Top St Maarten Day Trips

We toured the Dutch and French areas of St. Maarten. Raj was on time and communicated when he arrived since we were at a resort that was connected to it's other sister resort and would have only one spot for pick ups (which we found out when meeting Raj). He was very knowledgeable and gave some history along with the gorgeous views. He drove the van and was very safe. You'll see there are many motor scooters on the road and he was very cautious. We hung out by a beautiful, great beach in Grand Case where we had some nice drinks at the Tropics Bar and while there we rented beach chairs/umbrella ($10 each person but you don't have to and can just lay on the sand with your towel). When in Marigot, Raj took us to a spot for lunch (Cisca's) where we had the most incredible meals of jerk chicken and coconut shrimp each accompanied with black rice/beans, coleslaw and avocado salad; the price was very reasonable and the food so tasty. I wish we had more time here to visit the local markets but we chose to have a nice lunch and I guess you can't rush good love in food but the scenic view of the waters were wonderful to enjoy with our meal. As we were picked up first, we got to see Bell's Lookout Point on our own and we hiked up to the top spending about 10 minutes where we got some great pictures then went on to pick up the other guests. For us our last stop was watching the planes land at Maho Beach and that is where we decided to end our tour since our hotel was situated there. We enjoyed the casual walk back on the beach and continued to watch the planes. Overall, Raj was really detailed about so many aspects of the island and one simple attraction he took us to to see was a monument where one sign you see Welcome to the French side and the other was Welcome to the Dutch side. I loved that! Raj is simply a nice, friendly person who enjoys meeting people and showing off his lovely island of St. Maarten. I highly recommend this tour.
