Very nice experience must... - Very nice experience must see for tourists! Busy and crowded beach go early if you want a good spot . Famous for its unique location at the end of princess Juliana international airport runway . Where planes fly extremely low overhead.

Best Plane Spotting. Ever! - Maho Beach has a VERY narrow strip of sand. This isn't the right beach for sunbathers, but is excellent for plane spotters like myself. I don't know what I enjoyed more, watching the planes or watching the unsuspecting people get toppled by the incredibly strong waves.

Plane departure rush - Amigo Tours gave us a wonderful experience. Denzel was a great tour guide. A real St Maarten enthusiastic that transmitted the love he has for that marvelous island.
Kids had a blast at Maho Beach with the arriving and departing of planes nearby.
Really glad we booked this tour.

Greta Excursion - The experience was great to have the planes land over you on the beach. I would definitely recommend and also do again myself.

A good experience !! - The experience was good watching the planes take off and land whilst having a drink in the sunset bar. We were there for over 3 hours but to be honest 2 hours is long enough.

Started off good and then... - Started off good and then our driver never came back to pick us up. We needed to be back to the cruise port to leave by 430 and we informed him previously. Apparently there was an accident which is understandable but every other service was there and left within due time. We ended up needing to take a taxi back to the port with other families on our cruise and just made it with 10 minutes to spare. And had to pay for it too. Terrible experience. I don’t know what we would have done if we missed the departure.

Overrated & OVERPRICED - Booked this excursion through Royal Caribbean. “Excursion”consisted of a bus ride to the beach and back. At $75/person, it was $150. A cab ride from the port to the same place is $9/person. The beac is about 20 feet wide and was packed. So many rocks that you might twist an ankle getting down there. A definite tourist trap. It’s kind of neat when a plane flies over, but after one time, it’s pretty much done.
If you’re going to go, just get a cab and save some $$
