Your trip begins by making its way past the Dutch side of the island, under the bridge and into the Simpson Bay Lagoon, the largest lagoon in the Caribbean. There you will see multi-million dollar yachts such as Victoria Secret's "Limitless" and the French Governors family home. Exit the Lagoon on the French side of the island in the capital of Marigot and follow the coast line all the way to our first stop, "Tintamarre Island" where the myth of hidden treasures still exists.Explore Tintamarre, take beautiful photos as you walk along age old paths to see the historical slave walls built in the eighteen hundreds. Wander the pristine white sand beach while looking for hidden treasure, finders keepers...but don't tell anyone! The adventure continues with another gem only obtainable by boat, Pinel Island. Walk along this beautiful sand bar beach, sit down and relax in the crystal clear shallow water and have a drink. We'll treat you to lunch followed by the best snorkeling St.Martin has to offer! Get back in the boat and see the other side of the island where hidden behind the walls and gates of the French and Dutch Low Lands are the beautiful estate homes of the rich and famous. As the day winds down our last stop is at Sunset Beach Bar where you watch the planes come in overhead and then ride the oncoming waves of the Caribbean Sea back to Dock Maarten. « less

I recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great and memorable time while in St. Maarten. The snorkel equipment was in excellent condition and so was the boat. We had Tyrel as our captain which made the trip even better. He was very knowledgeable about the island and funny. We were with a great group for people also and... More

I was at first concerned about the commitment of 6 hours on a boat, "what if it sucked?", well I was completely wrong!!!! This was the last day of our week in St. Maarten and by far the best day of my Caribbean vacation. My husband and I joined a foursome from our hotel that we had been hanging out... More

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 April 2012

Literally. I completely agree with other reviewers that this is a fantastic excursion to take if coming in on a cruise ship. That said, we had a little trouble finding the place and walked right past it. We ended up being the last ones at the dock, despite leaving the ship in plenty of time. As others have noted, the...
