Scam

jabbo_H, Jan 2026
The driver Noel never showed up. Its a Scam. This was a birthday gift ended up in tears. Its a shame for Viator. Look at the other reviws.

Loved this beach...

WENDY_P, Feb 2025
Loved this beach excursion. The views of the airplanes coming over were great! Good area for food and drinks also.

Rip off! He never showed and won’t refund.

** DONT DO IT ** Tour guide never showed up. Messaged him twice trying to find out where to meet and for instructions never responded. Waited for 1/2 with no one showing up so requested refund. Ended up having to find another tour to jump on since we only had a limited time in port. He hasn’t refunded my money. Do not book with this guy.

Not as advertised!

Grant_M, Dec 2022
Our experience was not as advertised! Start time was unclear … one description said 8AM and another said 9AM. Multiple attempts to clarify via email were never answered. Driver arrived 90 minutes after the published pick up time. There was no tour, no narration, no explanations … merely dropped us off at the beach and said he’d be back in 2 1/2 hours. Upon return there was no beverages offered (as advertised) and dropped us back at the pier. Friend’s hired a taxi, had a better experience for 1/2 the price.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thank you for your revue. Sorry for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. We will work these issues.

Noel went above and...

Aimee_S, Oct 2022
Noel went above and beyond on our tour of the island. He was pleasant and professional, while giving us an insiders view of St Martin. I would 100% recommend him and would gladly book another tour with him.

Noel was great
