vwrestler171 Posted June 7, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Will be taking my wife and 2 kids to St Maarten on the Vista in January. What is the best way to visit Maho Beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caribsun Posted June 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Cab, around 8.00 p/p ea way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCruisers Posted June 7, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Keep in mind the Maho Beach is in awful condition. You might want to go for a little while to see the low flying planes ... but you don't want to plan to spend the day there. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtaylor Posted June 8, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 8, 2016 You may not plan to spend the day at Maho (and Mullet, next door is really nice), but the condition of the beach today certainly doesn't fortell the condition in January, or even next week. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfer1966 Posted June 21, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Not 100% sure of the price, but I think 40 pp, They will take you to the beach in an AC Van and also stop at Maho for some plane spotting. Tour includes drinks. We liked it cuz we got to go to the beach and see planes too. They also stopped at an area so we could souvenirs if we wanted.

tinkandpan Posted June 25, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Golfer1966. Did you prebook the tour? Or are you able to do it when you get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauraodonnell86 Posted June 25, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 25, 2016 https://www.shoreexcursioneer.com/st-maarten/beach-bum-orient-maho.html We have done this excursion twice and it is the BEST. You really can't beat the price. And drinks are included during the ride from the cruise port to the beaches. Like someone else said, Maho isn't the best beach to relax on but it's a once in a lifetime experience and with this excursion, you get to visit Orient Beach as well which is AMAZING!! You get about 2 hours at each beach. Amigo tours runs it. They are the best and they give you commentary the whole time while driving. Let me know if you have any questions!

miss_rach Posted July 21, 2016 #9 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thanx we might try that vs getting a cab/bus and going at it on our own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkandpan Posted July 22, 2016 #10 Share Posted July 22, 2016 We just got back. We took a city can tour right outside the port. We told the woman where we wanted to go and she switched the itinerary of the regular city circle to include maho. Honestly the 30 minutes we were there was enough. We saw three planes land and one take off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks great to me - we will be there in December on RCCL Jewel. It says it is a 4.5 hour tour - and our ship will be in dock from 8 - 5, so we could do the 9 or 11 tour - decisions, decisions. Thank you so much for sharing this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
