Bridgetown to Marigot

Climb aboard a sleek bower boat and set off toward one of the island's best snorkel sites. As you sail past, you will notice some rather unusual homes set into amazing natural rock formations and arches -- an area known as Moon Hole. Keep your eye out for the island of Mustique in the far distance.

Once you are in the water, equipped with mask and snorkel, keep an eye out for tiny shellfish, sea fans, and sponges in their natural habitat, and watch as tropical fish dart playfully around you.

After your swim continue sipping on your drink during the cruise back to the pier.

Description

Discover 2 countries on one island during this unusual island excursion.

Depart Marigot port heading towards Paradise Peak, the highest elevation on the island, then pass Grand Case, the culinary capital of the Caribbean, and continue past Orient Beach to Paradise Lookout Point for a view of famous Orient Beach and the island of St. Barth with an opportunity to take some photos. Next you will drive through Quartier d’Orleans, also known as French Quarter and will cross the International Border to the Dutch side of the island.

Upon arrival in Philipsburg, capital of the Dutch side, you have approximately 1 hour of free time to do some shopping on well-known Front Street or stroll along the Boardwalk to find many restaurants, bars and even ice cream parlors. There is also a fantastic view of the cruise ships at the Dr. A.C. Wathey Cruise & Cargo Facility, the largest port on the island. The journey continues to the Cay Hill Lookout Point, for views and a photo stop of Simpson Bay Lagoon, the largest land enclosed lagoon in the Caribbean, as well as of Simpson Bay Beach and all the way to Princess Juliana International Airport. At the airport you will experience the amazing spectacle of planes landing right overhead while enjoying a refreshing local favorite the Guavaberry Colada.

Guavaberries are rare and can only be found high in the hills in the center of the island as a bright orange or as a red/black fruit. After this fun experience you will return to the port in Margot and your yacht.
