Escursione a terra da Sint Maarten: Tour di mezza giornata a Orient e Maho Beach

We stopped at St. Maarten on a cruise stop and I only wish we had more time to visit. We went to Orient Beach first- it was a beautiful beach. There was a lot of seaweed on the beach, as well as some floating in the water, but the atmosphere was calm and peaceful. I highly recommend supporting their re-building by renting chairs/umbrellas and/or water sports equipment, or buying from the locals. We then headed to Maho Beach, where we got to see several planes arrive and depart. What a cool experience! I definitely recommend this half-day tour, which also provides drinks and transportation believe it or not, there is a lot of traffic!.

Way too much driving. They don't go by ship time. Make sure to check the timing in your notes to be on time.

Wellington was the best tour guide ever! He put up with some very drunk people and made the trip fun. Trip was switched from Orient Beach to 2 beaches on the Dutch side due to the Hurricane. Can't understand the reviews of a few who say they were at Orient in January as we still were cancelled in May?? Maho was just ok....Food at the Sunset bar sucked but it was fun to see the planes fly over. Overall we had fun though....thanks to Wellington! Good luck getting that roof on your house!

Awesome excursion, great service and great guide. Traveled with my mom and two boys. All enjoyed it, especially Maho Beach. Couldn't go to Orient Beach due to the hurricane damage, but we were taken to another beautiful beach. Would definitely do this excursion again.

Both beaches were amazing. I wish there would have been more time at each beach because we didn't want to leave. Maho beach was thrilling and made great memories.

We had booked 10 people on this tour and we all had a great time as the guide was fantastic.. Gave us all kinds of unique and interesting information about St Maarten and the recent destruction from the hurricanes.. I've rated it 4 stars only because Orient beach was destroyed by hurricane last September, and Viator never updated us that our trip would not include this beach now 6 months later. We did go to a substitute beach which was excellent but on the Dutch side. Maho Beach and the airplanes were great, but not many planes as very few tourists are flying into St Maarten at this time. On Orient beach, 85 restaurants and bars were destroyed, and because all building approvals have to come from Paris, it was last week before 3 building permits could be approved. Our guide also told us that all the sand was blown off the beach and has just now started to be washed back, but its mostly rocks. I feel so bad for the people of St Maarten because this storm was a category 5 plus no higher rating, but consisted of 185 mph sustained winds and gusts to 240mph. There is destruction everywhere. They are projecting that it will be 5 years before everything will be back to normal. At the airport, they are running arrivals and departures out of tents as the main terminal is still being rebuilt. In any case, if your cruise ship is coming here, I would certainly recommend this tour as it did go all around the island and was very interesting.

Anthony from Amigo Tours was an amazing tour guide. He shared his beautiful island home with us. Despite the devastation from Hurricane Irma, he was so upbeat and made the bus ride fun even when we were stuck in traffic. We hope to come back to St. Maarten again someday.

We had a great tour of St Martin. Our shuttle driver was funny and informative. We first stopped at Fryers beach because Orient beach is closed because of the hurricane. It's a beautiful beach. After a few hours he picked us up to head to Baho Beach. It was so much fun swimming in the ocean here.

Awesome time. Thank you!

We had so much fun, Orient Beach was clean and beautiful, also Maho Beach and Airport were thrilling.
