Discover the two worlds of St Maarten/St Martin, from the Dutch capital of Philipsburg to the French capital of Marigot. Holland and France have shared the island since 1648.
Board a modern, air-conditioned motorcoach to enjoy the charm and romance of this scenic island. Departing Philipsburg, you will travel past the once-great salt pond and up Mount William Hill for a beautiful view of the Dutch capital and harbor.
Continue through the countryside towards the Dutch/French border, with only a monument to indicate that you have entered another country.
You will pass the district of Orleans -- once the capital of the French side. From Hope Hill, you will take in a spectacular view of Orient Beach, nearby Pinel Island, and St Barths. Watch for Grand Case -- the island's gourmet capital -- and pass lovely beaches and typical, tranquil Caribbean villages.
Pause at Marigot, the French capital, where you will have 45 minutes of free time to browse at the outdoor food market, purchase lunch at one of the inviting sidewalk cafés, or shop at an array of duty-free shops.
As you journey through Cole Bay, stop at the International Lookout Point, where you will capture the magnificent view of the island's western side, Simpson Bay Lagoon and neighboring islands.
Your tour ends with a transfer to the airport in time for your flight.
