Tours & Guided Tours in St Maarten

111 tours in St Maarten, from €23 to €818 per person, average rating 4.8 based on 33299 reviews.

St Maarten tours work both sides of the island, the Dutch south with the cruise pier at Philipsburg and the French north with Marigot and Orient Bay, and most of the 111 tours here can pick up on either. Each was picked by hand after we read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is the Topper's rum distillery visit from €23 per person; the most expensive are private catamaran charters priced per boat and the full day speed boat runs to Anguilla.

Boat tours leave from Simpson Bay and Philipsburg, so check which marina your listing names; the island is small but the lagoon bridge opening times cause traffic. Trips to Anguilla or Saint Barthélemy cross a border and need a passport plus a port fee that is rarely in the price. ATV listings price per machine for two riders more often than per person. Cruise days bring several ships to Philipsburg, and the tours built for them state a return time. The best reviewed tours in St Maarten come first below.

Viator lists 434 tours for St Maarten. We screened all of them and kept 111: rated 4.5★ or higher by 30+ travellers, real tours only, each one read and summarised by Guidekin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose the public Catamaran Day Sail for a slower sail; choose Captain Bob's speedboat for Pinel and Tintamarre stops if you are comfortable with a fast ride that can be wet. For example, the public Catamaran Day Sail visits Mullet Bay and Little Bay: €132 per person, rated 4.97 from 1,856 reviews. Captain Bob's Speed Boat & Snorkeling visits Pinel and Tintamarre: €135 per person, rated 4.93 from 4,486 reviews. The sail has no hotel pickup.
