    hrs Estimate Duration

This tour starts from the cruise terminal, while driving through some of the local villages and crossing the French-Dutch Border to the French side. We will then make a photo stop overlooking the Orient Bay Beach, one of our main scenic points. We will also head towards Grand Case Beach, sweeping curve of a very pretty, one-mile-long, white sandy beach with calm waters. Perfect place for a spectacular photo shoot! The next stop is the capital of the French side of the island, Marigot. Visit its beautiful Market for shopping or to enjoy some tasty pastries and a natural drink. Take amazing selfies in Fort St Louis, St Martin's most impressive historic monument; this military hill offers great views over the Bay of Marigot.


Our journey continues crossing again by the southwest French – Dutch Border, we will stop at a place that honors the treaty between France and Netherlands for taking the island control. Right after, we will arrive to Maho Beach, a world-famous beach adjacent to the Princess Juliana International Airport. Here, you’ll witness airplanes on their final approach to the airport, passing only a short distance above your head. Here you’ll definitely capture amazing photos! On this tour, we also make our way towards a Guavaberry distillery, the perfect place to buy the famous and legendary National Liqueur of St. Maarten.


We will be able to get a beautiful view of the capital of the Dutch side – Phillipsburg when we get back to the port. So we would have made a complete round trip around this beautiful paradise island.
