Top 3 Day Trips from St. Maarten
St. Maarten has amazing resorts and a hot nightlife, not to mention pristine white sand beaches, though it’s also the gateway for experiencing the smaller surrounding islands, especially if your main interest is soft adventure and relaxation. Here are some day trips you should check out during your stay in St. Maarten.
At a blossoming peak of 877 m, this unspoiled volcanic island reaches the highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands and is surrounded by charm, thriving rain forest, and incredible offshore diving; making this tiny 5sq mile Caribbean island a major destination for the true eco-tourism traveler!
ST. BARTS
This French Caribbean Island is a good spot to practice windsurfing & snorkeling. Many visitors enjoy diving the nearby coral reefs and even sailing around the island while enjoying a delicious meal. It’s capital Gustavia, unlike many, is a duty-free port. A little Caribbean, a little European, you’ll find elegant boutiques, a yacht-filled harbor, and a tranquil lifestyle.
ST. EUSTATIUS
St. Eustatius, commonly referred to as Statia isn’t known as the “The Golden Rock” for nothing! It was a key trading center during the 17th and 18th century. It’s one of the few islands left in the region that you’re able to see a vast array of the old Caribbean. After more than 150 years of declining fortunes, Statia began developing its tourism infrastructure in the 1960s and 1970s. With a land area of 8.1 sq. miles, approximately 2500 inhabitants, St. Eustatius is not overly developed. Laid back with great diving and well preserved natural habitats make this a great vacation for the adventurous tourists.
