Overview

THIS IS NOT A TOUR BUT A BEACH ADVENTURE - THIS IS A GROUP RENDEZVOUS, Group rate starts at 6 person and up (below will be personalized), Email, call or best WhatsApp to join the Group. Spend 2 hours at Orient Beach where you can hang out at the beach, walk on the white sand, swim in the ocean, enjoy our water sports activities or rent a beach chair and relax while sipping on your favorite drink. Then we head off to Maho Beach (Sunset Beach) where some of the largest aircraft come in for landing right overhead and take off right before your eyes, for another two hours of fun. With the day well spent at the beach with a tan line to show for it, we head back to town where you have an option of remaining or be dropped back to your cruise ship.

What To Expect

Enjoy this shore excursion that allows you to visit two sought after beaches in St Maarten. After meeting at the designated meeting point near the cruise ship port, begin your adventure by heading first to Orient Beach.

At Orient Beach you can hang out, walk on the white sand, swim in the ocean, or rent a beach chair and relax while sipping on your favorite drinks. For the more adventurous, there is also the option to go parasailing, snorkeling, kite surfing and kite flying. You can also rent a jet ski, water trampoline or banana boat. The options are endless! There are lots of bars and restaurants with Creole and French cuisine where you can grab some authentic local food. You will have two hours at Orient Beach to enjoy the sand, sun, water and breeze.

Next, the adventure will continue to Maho Beach (Sunset Beach) for another two hours. Maho Beach is famous for being located in front of the Princess Juliana International Airport where some of the largest aircraft come in for landing right overhead and take off right before your eyes. These planes land so close you feel like you can reach out and touch them! This is an unforgettable experience that will not soon be forgotten.

With the day well spent at the beach with a tan line to show for it, head back to town where you have an option of remaining or being dropped back off at your cruise ship, thank you.
