    The tour was fine, my problem is with Viator. After booking the tour, the operator emailed to say the time was 9.30am, this was 11 days before the tour. When viator issued the ticket the day before the tour it stated a time of 10.15am, sorry if I see a ticket saying 10.15am I am not going to remember an email from 11 days previous. There was a driver from another tour from the same company who arrived at 10.30am & contacted the other drive & got him go pull in & he then brought me to the correct bus, I arrived over an hour late. The whole situation was a complete mess. How the tour operator & the selling agent are not in the same page is very strange.

    For the price, the tour is worth it. However, I have two issues. The ticket time said 10:15, I received an email advising the tour will start at 9:30, which is fine. I made it to the tour pickup at 9:30am and was told the tour group left already. We had to wait until 9:56am for someone to take us to the first stop to meet the tour group. Another tour guide was at the site for a different excursion, he stated that he will take us to meet the group when everyone from his tour arrives. Around 9:56am, another guy pulled up in a van and took us. Perhaps the company was told pretty late that we was there, but we was there for 9:30. When we arrived to our first stop to meet the group, I asked the guide how come they left early, she said, because everyone else was here and i decided no need to wait until 10:15, so we we left at 9:15. It appears that the tour guide was not told that the actual meet time was 9:30. I believe if she was aware, which she should have been, I believe she would have waited until 9:30 for us. That was one issue, the second was that we didn’t spend 45 minutes at Maho beach, the tour guide said we can go and watch 2 planes and come back. Last but not least, the rum punch was good, but they give you a shot of rum punch, in a shot type cup, so don’t expect an actual cup, it’s unlimited though. That’s my honest opinion and experience.Viator has rectified the situation and took it upon themselves to satisfy us. Thank you Viator! The initial issue was bad judgement by the tour guide for leaving early, but my lasting impression was due to the company not apologizing for my experience. I paid what they requested me to pay to book the tour, but I missed out on some value of the amount paid based on my experience. I wish I was able to stay at Orient beach longer, such a beautiful beach, and Maho beach for the full time. I really wanted to get the right pictures of the planes flying overhead, I had to rush back to the bus so we wouldn’t keep everyone waiting too long. If we had the full 45 minutes, I would have loved it and wouldn’t feel rushed.

    The best part of the experience was seeing the planes take off and land it was absolutely amazing. Prior to reaching Maho beach our tour guide made several stops including orient beach for about 30 mins and then to the French side to eat where we stayed about an hour and then a couple more stops around the island which was okay but I just was interested in doing the Maho beach. After we did all the other stops the other people in the van wanted to leave and go back to the ship and I told the driver no, the only reason I came on this tour was to see the planes. The driver was cool he got us there and back to the ship in one piece. I would recommend the tour to see the planes I got some excellent video!
