Great time at beach! - Great time at beach and saw lots of planes coming and going. Had plenty of time for lunch and shopping too. Thanks for the sightseeing tour too!

A great day! - Our driver and guide Raphael was awesome.We learned a lot about the island. He dropped us off and picked us up at the agreed upon times. We had a great time!

Great tour, guide, and experience - Great time. Everything went smoothly. The pickup point was precisely described. Our guide, William, gave us a guided tour to Maho Beach, describing life on the Dutch side of Sint Maarten and comparing it to the French side. During the tour we were supplied with refreshments, such as rum punch (Yes, you could taste the rum!), sodas, and waters. He dropped us off right at Maho Beach and was there at the agreed upon pickup time. In the meantime, we were free to experience Maho Beach and the airplanes landing and taking off. The day we went there was only our ship in the cruise port. So the beach was not that crowded. Found a nice place in the shade of the restaurant where we ended up having lunch. The Sunset Bar & Grill's mahi mahi sandwich and tacos were good, as were the drinks. But the best part was dining on their deck and still being able to watch the planes. All in all, it was a really fun day.

Watch the jets land - Efficient delivery to Maho Beach. Watched several small planes and a few larger jets (up to 787) land and take off. Great bucket list location to see.

Easy and Fun - Our bus driver/tour guide was fantastic! Was on time and this was a great excursion. This was my first time doing an excursion outside of the cruise and it was simple.

Airplane beach transfer - Unique experience of planes landing and taking off near beach. Beach is very crowded be prepared. Excursions scheduled ten to two but they changed it to three and traffic was bad and took longer than an hour to get to boat. made it closer than we wanted. Driver was pleasant and was informative.

The area gets really... - The area gets really crowded, seating available for a fee. Nearby restaurant tables were booked in advance by tour companies so no food options for meal unless you get farther away from main area

Hard to find the pick up... - Hard to find the pick up place, there is not any indication, a lot of peaple lost, the trasportation ok , 35 minites to get to the beach

Overly crowded and sand up the b*tt - The planes flying right over your head was top notch incredible. But the beach is very crowded and the sand is super sticky. The water is rough and it gets deep quickly right off shore. Two ppl drowned a few weeks before we arrived in late January 2025. When planes takeoff: sand and belongings are blown all over the place ppl chasing hats and glasses into the ocean. They charge for the shower and the restroom if you need those. It’s also a long drive from the port so if your on a cruise it takes time away from being able to do anything else on the island.

Mixed bag at Maho beach - The planes flying over your head was an amazing experience. Mayo beach itself was disappointing: way overcrowded, water was to rough and the current to strong, sticky sand, water gets deep right off shore. The beach is just not suitable for small children. The drive to the beach from the shipping port takes 30 min-1hr one way. The charge for the bathrooms and showers is ridiculous.
