St. Maarten: ATV Tour Dutch & French Sides with GuideYou’ll ride an ATV through Dutch & French St. Maarten with a local guide who knows every shortcut and story. Feed iguanas, try the “Jesus walk” in a quiet nature reserve, feel sea breeze on coastal roads, and bounce through a bit of off-road fun before heading back—still grinning under your helmet.
UTV Tour Philipsburg: Drive Both French & Dutch SidesA three-hour UTV tour in Philipsburg puts you behind the wheel of your own 4×4 to explore both the French and Dutch sides of the island in a guided caravan. You'll stop at Orient Bay Beach to swim and walk the sand, then head to Oyster Pond to photograph the bright green iguanas and catch views of neighboring St. Barths, finishing with a walk on the water at Coralita Beach's lookout point. A professional guide leads the route and handles the island knowledge; you operate the vehicle after an in-depth tutorial on the controls.Is it for me?You pick this tour when you want to drive the vehicle yourself rather than ride as a passenger—the three-hour caravan structure and guide-led route mean you're exploring the island under your own control, not watching from a seat. Book the single-rider option if you're going solo, or a double if you want to share the driving or bring a passenger along for the ride.
Sint Maarten & St Martin: Guided UTV Tour with French LoopYou’ll zip across both Dutch Sint Maarten & French St Martin in a UTV with a local guide—feeding iguanas, walking skinny trails over water, catching salty breezes on coastal roads. Stops come quick: beaches, nature reserves, photo ops every turn. Expect laughter, unexpected silences, and maybe sand in your shoes by the end.
Sint Maarten ATV tour: ride both sides of the islandA guided ATV tour of Sint Maarten takes you across both the Dutch and French sides of the island on a 3½ to 4 hour ride, stopping at Orient Bay Beach to walk and swim, Oyster Pond for views of St. Barths, and Coralita Beach's lookout point where you walk on water to a nearby island. The tour includes fuel, helmet, ATV instruction before departure, and a guide who answers questions about the island's culture and history. Check in 30 minutes early; drivers must be 18 with a valid license, and the ride suits travelers with moderate fitness.Is it for me?Choose a single ATV if you want to ride independently and control your own pace; pick a double ATV if you're traveling with a partner and want to share the machine and the cost. Either way, you need a valid driver's license and moderate fitness to handle the 3½ to 4 hour ride, and you'll need to arrive 30 minutes early for the safety briefing and tutorial.
ATV riding and jet skiing in Philipsburg: land and seaATV riding and jet skiing combined in Philipsburg, where you operate both vehicles across the French and Dutch sides of the island. The package includes an in-depth tutorial on each machine, all safety gear, fuel, and a professional guide; you choose between single or double ATV with either a half-hour or full-hour jet ski session. Check-in is 8:30 AM, and the whole experience runs three to four hours.Is it for me?Book this if you want to operate two different machines in one outing rather than watch from a passenger seat—the ATV and jet ski both put you in control, and the guide handles the instruction and route so you can focus on the ride itself. You'll need a valid driver's license and should be at least 18 years old; the weight limit is 360 pounds per machine.
ATV Riding in St. Maarten: Island Tour with Wildlife EncountersA guided ATV and UTV tour of St. Maarten where you ride brand-new 2024 models across Orient Bay, Marigot City, and secluded Happy Bay, with stops to feed wildlife and explore a nature reserve. The tour runs about four hours with a live guide in English, Spanish, French or Dutch, and you pick your vehicle — a single-seat ATV, a two-seat ATV, or a UTV buggy for up to four passengers — at checkout.Is it for me?You're arriving with a free afternoon or a first visit to the island and want to cover multiple beaches and landmarks without navigating on your own — the guide handles the route and the narration, and you control the pace of the ride. If you're traveling with others, the UTV buggy lets all of you ride together instead of splitting into separate vehicles.
ATV riding in St Maarten: Maho Beach & coastal tourA 3.5-hour ATV or UTV tour in St Maarten where you operate the vehicle yourself, riding from Philipsburg through Simpson Bay and Cole Bay to Marigot on the French side, then to Maho Beach to watch planes land low over the runway. The tour includes a professional guide in English or Spanish, a tutorial on operating the ATV or UTV, helmet and fuel, and ends with beach chair and umbrella access at Great Bay Beach.Is it for me?Book this if you want to drive yourself across both sides of the island and have a specific reason to be back at the ship by mid-afternoon—the fixed 3.5-hour window and the cruise-port timing mean you're not negotiating your return or watching the clock. If you've never ridden an ATV, the tutorial and guide-led pace mean you're not figuring it out alone on unfamiliar roads.
ATV riding in Sint Maarten: Maho Beach & Pic ParadisA 6-hour ATV and buggy tour in Sint Maarten where you operate your own vehicle through Maho Beach, Cupecoy, Baie Rouge, and up to Pic Paradis, the island's highest point. You can request the guide to drive instead if you prefer. Pickup from the cruise terminal is included; lunch is on your own.Is it for me?Choose the single-rider ATV if you want full control of the vehicle and the pace; pick the double-rider buggy if you'd rather share the ride, or request the guide to drive so you can focus on the views and the stops without operating the equipment yourself.
