St Maarten Excusions

[CruzFamleof6]

I have checked the port site on CC and have not really found anything that I could use....

 

We are looking for a comprehensive independant tour of St Maarten that would show both sides of the island, local culture, food, beaches, views.....

 

Any suggetions???? :D

There are plenty of cab drivers at the pier . . . just negotiate.

 

Or, check out the port of call board.

Lots of circle tours to take. We did one from the ship first time there. Just check the Port of Call forum:) :D :) :D

St. Maarten is also pretty organized. There is a permanant area/shopping mall right off of the dock - you have to walk through it to go anywhere on the island. There are many tour operators working out of that mall. We found one that charged $25-$30 that took us on a 3-hour circle tour. We stopped in a few places for photos, and stoppedin Marigot for 30 minutes to walk around/shop.

I was reading CC from years ago and found this name" Joyce Prince" So i googled it and came up with a lady who owns a tourist company-she does personal tours or you can go with one of her assigned people. You can choose your own tour or she has some. She seemed very nice. We are going on OASIS March 24-31st...and will be in St Maarten on the 28th. I want to go to Maho Beach and hopefully see the planes land!

 

Google: St Maarten/Joyce Prince tours and see what you get. She responded to my email quickly.

Good Luck!

We did a private tour with Bernard in STM because there were seven ships in port that day (Thanksgiving cruise) and it was great!!! Could not recommend them highly enough.

As per the last 2 posts highly recommend Bernard..... he listened to what we wanted to do and showed us exactly that and more. Quite an experience!. Full details in my blog in sig below.

We also toured with Bernard. He gives a comprehensive tour of both sides of the island, with local flavor, beach time, and time at Maho Beach to see the planes land.

 

We highly recommend Bernard's tour!

Bernard's Tours

[heathersmom]

I have booked a shuttle from the airport to the port - for 6 people it cost me over $150.00. Thats both trips to port and then to airport. However- I see there are cheaper venues...but I am so afraid of getting there and not having someone show up or worse...them having my credit card info and not being a 'real' Company. Any suggestions? What have you used?

6 people from Ft Lauderdale to Oasis and Back (1 week later)...

THANKS!

Hooray for Bernard's Tours!!! "Sexy" was our guide.

[snowbirds2]

We had "Mailman" as our driver/guide when we booked with Bernards - what a great guy and a fun tour. Was exactly as described. Nice group of people in our tour too - and good rum punch!

[domeco]

How do you book a Bernard's Tour?

[fishteamteam]

We had Temo two weeks ago and highly recommend Bernard's Tour. Just Google Bernards Tours St Maarten!

We cruised with a group of friends last Sept. and some used Bernard and some used Joyce Prince - they both really enjoyed their tours. Joyce Prince was who Alton Brown (from the Food Network) used when he was there to film his "Feasting on Waves" series. I wish he still did that!... :(
