Birds Birds Birds

If you love birds - this is the place to go. Our guide Andre was very nice and gave us a tour before arriving to the bird spot. We visited the Iguana spot, fed them and also saw a few fun sights prior. At the bird spot, we were able to feed them, let them hang out with us - on us (literally) and enjoy all the colors and sounds. It was a beautiful experience <3

St Maarten Shore Excursion: Orient and Maho Beach Half-Day Tour

Victoria_G, May 2026

Customer service dissatisfaction

Upon the mishap of our group being scheduled for a day we weren’t on St. Maartens, the tour company got it straightened out, but the customer service rep who answered the phone was not accommodating at all. Just kept telling me essentially my reservation had been cancelled and payment had not been received, when I had proof of payment. Amigo tours was awesome!!

St.Martin/St.Maarten Magical Tour

Jaravis_G, May 2026

At the beginning, the...

At the beginning, the tour did not start as planned because somehow they could not find my booking, which was frustrating since everything had already been confirmed. To make matters worse, Viator only provided four pickup locations in the app, when the actual tour company does offer hotel pickup services. The nice lady waiting for us even mentioned that we should not have taken a cab because they could have arranged pickup directly from our hotel. This caused unnecessary confusion and extra transportation costs for our group. Thankfully, once everything was sorted out, Richard, our driver, completely turned the experience around. He was amazing — very patient, professional, and accommodating with our group of eight. He made sure we were comfortable, took us to every location smoothly, and even brought us to an amazing lunch spot. His kindness, positive attitude, and excellent service truly made the tour enjoyable for all of us

Shared Departure Transfer: Hotel to St Maarten Airport

Florida_M, Apr 2026

Excellent service

We were picked around the time stated from our hotel. Young man that picked us up was extremely helpful,courteous and friendly. During the ride he was basically our tour guide which we enjoyed. When we arrived at airport I forgot my phone in the car and we had made it all the way through security by the time I realized. My husband called the phone and the young man answered and said he would bring it back in as far as they would let him. I met him downstairs. I so so appreciative of his willingness to do this! We will be back and use your service again just because of this young man!

St. Maarten Pelican Private Tour

Maciej_F, Apr 2026

We enjoyed the tour!

We decided to book a private tour in Sint Maarten to move at our own pace and skip unnecessary shopping stops—and overall, it was a great decision. The directions from the cruise pier to the meeting point were excellent. It was just a few minutes’ walk from the ship and very easy to find. Our driver was friendly and accommodating, taking us to all the places we wanted to see. The only small downside was that she didn’t introduce herself, so unfortunately we didn’t catch her name. Although the booking mentioned complimentary drinks (soft drinks, beer, and water), these weren’t offered initially—we had to ask for them later on. Our final requested stop was Maho Beach, and we were hoping to stay a bit longer (until around 2:00–2:30 PM). However, we were told we had to be back in Philipsburg by 2:00 PM to finish the tour. That was a bit disappointing, especially since it was a private tour and we would have gladly paid extra for more time—particularly as the beach wasn’t crowded that day. Despite that, we would still recommend Pelican Tours, especially for first-time visitors to Sint Maarten

TERRIFIC DRIVER+ free tour guide experience when we got stuck in Sint Maarten rush hour backed-up traffic from airport!

Poor Sint Maarten has traffic problems—especially flights arriving just before work people and school kids head home, we got stuck! Kevin our driver too back roads to help us get to Philsnurg as fast as possible. Kevin told us stories. He was appropriately quiet Also is well informed and a wonder Sint Maarten tour guide! We like him so well, we called him for another ride on the island. EXCELLENT VIATOR EXPERIENCE!

Yoda Guy Movie Exhibit (Hologram Tour) and Star Wars Celebrity

Cathie_C, Feb 2026

Yoda Museum is the best!

My husband loves all things Star Wars and this museum did not disappoint him. We met Mr Maley and he is such a sweet and interesting gentleman. Such a creative soul. He described some of the processes and way things were intended v what they came out in the theatre. I am so glad he kept his memorabilia and is willing to share with everyone. It is well worth the price of admission and it interested me when I hate Star Wars. Thank you for sharing Mr Maley

FUN DAY St.Maarten Island Sightseeing Tour with Beach

Daven_T, Jan 2026

Ricardo was our driver...

Ricardo was our driver and we had a van with approx 20 people. The itinerary was very flexible as we were able to vote to skip certain stops or go to different ones. Ricardo took us to a secluded quiet beach once we saw how crowded and windy Orient beach was. We also skipped the shopping stop in exchange for more time at Maho beach because that's what the group preferred. That said, if you wanted a certain itinerary but the majority of people voted to change it, then you might be disappointed. Drinks were included on the tour, but we didn't have much opportunity to buy food. We basically drove around the entire island, both French and Dutch side. I recommend this tour.

Guided UTV/ Side by Side Tour of Sint Maarten/ St. Martin

Miguel_T, Nov 2025

A great way to see all of St. Maarten

It’s an excellent experience that takes you on a tour of the entire island. The tour concludes at a beach club, so I highly recommend booking the 9:00 am tour. You’ll arrive at the beach club by 1:30 pm, where you can enjoy a meal and drinks. Afterward, you can take a taxi back to the ship for $5 per person.

Used this service from...

Used this service from the airport and even though our plane was 2 hours late I made sure to let them know. Sure enough they were right outside baggage claim when we arrived! Janelle and Alisha (sp?) were awesome! They gave us their card and we called for a ride to and from our Rain Forest adventure (definitely a great time on the ziplines!) driver again was wonderful- friendly and great conversationalist! On the way back to the airport had another great driver who kept us laughing the whole way to the airport! Highly recommend leaving the driving to these wonderful folks!
