The boat rides were as much fun as the snorkeling. I love to snorkel, but the boats were a blast. You get to ride in your own 2 person boat as you follow the tour guide to Creole Rock on the other side of the island. More

I had a awesome time on the Rhino Riders. It was a great way to enjoy the ocean. The staff was fun, funny and helpful. Will absolutely do this one again when I can get back to St Martin. More

Essentially, a jet ski trip of about 30 minutes to a snorkle area. Snorkle for about 45 minutes and jet ski back. It was fun to do a water activity but it was nothing special. More

We were on a cruise and we stopped in St. Maarten, and tried this attraction. It was very fun riding the waves on the Rhino Riders, and as it was rough that day, we caught some air. The guides are great. They take you through a harbor out to the ocean, to look at the various beaches. They stop at... More

To make this brief, the rhinos are basically ruggedized rafts with motors, meant for single riders or an average size guy with a petite mate. The staff doesn't make that clear. I carry some bulk on my athletic frame and my wife is tall woman. We went through changing crafts twice, along with another customer of some heft, admitedly he... More

Thank you for your comments. Our Boats are10 foot watercrafts with a max of 400 pounds for the best performance. Some boats are trimmed for lighter persons and some have bigger engines to carry 450 pounds. When the seas are choppy sometime water gets into your boat with slashing and that makes extra weight to carry... so we have to... More

It's a fun time, about 2 1/2 hrs. The little "boats" are easy to maneuver even if you are not a boater. Snorkeling at Creole rock is great! One negative.....Boat Butt!!! Those seats do not have much padding. Ride the waves like a jockey, and keep your butt slightly off the seat to reduce the pounding. More

We went on the Rhino tour on a cruise excursion in St. Maarten. Upon arriving at the location, we were told that we would have to leave everything in laundry baskets that would be placed in an office. As cruise passengers, we all had our passports and wallets with us and some were not comfortable with leaving our valuables; in... More

We had a great time, we did not want it to end. Our guide Mark was so fun and we felt very safe. It was so lovely and the snorkeling was fun. Try and get a fast boat if you can- makes it even better. Well worth the money! More

We booked the Rhino Riders on a recent cruise and it was one of our favorite excursions. The guides were organized and quickly gathered us from the pier and bussed us to the facility, We had a safety briefing and overview of the trip - and the guides did a great job of clearly explaining the important details, had a...

Thanks for being here and happy to know you had a good time. The snorkeling is not always great due to our fine sand that sometimes get stirred up due to waves... since the fish have different beach options :-) ... they come and go. We prefer to give a heads up to everyone when it's not the discovery channel... More
