Top St Maarten Bus Tours

This excursion was 10/10 with the most beautiful stops and sightings. We were lucky and swam right next to sea turtles at Tintamarre Island!! Another beautiful beach had lots of iguanas and little shops. We had lunch at Lolo's area and cleaned up our plates (ribs & chicken). It was neat watching everyone barbecue and prepare meals. Bring something to drink with lunch or buy a drink there as it is not included with your lunch; tip them too, they work hard! We saw children in school with their teacher who was giving swim lessons in the sea, how awesome?! The amount of people in the boat was perfect; three of us and a family of nine who brought along their sweet and happy infant who loved riding the waves! Captain Fly and Noah were extremely kind, accommodating, and fun! They told us about the island in various places and it was so interesting. We loved everything about this unforgettable excursion! Book it if you want to have fun!!! HELPFUL TIPS & INFO: We booked this on Viator prior to a sailing with Icon of the Seas. You take a left out of the cruising village gate and follow the main road sidewalk until you find the description from your booking. After the tour, you can get back to the cruise port via boat ferry or walking back. A lady or person will take your lunch order and collect the $10/person for fees prior to getting on the boat. Also bring cash for souvenirs if you choose at one of the stops, lunch tip/lunch drink, ferry boat ride back to port (unless you walk back which we did), and good tips for your hosts because these guys deserve it!!! ***BIG TIP: If you have children that will snorkel, bring their own snorkel gear. They did not have child sizes. I left mine on the ship for my daughter and wish I hadn't but we made do! And WEAR THE FINS, especially if at Tintamarre Island b/c the boat is a good distance from the shore and you'll spend the entire stop swimming there and back without fins lol LASTLY: DO NOT TRUST a waterproof cell phone case. Only bring a GoPro or make sure to test the case very well before you're out in the ocean. I upgraded to a larger "waterproof" phone cover from Amazon and it failed twice (yes it was closed correctly). My phone did not turn on for the remainder of our cruise. Still worth it but don't be like me :) AGAIN, definitely book this tour!
