firedug Posted June 20, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Does anyone know if any (and therefore which ones) of the St. Maarten excursions tour the island and also stop or at least go by the beach that's near the end of the island runway? I think it's Maho beach or something like that. Also of Aruba, Curacau, St. Maarten and St. Thomas which is best (or perhaps least desireable) for scuba diving. thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will ask whether you want to go to the Dutch side or the French side. The Dutch side wears bathing suits but they are optional on the French side. Have fun, it's a great beach.

Arizona Laura Posted June 20, 2007 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2007 We used Bernard at info@sxmtours.com Maho Beach with the planes is a must see. Bernard was great. We loved St Martin. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisneyBlonde Posted June 20, 2007 #4 Share Posted June 20, 2007 See if Joyce Prince is available. She'll take you wherever you want to go. www.joyceprince.com The big planes come in at Maho after 1 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzlepop Posted June 20, 2007 #6 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I thought I was posting a picture of an airliner 40 feet above the beach, but no go. That's the thing with the planes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, snorkeling: St Thomas is better than St Maarten. Sapphire beach was great for snorkeling. Took a cab for $5 a person and on the way back, got the greatest tour from our cab driver, of the island for $20 for both of us. Haven't been to Aruba or Curacao yet though.

Sue L Posted June 20, 2007 #8 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Curacao would be the best place for scuba in my view. There is a wonderful underwater snorkel park near a sunken tug. The whole area was filled with fish and there was a really deep underwater wall/cliff. We could see the scuba diver bubbles way down below us.

Arizona Laura Posted June 20, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Look at these pictures from an earlier thread. It is just a great experience to look at the planes coming toward you from a distance and then they are right overhead. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=573736 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Another vote for Bernard! We saw a lot of both sides of the island, and had about a 2 hour stop at Maho, saw several small planes and 2 or 3 big jets.

Rala Posted June 20, 2007 #11 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Have to tell the other side! We booked Bernard (4 of us) and he never showed up. I know many here speak highly of him and maybe he just had a bad day, but I thought you should know this before booking him. There were many other guides right there where we we were supposed to meet him. All knew who he was and it seems if he was unavoidably detained, he could have found some way to let us know. All the guides had cell phones and there was a manned information booth right there. But I guess I need that "Don't worry, be happy" island mentality!!!

dachshunddoglover Posted June 20, 2007 #12 Share Posted June 20, 2007 We had Bernard and he was fantastic. It was a 7 hour tour for a fantastic price. Very highly recommend. E-Beth :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
