Excursion Question - St. Maarten

[Auralee]

What is the difference between these 2 excursions? Other than a huge jump in price? Also - when looking at booking the cruise the 2nd one came up - but once I booked it I could only find the city clickers version. Is there something I'm missing? Seems I got a way cheaper deal -- but is the quality there? Anyone done either of these excursions - or they one and the same?

CITY CLICKERS - PICTURESQUE PHILLIPSBURG

 

CITY TOUR | Cod: SMT73

 

This highly entertaining and informative family-friendly tour will have you sleuthing your way through Philipsburg on foot the capital of Sint-Maarten, the southern Dutch half of Saint Martin island in the company of other team members, all to earn points and prove your riddle- and clue-solving mettle against the other team(s). As you work your way through the individual tasks and take snapshots of your finds, map-reading skills will naturally also come in handy. The team that finishes having solved the most clues earns the most points and ultimately wins a prize! After an initial briefing, during which youll also be issued with the list of clues for you to solve, youll have 90 minutes to complete as many of the tasks as you can and take photos by way of proof. Later, after you return, a complimentary drink will be served, answers checked, points awarded and the prize given before you can choose whether to return straight to the ship or spend some time on your own further exploring some of the great locations on your list. Please note: at least one member of each group must have a camera or a smartphone. Guests are recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes.**

SINT MAARTEN ADVENTURE: THE RACE

 

 

SOMETHING SPECIAL

Put on some comfy walking shoes, hone your sense of orientation and prepare to have bags of fun exploring Sint Maartens historical capital of Philipsburg on a light-hearted race in the style of a scavenger hunt. Working in groups of 2 to 10, you can compete against the other teams by solving clues, finding each new destination and carrying out specific tasks to score bonus points. Best of all: the race will let you see parts of Philipsburg that would otherwise remain undiscovered and teams sightseeing with a touch of adventure. Youll score points for both the time you take to finish the course and for the challenges you complete, so the pace you set will be at your discretion. But if you want to win, theres nothing for it but to get a little silly and do things like build a sandcastle, identify an ice cream flavour or let the world at large know: I LOVE SINT MAARTEN. So join the fun and find out first-hand what else this tour has to offer: museums, historical landmarks and perhaps a swim in the Caribbean Sea. Your return to the ship ultimately brings your tour to a close. Please note: guests must be at least 6 years of age to take part. The tour is considered to be unsuitable for guests with mobility problems. Each team will be issued with a mobile phone to contact a tour guide if the need arises; guides will also keep an eye on participants throughout the tour. At least one individual per team must be prepared to go in the sea (flotation devices will be provided). Individuals will be placed in teams of 2-10 participants.
