Any requests? Cruising in 5 days! Yikes! No plans

[mitsugirly]

This is so unlike me and I can't figure out what to do here. We've been here several times and have been all over the island. I just can't figure out what to do. 

 

We thought about renting the blow-up type boats, but didn't get a response from anyone who has done them...so that worries me. 

 

Any request that someone would like a review on? (I do huge picture heavy reviews for those of you that don't know me). 

 

Give me some ideas guys and gals. I'm stumped. We leave in 3 days and cruise in 5...YIKES!

 

TIA

Hi! How about Lucky Stables horseback riding? 

 

Trail and Beach Rides (1 hour)

Beautiful winding trails leading you to a splendid lookout point on St Maarten over the Caribbean Sea. You can see Saba and Statia (Sint Eustatius) in good weather conditions. Concluded by a cooling swim with your horse in the Caribbean surf.

The last time we rode horses (and even in the water), my daughter did not like it much and honestly I didn't really either (even though I have rode many horses growing up).

If going to Marigot Bay, see which of the yummy French bakeries are open.  I understand that Serafina's is not yet rebuilt.

 

Thanks for checking for me

Have you been to "The Yoda Guy" museum? I haven't been yet, but want to go next I'm in St. Maarten, It looks cool! The guy that owns the place is the creator of Yoda from Star Wars & has done a lot in tons of other movies. Him & his wife own & run the place & there's tons of memorabilia & statues from all the movies he's been involved with. If you buy anything from his store, he will give you his autograph & let you take a picture with him. Lot's of info. if you google it. 

 

Little Bay beach also is another place that looked nice. The snorkeling is supposed to be good on the left side of the bay when looking at the water.

We have decided to rent some rhino riders to enjoy the morning. This was our original plan but it seems like no one on here has done these before (they seem to get excellent reviews on TA).

 

Anyone know the cost for a taxi from the port to the Simpson Bay area? (For 7 people) Is it $7 pp?

Sarafina's is open! It is now a much smaller version located at Port La Royale in Marigot.  I have read that they will be opening a larger place nearby.  You can find info on Trip Advisor and social media that cannot be named here that rhymes with race.

Please report back on this. We are thinking of doing this as well. 

 

Thank you

I'm sure you've already come up with plans but when we went last September, we did the ATV tour around the island. I loved that tour. We even got a little beach time. The company was Solid ATV Scooter Rental SXM. My husband tells me it was book thru Carnival. If my memory serves me correctly,  you went to St. Maarten after the hurricane and took pictures of the distruction. You rode with a friend I believe? I'm an avid follower of your picture reviews. =)
