Get ready for four and a half hours of sun, sea, and absolute fun! Your friendly guide will pick you up at the cruise terminal and into the air-conditioned transportation. The scenery along the road is beautiful and your guide will point out some of the famous sights as you pass.
Your first stop will be at Orient Beach. This area is equipped with complete tourist amenities. It is the longest beach on the island and has a wide variety of beach bars and restaurants within easy reach. Check out the many water sports facilities such as jet skis, sailboats, paragliding, and even some kids' activities that are available (not included in excursion cost), or simply take a dip in the pristine clear blue water.
There will even be time to venture to the clothing-optional section of Orient Beach. You will have about 2 hours to enjoy your Orient Beach Break before heading off to your next stop on the Beach Bum Excursion! Note that Friars Beach may be substituted for Orient depending on beach conditions.
Your second stop will be the famous Maho Beach and its airplane landings. The arrival time will be around midday just in time to see a Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 that come in for a landing just a few meters above the beach at the nearby Princess Juliana International Airport. As part of your Maho Beach Break, you will be a guest of the Sunset Beach Bar and Grill, where you can enjoy a cool cocktail or a tasty lunch (own expense) while you listen to the live feed as the control tower communicates with the arriving aircraft. The frequency of planes and the size coming in varies daily.
Just sit back, relax, feel the cool Caribbean breeze rush off the swelling waves of the sea, or stroll along the pure white sand. The lure of the turquoise blue water is hard to pass up! Be lost in the sound of the waves crashing into the rocks that rise off the coast.
Your guide will transfer you back to the cruise port when you've achieved official status as a St. Maarten Beach Bum! Complimentary refreshments are included: water, soft drinks, beer, and Guavaberry Rum Punch.
