cfwallen Posted October 29, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Will be in St. Martin on Epic soon. Will it be possible to get a cab to the butterfly farm, then to Maho Beach and then back to port? We are in port 8:00-6:00 with 2 other ships in port that day. About how much will taxis cost for a round trip like this? Is there enough time to do it? Thanks in advance.

Carol The Butterfly farm and Le Galion are a great combination and you will cut down on cab fare as you can walk from one to the other in less than 5 minutes. Le Galion is pretty protected so it should be in pretty good shape even if Maho isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logansdaddy Posted September 18, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I hate resurrecting a 6 year old post....but how was your experience? My wife wants the butterflies, I want the planes lol. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMH Posted September 18, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I can't speak to the butterfly farm - I have seen the posts Warrenhull is referring to and I assumed it was destroyed as well, but a google search does not confirm that - and even shows a site that seems like it is still active, so that is confusing. However, I can confirm that Maho is still a very viable and popular option for seeing the planes. There are not as many big planes as pre-hurricane from the US and Europe, but they do still land and it is spectacular to see them. Generally it is in the early afternoons for landing and a few hours later for take off. The beach was never a fabulous "beach day" beach and that is still true. But, if your goal is to see planes, then keep Maho in your plans. It really is a once in a lifetime thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logansdaddy Posted September 20, 2018 #5 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I emailed them and they confirmed it IS closed until further notice. What else is there to do that the wife would enjoy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
