22 tours · €36–€172 per person · ★ 4.8
Island tours in St Maarten cross two countries in an afternoon: Philipsburg and Maho Beach on the Dutch side, Marigot's market and Orient Bay on the French, with the border a sign on the road. We picked 22 island tours by hand, read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is a shared best of the island bus tour from €36 per person; the most expensive are private sightseeing vans priced per group and the combos that add a turtle swim at the end.
Shared island tours are built around cruise ship hours and run from Philipsburg, so hotel guests on the French side should check pickup. Maho Beach plane watching depends on the flight schedule, and the big jets land in the early afternoon. Lunch and the Marigot market are stops where you pay your own way, and the rum punch tastings are included. Private tours quote per vehicle for up to eight, which beats the bus for a family.
