Explore St. Maarten: Sightseeing, Adventure & Hidden Gems
Twistour's St. Maarten Explore blog is all about discovering the island’s dramatic landscapes, adventurous activities, and secret corners that most travelers miss. With its mix of French and Dutch influences, plus some of the Caribbean’s most famous beaches, St. Maarten is a playground for both relaxation and adrenaline.
We cover the island’s most iconic spots, like watching planes land just overhead at Maho Beach, hiking up to Pic Paradis for panoramic views, and snorkeling in calm coves like Creole Rock. Outdoor lovers can explore trails, take boat trips to nearby islets, or try zip-lining and eco-parks in the lush hills.
Water adventures are a big part of the island experience: sailing around the coastline, diving at reefs, or kite surfing in Orient Bay. For wildlife encounters, you can spot tropical fish and turtles while snorkeling, or visit the Parrot Ville Bird Park for a closer look at exotic species. If you want to plan dives and excursions responsibly, Dive Adventures St. Maarten is a trusted resource.
This section is about going beyond the beaches — from cliffside hikes to hidden beach bars, it’s where we share firsthand stories and tips that help you experience the adventurous side of St. Maarten in 2025.
