We stumbled across Felix with Strickly Business and we hit the jackpot for a private island tour! Felix was fun and informative. We saw both St Maarten (Dutch side) and St Martin (French side). We stopped at some great places. We fed iguanas, stopped at the fort, hung out at the airport beach, had lunch at a great local place, stopped at a couple beaches, had fresh coconut at a beach. Felix promised a great 2 to 2-1/2 hr tour and we ended up closer to 4 hours. It was far less than any of the cruise ship excursions. We really felt like we saw the whole island and we had a great time with Felix!

We had a private tour of the island with SXM Vacances. Our guide was Cecile. She was very knowledgeable about the island and very pleasant. We spent 4 hours with Cecile and saw most of the French and Dutch sides. I would recommend this tour and guide to everyone.

It has been a year and 3 months since the hurricane made Sint Maarten ground zero and much still has to be rebuilt. It cost us $85 for two person for a 2.5 hour tour that included the french side, fort, Mahoy Beach and airport, Phillipsburg and points in between. On the ship a similar tour would have been about $ 80 each on a big motor coach. We had Vidal and his Toyota land cruiser all to ourselves. Like having a personal photographer and historian all in one. Phillipsburg is almost rebuilt but in the interior it is another story with several resorts destroyed, many sailing ships destroyed and many homes still being rebuilt. We were in Phillipsburg on a day where it rained on and off so the tour was a last minute decision. Glad we took it and we still had plenty of time to explore the shops in Phillipsburg. Also recommend taking the port water taxi from your cruise ship berth to the downtown - only $7 return. You can also book longer tours.

We were excited to go back to St. Maarten, we booked the tour through Royal Caribbean, Harmony of the Seas. The Ultimate Island Tour, $64 for each adult. Our tour guide was “Wendy” from London, every time someone asked her a question, she would take offense, and respond with a sarcastic answer. We were in St. Maarten all day, was very disappointed with the island and the tour. I would not do this tour again and do not want to go back to St. Maarten. It was extremely dirty.
The next day we went to San Juan and only had 4 hours in, we could have spent several days there, it was incredibly clean and we loved it.

Hi Betsy, the "Ultimate Island Tour" is not offered by our company, would you be so kind as to remove this review from our listing as it doesn't represent the level of service we aim to offer our guests through our St Maarten island experiences we offer. We recommend you look for the accurate page that represents the business service you used. Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

Where to begin!!! The worst day of my vacation turned into the very best because of Miguel and Diane! To begin with, let me say I wear leg braces that I can’t go without and I NEVER know when I’m going to run into for obstacles when we book these excursions. As we approached the beautiful SCARAB, everyone was taking their sandals off and placing them in a tote. I told Miguel and Diane I CAN’T take my braces off. Miguel looks at me and says, “You’re in” and helped me board the boat!!! What an AMAZING day!!! If Miguel had not been the skilled captain he was, we would’ve been terrified because of huge sea swells but it was “off-the-chart” AMAZING!!! With the several stops made for snorkeling, I wasn’t able to get off the boat due to the very small stairs but DIANE and Miguel offered to get me in and out of the boat. What was so appreciated and totally unexpected was that our Captain, Miguel and Diane, at our lunch stop, dealing with extremely high surf, several non-swimmers, and anchor that let go due to the strength of the surf, brought my husband and I lunch on the boat!!!! We had a very nice lunch chatting with Miguel. We’ve NEVER had such an exhilarating and FUN excursion and the kindness shown to me due to my limitations will never be forgotten!! We’ll see you again, next trip!!! We highly recommend this amazing excision as you travel to the beautiful island of St. Maarten!!!

Alexandre was fantastic. Very accommodating. Changed the tour to fit our schedule. Also included the taxi ride to the airport on our departure day which also changed pickup times several times due to our schedule and was very flexible. Made sure we saw the whole island. Very informative and very enjoyable tour. Highly recommend him while you are on the island.

Did the island tour with Alexander from the Little Divi. His tour was AWESOME. It was very informative and we saw the whole island as well as the devastation from Irma.

Alex grew up on the island and knows a ton of history which my daughters enjoyed. The highlights of the tour were seeing a family of Spider Monkeys, Feeding the Iguanas, Maho Beach Plane Landing, David’s Hole and being served wine and the best Pina Colada I’ve ever had.

I highly recommend his tour. Definitely worth the money and a great way to see the ins and outs of the island.

If you get to go there and you want to see the Island I would recommend this tour because you get about 4 1/2 hours to see the important places around the island learning about the history , culture and food.
