german89 Posted December 5, 2010 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hey there, will be there at the 26th of Dec. Maho Beach is a definite must-see for airplane enthusiasts like us, so we are wondering when and how long to stay there. Any chance to get some ETA for the big planes yet? Does it make sense to stay there the whole day? When is the best time to go there, is there enough time for doing something else beforehand or afterwards? Any recommendations? Thanks! Edit: Got from 7am to 5pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted December 5, 2010 #2 Share Posted December 5, 2010 The 26th is a Sunday, like right now, so jump on over to the schedule on Joyce Prince's website and see what is actually happening, real time. (Set the time Period to Noon - 3 if it's not). KL785 @ 2:08 was a 747. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salboz Posted December 5, 2010 #3 Share Posted December 5, 2010 You would always get to see some planes, but the bigger ones come in the afternoon. Planes come rather frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
german89 Posted December 5, 2010 Author #4 Share Posted December 5, 2010 So say we get to Maho at 1 or 2 pm - is there anything you can recommend for the few hours before? Hanging out in Philipsburg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karysa Posted December 5, 2010 #5 Share Posted December 5, 2010 So say we get to Maho at 1 or 2 pm - is there anything you can recommend for the few hours before? Hanging out in Philipsburg? Phillipsburg will be quiet on a Sunday morning and normally I would suggest going to Mullet Bay before heading to Maho but it can get pretty busy with the residents on Sundays. I suppose if you get to Mullet in the Morning say 9:30-10 it should not be too busy and then head over to Maho say 12:30-1pm it should be fine. You can even walk the distance in 10 minutes or so between these two beaches and there are restaurants in the Maho entertainment area to have lunch at or you could wait until you get to the beach to grab some lunch.

Rare Birdnutty Posted January 23, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm looking to try snuba somewhere, and was wondering how this excursion was. How was your experience with bluebubbles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
