What To Expect
Orient Bay
Orient Bay beach is a must-see while you’re visting the island of St. Martin. This beach on the north-west side of the island is one of the biggest and most popular. It has been given the name “Saint-Tropez of the Caribbean”, and sports fanatics often come here for surfing and other water sports. Orient Bay beach in St. Martin is on the Atlantic Ocean side of the island, and the white sand, swept by the trade winds, stretches for almost 2 kilometers.

Marigot Market
The Marigot market is the meeting not to be missed to live and immerse yourself in the local atmosphere and in the spicy scents. In front of the seafront and not far from Fort Louis, small Creole huts opening onto the street set the scene for this colorful market. The local fruit-vegetable and spice merchants are installed alongside the fishmongers to make you discover the best products of the island.

Maho Beach
A must-see beach in Saint Martin, made famous thanks to its location just at the end of the runway at Princess Juliana International Airport. So go to this beach to watch the landing and take-off of jumbo jets. It is very impressive ! The arrival times are also displayed on a surfboard.
Beware of aircraft jet blast. Your towel and umbrella can fly away!
You can rent deckchairs on the beach here. Maho Beach has turquoise water.
You can even sit on the terrace of the Sunset Grill Bar to watch the attraction. Guaranteed show for airplane enthusiasts but also for the curious!

Rotary Lookout Point
Beautiful nature reserve. Very shallow and you can walk to the little island in the middle of the reserve , water looks deep but it’s extremely shallow and only comes to your ankles . Wear old sneakers or water shoes because it’s very rocky .

Philipsburg is the Dutch capital of the island. The city runs from Salt Pond to the beach on the seafront. The port of Pointe-Blanche hosts cruise ships. Stroll along Front Street and Back Street, the two main streets of the Dutch capital with their duty-free shops and typical houses.

Best ship to airport transfer with tour
paula1947, 29-11-2022
In July I booked Soraida's Orange Taxi transfer and tour for November based on a recommendation in the St. Maaarten Forum area. As usual, this proved to be another super forum gem.
Soraida Richards. Taxi 462
Cell is: (721) 550-3603
Her email is: sosorichards73@gmail.com
Booked for the 6 of us - $45 per person for St. Martin and St. Maarten tour, lunch stop, and delivery to the airport. Soso's twin sister Sonja was our guide for the day beginning at 9 AM at our ship and ending at 2 PM at the airport. Sonja showed us lots of sights and took us to a wonderful outdoor restaurant for a traditional St. Martin outdoor lunch.
Sonja's enthusiasm was contageous, making for a perfect last day of our long vacation.

Raj is the best!

This is the best taxi service on the island! We booked with Raj through google and have used him our whole trip. Very punctual, knowledgeable about the island and very friendly! He was available at any time of the day and we felt very safe! Highly recommend for taxi service or island tour!
A great tour, excellent value

As this was our first trip to St. Maarten, we were looking for an excursion that would acquaint us with the island without being too "touristy". Our guide, Raj, arrived right on time at the resort for a 1100 A.M. pick up, and right from the get go, I could tell this was to be a worthwhile trip. Raj was very welcoming and laid out the planned itinerary for the day. He let us know the day was ours and he would adjust his plans to suit what interested the group. Raj was a wealth of information on many topics as there were many questions from the group covering every imaginable subject from politics on the island to the recipe of the his mother's rum punch, which just happened to be in a cooler in the back of the van and was offered to us at the beginning and end of the tour. Stops along the tour included some of the most popular beaches, an iguana sanctuary , a local chocolatier on the French side of the island (a huge hit with the group), lunch at a great outdoor restaurant called "Sally's", a stop for a few refreshments at a seaside bar and a stop to watch the incoming and outgoing aircraft at the social media -famous Maho beach right at Queen Juliana airport. The day was a great success - if you are looking for an afforable tour with smaller numbers and want to support a family run business, I highly recommend this excursion. Thank you Raj for a great day.
A Great Overview of St. Maarten by Van
jvr052, 26-11-2022
This is a family owned business. Raj, our guide, was wonderful and fun. He has a comfortable van with air conditioning. We toured both the Dutch and French sides. He wasn’t in a hurry and allowed as much time as we wanted at each stop. A thoughtful plus for me was a stool to ease the big step from the van to the ground. He answered all of our questions, many with witty stories. His mother makes a good rum punch from her own recipe. We think it includes mango and peach and lime but we’ll request the exact recipe. Raj gave us drinks at the beginning and end of our tour.
A few highlights. We stopped by the Iguana Sanctuary and fed the iguanas with large green tree leaves on sticks. We drove past the nude beaches. We loved our stop at Maison Chocolat, another small family owned business which makes delicious unique chocolates by hand. We had a nice lunch at Cynthia’s Talk of the Town. He described the luxury homes and private jets and yachts owned by the rich and famous. We watched jets take off and land at the infamous airport. We experienced rush hour St. Maarten style. He added lots of personal stories about growing up here.
I highly recommend this tour for an enjoyable and informative overview of the island.

Fantastic tour!

Raj was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and provided lots of historical facts and anecdotes over the course of the tour, which was a very full six hours. We saw a wide variety of beautiful spots on both sides of the island (Philipsburg, Orient Bay, Grand Case, Marigot, among many), had a great lunch stop at Sally’s as well as a visit to a local chocolatier, Maison Chocolat and a beachside drink at Captain Frenchy’s. We also saw sea turtles and made a stop at the island’s iguana sanctuary. The van provided was air conditioned, clean and comfortable. Throughout, Raj could not have been nicer. We also enjoyed Raj’s mom’s rum punch - some of the best we’ve tasted anywhere. This is a family owned business that works hard to meet the needs and expectations of its customers. Highly, highly recommended!

I highly recommend Sunita Taxi St Maarten. Raykumar and Sunita were very professional, reliable and felt very safe with them. Rajkumar made sure our group of girls were safe at all times and stayed with us until we were where we needed to be.

Nice excursion. They were very flexible and on time for our cruise. I would definitely go back. They went all around the island and show us the important places.
A great beach day with a great guide
Emeott, 12-01-2023
Our favorite part was stopping at a few locations to see the fort, ocean views and iguanas. The beaches were beautiful. The first beach had a wonderful bar, lounge chairs. It was quite and The water was nice. We had lunch at a local restaurant !! The 2nd beach you could watch the planes. He was so kind to stop at a supermarket to get some coins. His van was clean and he knew his island.
