- Rotary Lookout Point - Relish the tranquil views at this part of French St. Martin’s expansive Nature Reserve. The shallow waters of Lucas Bay/Coralita offer a refreshing respite for tired feet. Note: this is not a swimming location.
- Oyster Pond - Situated on the route from Lucas Bay/Coralita back to Philipsburg, this area straddles French and Dutch territories. Primarily residential, it features a few smaller guest accommodations and a marina. From the hillside, enjoy views of two beachfront resorts: one on the Oyster Bay coast and another at neighboring Dawn Beach. A simple roadside sign marks the border, with no formalities required!
- Great Bay Beach - After touring the island by Jeep, relax at the stunning Great Bay Beach, visible from your ship. Three-quarters of this 2-mile-long beach is bordered by the Boardwalk, bustling with beach bars, restaurants, and boutiques. The remaining unpaved stretch is serene and largely undeveloped. Fantastic shopping is nearby on Front Street, Back Street, and Old Street. Discover excellent photo opportunities within walking distance, such as the charming Creole homes with their distinctive Gingerbread trims.

St. Marteen Jeep Tour - Our guide, Prez, was very knowledgeable, courteous, and provided five star service. We did a scenic picturesque tour, stopped for a delicious guavaberry colada at the Pirate Hideout at Orient Beach, and finished off at the Rum and Reggae Beach Break for some quality beach time.

The Best Way to See the Island! - What a great way to see the island! Pres took us all around, stopping at numerous beautiful spots for photos and sharing the history behind each location. He pointed out incredible viewpoints on both the Dutch and French sides, giving us a well-rounded experience of the island.
Pres was fun, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. He also gave us fantastic suggestions that helped us plan additional activities for the rest of our trip — things we didn’t even know were options! Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the island in a fun and informative way. 😎

Good but delays - When we arrived at the port, we had to wait in the shuttle for quite a while before departing. Once we reached the business location, there was another long wait. In total, we lost about an hour and a half due to delays. Unfortunately, this significantly reduced our beach time at the end of the excursion. We were supposed to have a full hour at the beach but only ended up with about 20 minutes.
Additionally, when we arrived at the beach, we ordered food, but many items on the menu were unavailable. The food also was not ready in a timely manner, and we ended up having to take it with us back to the boat.
Overall, the delays and lack of organization impacted our experience and enjoyment of the excursion.

Jeep Tour - We were picked up at the cruise pier, taken to a separate destination to board the jeeps, and guided on a tour with several stops. Our tour guide, Alvin, was excellent! Very informative and conscientious about keeping our jeeps together. He was willing to take pictures and was extremely personable. We appreciated that we were able to leave the beach when we wanted to at the end and were provided transportation back to the cruise pier. Our only frustration was the length of time we had to wait at the front end of the tour before boarding our jeeps. It seemed rather unorganized at that location as they were taking out 4x4s, jeeps and others directly to a beach.

Great tour of St Martin but longer than expected - The overall Jeep tour of the island had great stops on both the French and Dutch side. However, our 9:00am tour didn't start until 10:00am as we had to wait for a guide as apparently our original guide could not make it into work. We encountered a lot of traffic at times which slowed down the tour and put us further behind schedule. Arrived at the beach over 2.5 hours later than scheduled and then could not fit everybody in the transport shuttle back to the port so we had to wait another 45 minutes for the shuttle to return. This cut it very close getting back to the port on time to board our ship by 4:30pm.

Stay away if the tour guide is Clyde - This was, by far, the worst tour experience I've ever had. We were the only ones booked, so we rode in the jeep with the tour guide. The tour guide, Clyde, said NOTHING the entire tour. The only thing he shared was that he had done another tour earlier in the day. I was expecting to learn about the island as we drove around. He literally just dropped us off at each location and told us what time to be back. We got more insight from the taxi drivers who drove us around during our stay. Once we made it close to where we were staying, we just asked him to drop us off nearby. It was just that awful. I will be filing a formal complaint.
