Great tour with Captain Kenneth - Our tour guide Captain Kenneth was fantastic. He offered great narrative and humor to our experience. Time at orient beach was relaxing and beautiful. Maho beach was a fun experience though we opted to observe the planes from the shoreside restaurant.

Great Tour - If was great to see both the Dutch and French sides of the Island. Our tour guide went all out to make sure we had an awesome experience! Feedback for Amigo Tours, be more specific about where to meet to start the tour. Also, our tour guide wanted us to have a wonderful experience, so the tour ran an hour over. We made it back to the ship 30 minutes before all aboard. We were a bit nervous. All ended well though!!

St Maarten plane watching - Great time for plane watching in Maho beach. We arrived just before 4 of the major airlines landed. Watch some smaller planes take off. Water was nice and warm.
Was concerned for a while as not sure if the van would make it up the hills. Driver got us back to port by 4pm ship time.

Orient beach is amazing - Read online about Le String before we went. $20 for two drinks, two chairs and an umbrella was a good deal. They’re French so aren’t the most friendly people but not rude. We spent 90 min there but would have like to stay there longer. After Orient we went to Maho and spent another 90 min. That’s maybe a tops 30 min stop. Way too crowded

Avoid - Nothing of interest. Nice beach and that’s all. Very little shopping venues. Areas visited were dull and dirty. Waste of time.
