There are no better words to describe this St. Maarten Beach Break at Maho Beach other than unique, fun and exciting! You get the combination of relaxing beach and the adrenaline of seeing planes passing just overhead as they are landing at the airport located feet from the beach. Note that the smaller planes usually land in the morning and the larger jets late morning/noonish.

St. Maarten's Princess Juliana International Airport is located just off Maho Beach and the beach seems to be part of the runway. As the planes come in for a landing, the people gather to watch as they appear to be passing just out of arm's reach overhead. But all is safe as the planes land on the runway just across the roadway. It is something that has become synonymous with St. Maarten and Maho Beach.

As amazing as the landings are, you will be blown away by the take-offs! Watch as the planes take off from the comforts of the local beach bar and enjoy a cold beverage as you have to see it to believe it all (food and drink not included).

Your excursion will also include stops at scenic overlooks of Simpson Bay Marina and Harold Jack Hill where the views are incredible! Your guide will be with you and be giving you a narrative background of the island on your way back to Philipsburg.

You will have the choice of either going directly back to the pier or to stay in town for shopping, dining or more sightseeing and go back to the ship at your leisure. It is a 12-15 minute walk or taxi ride is approximately $3.00 USD - taxi cost not included.
