Absolutely Unforgettable - This experience was truly life-changing. Nick was professional, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe the entire time. Every need was taken care of — and then some!
It was our first time snorkeling, and thanks to Nick’s calm guidance, it went perfectly. The professional-quality photos he took were such a special bonus — now we get to relive the day forever.
We’ll never forget this experience or you, Nick. Thank you for everything! Highly Highly Highly Recommend!!!

It was an amazing day spent with Nick as our guide! - I booked this tour for my sister and me as a last-minute excursion. Nick took us on a personal tour, pointing out points of interest and stopping at key locations for us to have photo ops. We were treated like princesses! Preferred seating on the ferry to Pinel Island, reserved lounges at the beach and excellent service and attention given to us throughout the day! We could not have picked a better tour and have amazing photo memories to remember the day! Thanks Nick!

Pinel Island Tour - We had the best time and Nick is such a nice young man and is very knowledgeable about the Island. We have been to St Marten several times and this was by far the best experience that we have had on an excursion. I would recommend this trip to Pinel Island very highly.

An adventure to remember - My uncle and I were taken on a guided tour to Pinel Island by Nick today, May 25, 2025. My uncle and I agreed the tour and the island deserved a 5-star rating. The tour was everything the advertisement promised, and more. Not only did Nick escort us safely to and from the island, but he also catered to our every need. He provided drinks, snacks, information about the island and a schedule of events. During our hike, Nick ensured every moment was captured with his camera. My uncle and I were nothing short of comfortable the entire afternoon. The highlight of the trip was the snorkel tour. Nick managed to spot a green turtle swimming and eating on the ocean floor. We also got to feed iguanas and the local red-footed tortoise. If anyone visiting St Maartan loves hiking, swimming and wildlife, they need to spend the day with Discover Paradise and ask for Nick. If Nick is not available, his brother, Ryan, is equally capable and attentive. My uncle and I had the best time and hope to return soon.
My only recommendation is that the guides or the guests bring scrub for the goggles. It helps prevent fogging.

The Best Way to Discover Pinel Island - Such an awesome experience!
The snorkeling was beautiful, the water crystal clear, and the hike gave us some amazing views of the island. Everything was well organized, and the guides were super friendly and fun — they really made the whole trip feel relaxed and personal. We saw tons of marine life, had time to chill on the beach, and just enjoyed every minute. Definitely a must-do if you're visiting Saint Martin. Highly recommend it!
