Beauty and the Beast - St Maarten
St. Martin: The friendly island
TOURING THE CARIBBEAN ISLAND OF ST MAARTEN & ST MARTIN
St Martin / St Maarten is the world's smallest territory shared by two countries. The northern part is French and called St Martin and the southern part is Dutch and called St Maarten. Our cruise ship docked in Philipsburg which is the capital of Sint Maarten.
We booked the St Maarten Highlights tour of the island through AMIGO TOURS for $42.00. It is one that I highly recommend. You can read about our experience and what you get to see and what you don't see here:

Royal Caribbean Cruise Day 2: Sint Maarten/Saint Martin
Day 2 on my Southern Caribbean Cruise with Royal Caribbean with my friend Darren. Today, we ported on the Dutch side of Sint Maarten. We booked a tour with Amigo Tours directly through them (it was all inclusive) and the tour showed us the entire island both Dutch and French sides. They didn't hide anything from their tourist about the devastation from Hurricane Irma. I HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!

SAINT MARTIN - ST MAARTEN - CARIBBEAN - Part 1 | Marill Adventures
Our first time in St Martin! And already planning to come back!
Visiting this island is a whole different experience. We loved the European feel of it, since it's divided in 2 parts: Dutch & French, with a Caribbean flavour.
Every single beach brings a very unique experience but all equality beautiful in their own way.
Stay tuned for Part 2 and 3 of our adventure!
We stayed in the AirBnB overlooking Orient Bay on the French side:

St. Maarten Snorkeling Adventure
While on our honeymoon in St. Maarten, we took an all day snorkeling trip and met some new friends. We took a boat to the French side of the island and snorkeled at Creole Rock, which is part of the French Marine Reserve. Then we went to Tintamarre and swam with sea turtles. Our last stop was at Pinel Island to feed the iguanas. I don't work for Coconut Reef Snorkeling Tours. I just wanted to give them a plug. It was our favorite day of the honeymoon.
My GoPro doesn't record sound very well so I put some music in the background of the video.

Did St Maarten Recover from Irma and is it safe? Visit Philipsburg, St. Maarten in UHD.
Is St. Maarten safe for visitors? That's a question that would require no hesitation in early 2017. However, the eastern Caribbean island of St. Maarten was devastated by hurricane Irma in September of 2017 and was somewhat slow to recover. Winds of up to 182 mph battered the island and torrential rains flooded most low-lying areas.
We were a bit hesitant at first when we booked a trip back in November of 2018 that included a stop in the popular cruise ship destination. We learned a lot about the island and the people in our visit to St. Maarten.
