Shore Excursions in Philipsburg

Leave the crowds behind and enjoy a day of snorkeling and beaches while our experienced, local guides relate the historical and current highlights of our island home. Our small group tour allows you to enjoy the day at your own pace. Maximize your snorkeling time without the constraint of bells or whistles calling you back to the boat. Relax, sit back and let the knowledgeable guides show you all that this beautiful island has to offer. Our all inclusive price includes transportation/pickup, drinks, food and snorkel gear rental. We have been touring this island for over 10 years and we have a few little surprises that you won't see on many of the other cookie-cutter, crowded, big boat tours!

Immerse yourself in the history and natural landscape of St. Maarten on a day trip to the island's highest mountain, with convenient pick-up and drop-off from the Philipsburg port. The day starts with admission to an historic plantation museum that educates visitors about the island's legacy of slavery. Afterwards, take in sweeping views of the island and ocean rarely seen by visitors from a chair lift ride.

Discover the protected waters of St Maarten's Creole Rock on a half-day snorkeling tour from Philipsburg. Enjoy a leisurely boat trip ride to the popular bird rookery and delve into an underwater world teeming with barracuda, sea turtles and frogfish. Swim among clear shallow waters then refuel on deck with cold beers and snacks. Even non-swimmers can enjoy the beauty and amenities of the coastal cruise. This shore excursion guarantees on on-time return to your port of call.

While your ship is in St Maarten's port, swim and lounge at Orient Beach and Maho Beach on this half-day shore excursion. Jet ski, paraglide or sail at Orient Beach, then grab a snack at one of the many bars and restaurants there. Travel to Maho beach and watch jumbo jets fly overhead to land at the nearby airport. A guide, complimentary refreshments and round-trip transportation from the cruise port are included.
