St. Maarten Speedboat Snorkeling and Beach Tour
Discover the highlights on both the French and Dutch sides of St. Maarten on this snorkeling and speedboat tour. Relax with a guaranteed on-time return to your cruise ship and the convenience of having everything, including lunch, drinks, and snorkeling gear, included. After your cruise ship docks, walk a short distance to Dock Maarten Marina to board your speedboat. Your first stop will be at the uninhabited Tintamarre Island. After a briefing on how to use the provided gear and floatation device, go snorkeling in the protected reserve, home to turtles and stingrays. The next stop is Pinel Island, where you can relax with a drink, refuel with lunch, and shop for souvenirs. Enjoy another snorkeling stop at Creole Rock, before a dip in the water at Mullet Bay or Long Bay, both known for beautiful beaches. Your last stop will be at Maho Beach, to watch the plans taking off and landing overhead.
Highlights
- ✓Guarantee on-time return to catch your cruise ship
- ✓Snacks and drinks
- ✓Use of snorkeling equipment
- ✓Commentary on local marine ecosystem and St. Maarten history
What you'll see & do
- ✓Captain Bob's most popular speed boat, snorkeling and beach tour is a full day, 5 stop adventure of a lifetime that is uniquely designed to show you the very best of both the French and Dutch sides of Sint Maarten/St. Martin. Departing from Philipsburg, you'll first head past the islands of Saba, Statia and St. Barts before passing under the bridge into Simpson Bay Lagoon, the biggest lagoon in the Caribbean. While sightseeing in the lagoon you will be taken aback by the size of the million dollar "mega yachts" of the rich and famous that frequent the island in the wintertime. After officially crossing onto the French side of the island you will make your way around Marigot, Happy Bay, Friar's Bay and finally Grand Case.
- ✓Your first stop is the island of Tintamarre, an uninhabited island within the French Nature Reserve that is only accessible by boat and where large groups are forbidden, a great way to escape the cruise ship crowds. Here your knowledgable captain will give you a brief tutorial, provide you with snorkel gear and flotation devices and send you off to snorkel with the protected sea turtles and stingrays that reside there.
- ✓From there it's on to Pinel Island- a breathtaking place that boasts calm, waist-deep waters and swaying palm trees. It's the ultimate spot to unwind and relax with a drink in your hand and your feet in the soft sand. A delicious lunch will be served at Pinel, all included in the price. Before leaving don't forget to check out the boutique for souvenirs/gifts and say hello to the friendly local iguanas!
- ✓Next it's off to Creole Rock for another snorkel stop but this time at a vibrant coral reef with some of the most colorful fish and marine life in all of the Caribbean. Once everyone is safely back on board, you'll continue around the Northern side of island passing Baie Rouge, Plum Bay and the rest of Terres Basses, the most expensive zip code on the island.
- ✓Enjoy one last dip in paradise at either Long Bay or Mullet Bay- both universally recognized as some of the top beaches in the world. This is your last chance to grab "a noodle and a beer" and float around in the stunning turquoise waters while jamming to some of your favorite tunes. Drinks are complimentary all day long!
- ✓Last but not least, make one last stop at the famous Princess Juliana International Airport to experience the thrill of the commercial jets taking off and landing directly over your head. You'll be sad to see the day end as we drop you back off at the dock but the memories you’ve made will last a lifetime!
