15 Absolute MUST DO Activities in St. Maarten - [As Recommended by a Local]

[@ghorton48]

I lived in St. Maarten island years ago. I will be visiting next month. This is one of my favorite islands. Can't wait to see some friends and family

[@TotallyPeppez]

I love you lol I feel like every time I come on here to plan vacation your video is the first to come up 💜 🇹🇹

[@Tripweaver]

What can I say - I came, I saw, I followed her advice, and I had a marvelous visit. If you're going to shop in Philipsburg in the off season, go on a day when ONE cruise ship is in port. You will have to compete with the cruise passengers, but at least the shops will be open. Often many stores close if there is no cruise ship in port.

A well done video which i enjoyed seeing since I grew up in that part of the Caribbean and is very familiar with those sight seeing areas.

[@sashadiamond3062]

One of the last places you’d think about is the Costco clone CostULess. It was so much fun shopping for cheap alcohol there and the prices are awesome compared to the US.

[@WHATsYOUR914]

I should have watched your video Before visiting Maho Beach. It was beautiful and overcrowded. I enjoyed the planes but did not find variety of food or places to sit and relax, not kid friendly either. 3:32

[@Travel.OshunWAVE]

Very good information

[@MsRichelle22]

You touched on nightlife, but didn't get into specifics. I've read that the dutch side has more nightlife, but what about orient bay? Are you able to give some information about best spots for drinks at night? Thanks!~

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

Simpson Bay and Maho are the nightlife hotspots. Orient is day time mostly.

[@yaadfyrl]

Question about hiking alone. Id like to check out devil's cupper and the cupecoy caves but im travelling solo. Is it a safety concern to go alone??

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

Best to go with a hiking company

Hi, what is the name of the tubing company ?

[@steventwiddy3402]

When you come off the boat is there an immigration office there to get your passport stamped ?

[@TheTravelingIslandGirl]

Depends what boat you mean. If it’s a cruise ship the answer is probably not

[@steventwiddy3402]

@@TheTravelingIslandGirl yeah it’s wonder of the seas the first week of February

[@VIRGINIA304]
