    Started off very interesting but seemed to wane as there is not a lot to see in St. Maarten. Only got a glass of water as beverage even though it was super hot. The banana cake as promised was very very good - one of the highlights of the tour. The Natural Museum is a waste and should be removed from the tour.

    We went on 3 Seagrape Tours during our stay in Saint Martin, the History, Museum beach lunch and Cultural Heritage. We had wonderful tour guides; Jon, Ellie and Nascha. All were knowledgeable of the island and shared a wealth of the history. We saw and experienced more than we imagined on each tour. The lunch at Aloha on Orient Beach was delicious. The small group of 6 or less was also perfect for us. We would recommend any of these tours.

Parking is available for the first hour at USD $2.00, each additional hour USD $1.00. No pick-up fee will be charged. No Uber or similar services have started on our island yet, so you’ll need to get there by taxi or rental car. WALKING ROUTE DIRECTIONS to MEETING POINT for CRUISE SHIP GUESTS from the cruise ship terminal (it'll take you 10 minutes when walking a regular pace):: Exit the cruise ship terminal through the main exit, onto the main public road and turn left following the road to Philipsburg. After a five minute straight walk you'll see Johnny's Scooter Rental on your left, it's a small shack with a big smiley sign on top. Go to the parking lot behind Johnny's Scooter Rental. We'll be on that parking lot in a silver van. If you prefer not to walk, you can ask one of the many taxis at the cruise ship terminal to drop you off at Chesterfield's Restaurant for a couple of dollars. Bear in mind they, maybe, will wait for their car/van to fill up before they depart.
