St Maarten Activities Cater For Every Possible Need And Want

By Karina Frost


When thinking of an island vacation one cannot help to think about glorious sunshine, pristine beaches and wonderful food. In the Caribbean the locals are known for their hospitality and their unequalled ability to make visitors feel welcome. In St Maarten activities often focus upon the water, but this is by no means the only thing to do when holidaying there. There is a host of things to do and to experience.

Surprisingly, one of the top rated attractions of this island is not its beaches or any of its many other attractions. No, it is their tennis academy that is rated so highly. Here, world class players enroll for quality training programs. The facilities are not only available to professionals, however. Visitors are able to enjoy the world class courts for a few games of recreational tennis too.

The Loterie farm and fly zone offers visitors a taste of adventure and the opportunity to experience the magnificent views of the sea and of Marigot as well as the island of Aquilla. The fly zone boast world class zips lines designed for use by both adults and kids. The venue also hosts a world class restaurant and pub for those that need refreshment after completing their adventures.

The island is home to some of the most spectacular beaches to be found anywhere in the world. They are kept in excellent condition and most visitors enjoy lounging around while being served drinks and snacks by efficient waiters. The sea is crystal clear and the sound of the waves act as a hypnotic agent to lull sun worshippers to sleep.

There is something for everyone, including the adventure seekers. Jet skis and wave runners can be hired almost anywhere. Even better, those that want to see the earth from above can book a parasailing experience. Wind surfing, surfing and body surfing is extremely popular. Kite surfing is not for everyone but those that want a little bit of adrenalin will simply be enthralled.

It would be unthinkable to visit the island without enjoying at least one of the many boat trips on offer. Some trips offer a leisurely cruise at sunset, allowing guests to enjoy a sunset drink while enjoying the spectacular sunsets. For the more adventurous there are deep see fishing expeditions, diving excursions or snorkeling on one of the many reefs. Most hotels can provide advice on where and when to book.

There is certainly no shortage of things for kids to do. The Kids World Amusement Park in Cole Bay, particularly, provides a memorable experience. It offers the young, and the not so young, a host of activities that will satisfy every possible taste. Horse riding, amusement arcades and go karts, to name just a few, will guarantee a memorable experience. There are also outdoors playing areas and more than enough to eat and drink.

St Martin in the Caribbean is most certainly one of the choicest places to spend a holiday. There is much to do any visitor will feel as if he or she does not have enough time to sample all the many pleasures on offer. It may be a good idea to conduct some online research before making a booking, though.
