopped alongside another beach for a five-minute informative talk and demonstration about sea life, such as conch, urchin, and starfish. This was an opportunity to hold and touch living sea organisms. Then, back in the Scoot Coupes and onward to Orient Beach for a 45-minute stay. On the return trip, I continued to drive, although you can switch drivers, and my wife videoed using our compact Sony HDR-TG5V. We really didn't know what to expect on the way out, so that's probably why we didn't get video. With something new, whether it's Segways or zip lines, you always have a little apprehension the first time. These ScootCoupes are really fun, though, and seem relatively safe. You go in a procession with your blinkers on. The escorts on 4-wheelers do a great job keeping the group together and stopping other traffic when needed. They have no fear as you can see in this video but seem quite skilled at what they do. I recommend this excursion and feel it was worth the cost. They are automatic and easy to drive. A little bumpy, but fun.

We are considering this excursion however slightly concerned because my husband weighs 240 lbs. The rest of us are well under the 225 lb weight limit that the RC website posts. We'll be with our 17 & 14 year old children. Feels like this one might not work for us.... your thoughts/comments are welcome to help us decide. Thanks!
