Some of the best Rum I have ever tasted. Took home the Dr. Pepper flavor and a peanut butter one. The tour itself was amazing and the guide was a blast. Definitely doing it again.

Took the three hour island tour for $25 per person. It was worth it! Hurricane damage are still visible but you will still see the beauty of the Island!!!!

We spent the morning having "Diamonds for Breakfast" as we wandered through the various jewelery stores on the dock. If you have any interest in jewelery, it's definitely worth checking out. We were provided with vouchers for free jewelery and stones from a seminar the day before. We scored a free charm bracelet, earrings, a necklace, and a small sapphire just for walking in the stores. As someone who doesn't have hundreds (let alone thousands!) to spend on jewels, it was still an enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours. We also went on the Coastal Cruises Catamaran Tour (booked through Royal Caribbean) in the afternoon. This is beyond worth it. The two-person crew was knowledgeable about the island and pointed out things of interest as we sailed along the Dutch coastline. The rum punch was flowing, we had an excellent viewing of the planes flying in, and there was a spot on board for everyone. I'd definitely recommend laying out on the netted areas in the front of the boat if you get the chance- it's especially exciting once they kick up the speed for the trip back to the port. Overall, although this was the only stop on our itinerary, it was a definite highlight of the trip and I would not hesitate to repeat the day's activities.

We love St. Maarten, St. Martin. This time we decided to do a tour of the island and are so happy we did. It was a great overview of both sides of the island. We have been there many times, but never had a tour.

Beautiful port! There was a nice shopping area the beach was beautiful they Had a really nice restaurant where we had lunch and the service was really nice. My family got on Jetskis they were not expensive at all. It was carnival so we watched the parade that was really nice! Definitely a beautiful island! Wonderful people!

I can envision the beauty this island must have been pre-hurricane but right now it is just destroyed. It was truly heartbreaking to see the damage there but uplifting to see the people persevere through it all. We did the TOP 10 OF ST. MAARTEN and I would recommend this to you as well. Our guide gave us a great history lesson on the island and its people. The beaches here, Maho and Sunset are the prettiest of the whole trip. I pray they are able to bring the glory back to this paradise.
