Excursions St Maarten

[gettingmarried]

Posted this question previously but now that the excursions are open for the Nov 4th sailing, are there any recommendations of what to do in St Maarten? Is it better to book with Princess or privately?

Thanks!:)

We rented a vehicle right at the dock and drove ourselves around. We visited the airport (acutally the bar just off the approach for the runway) and also had lunch on the French side. Two entirely different cultures by the way. Enjoy.

You might try the Ports of Call board for St. Maarten. There might be some ideas there for you.

In Oct. 2005, we did the Golden Eagle catamaran excursion. It was a blast. You can get wet or not, but it was a fun sail. It was a morning excursion (about 3 hours total, if I recall), so we had time when we got back to have some lunch and then do some shopping. Kellie

We highly recommend the Golden Eagle excursion too but this past year did the America's Cup Challenge and liked it even better. Totally different excursion but definitely worth doing once. :)

We hired a cab and he took us all around the island. Very informative, he gaves us a great tour, shopping, restauerants even time at the beach etc. approx $80 for the day

Highly recommend Joyce Prince! We took her tour last Sept on AOS and had a wonderful time, best tour for the entire cruise, very personalized tour, lots of fun! Her website is http://www.joyceprince.com

Enjoy, St. Marteen is one of our favorite islands. Tell her Sam and Jan from Ohio says Hi!

Definitely go for the America's Cup excursion. We had a blast.

Plenty of taxis on the pier who will give you a tour of both sides of the island

I third, forth, fifth and sixth this suggestion. It was, hands down, the best shore excursion I've ever done! :D
