Anguilla day trips St. Maarten: Complete Guide Before Visit

Planning a trip to St. Maarten? If you are coming on a cruise ship and only have 1 day to spare, check out our 1-day travel itinerary for SXM to cover the top sights. However, if you’re so lucky that you get to spend a whole week on St. Maarten, you’ll have plenty of time to explore both the laid-back French and the vibrant Dutch side of the island and visit all the main attractions.

There’s no shortage of uniqueness in St. Maarten, a quaint little island country in the Caribbean. The island itself is already divided between two worlds: the French overseas collectivity and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. These two very different cultures share this little island in Paradise. But it is not only the cultural diversity that makes this gorgeous island unique. There are plenty of other exceptional things to explore.

Do you know what the best thing is about vacationing on St. Maarten? It's that you don't have to be on a cruise ship to island hop and tour around the islands! Unlike at most other Caribbean destinations, you can visit the neighboring islands by public ferry, plane, private boat charter or in an organized day trip from St. Maarten. You can easily visit 5 different islands during your one week holiday in St. Maarten and each of them offer a completely unique experience.
