Leeward Islands Explorer

Description

Discover both international sides of the island on this comprehensive island exploration that includes a stop for a refreshment while watching planes land at the Princess Juliana International Airport.

Depart Philipsburg port heading towards Coralita Lookout Point on the Atlantic Ocean side of the island and take in a bird’s eye view of St. Barth. Continue to world famous Orient Bay, the longest strip of pristine sandy beach and amazing eateries on the island. Move on to Grand Case, a quaint fishing village and the Gourmet Capital of the Caribbean, boasting the very best restaurants and service in the area. You will pass, the highest elevation on the island, Paradise Peak and carry on to Marigot, the capital of French St. Martin. Here you will have 45 minutes of free time to shop at the local market and sample some of the amazing French pastries at the bakery. Next you will cross the International Border to the Dutch side of the island.

The coach will cross over the causeway bridge and head to Maho and Sunset Beach Bar. Experience the amazing spectacle of planes landing right overhead while enjoying a refreshing local favorite the Guavaberry Colada. Guavaberry rum is a legendary folk liqueur of St. Maarten/St. Martin and is an integral part of local culture and tradition. It is made from fine oak aged rum, sugar cane, and wild local Guavaberries – not to be mistaken with guavas. 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 head to Philipsburg, the capital of the Dutch side, via Simpson Bay and Cay Hill Lookout Point, for views and an opportunity to take some photos. You will be dropped off at the port where you have some 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, and return to the yacht when you are ready.

Description

This is the "Must-see & Do" Yachting Land Adventure on Virgin Gorda, if not in the entire British Virgin Islands. Open-air safari wagons will take you and your fellow SeaDreamers on a short twenty-minute ride through the village of Spanish Town to discover The Baths, an intriguing group of sea caves and unusual rock formations, spectacularly set on an amazing beach. From the parking area follow the winding footpath down to the beach to explore this geological wonder. Wade knee deep through the sea caves formed by mammoth boulders and bask in the shafts of sunlight pouring through the natural ceiling into the pools below. Learn about the boulders' origins and the many curious names given to the rock formations. Swim, relax and enjoy the ambiance of this piece of paradise. Then, retrace your footprints in the sand and ascend the path to the Top of the Baths where you will enjoy a fresh fruit smoothie. There is also time to relax and take a dip in the pool before departing via the safari wagons for the return to your SeaDream yacht.

Notes

Please bring swimwear, towel and sunscreen. The portion of the adventure involving actual exploration of the cave area can be considered strenuous to some so set your own pace; do as much or as little as you wish. Guests who prefer to enjoy the beach during this portion of the adventure are welcome to do so. Wear comfortable walking shoes as the footpath to The Baths is uneven and water shoes (not flip flops) in the water. While walking the path through The Baths, your feet will get wet. A backpack will be more convenient than a shoulder bag when walking through The Baths. This tour is available to guests aged 5 years and older.
