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.

One of the most surprising things to do on this island is to visit the tennis academy. This may sound like a strange setting for a top class sporting facility but this academy is rated one of the top attractions of St Martin. They offer advanced training programs but visitors can also enjoy a few leisurely games on the world class courts offered by the facility.

Cruise ship passengers especially enjoy visiting the Loterie farm. It also boasts a fly zone where there are zip lines for both adults and younger people. This adventurous activity is safe but it offers adventure to those that enjoy a little burst of adrenalin. The venue also offers exciting hiking trails that offer spectacular views on Marigot and the island of Anquilla. An excellent bar and restaurant will ensure that visitors do not go hungry or thirsty.

The island offers some of the best beaches in the world. The authorities go to great lengths to make sure that everything is kept in pristine condition. It is no wonder that many visitors simply enjoy lounging on the beach. Numerous vendors provide lounging chairs and there are always someone close at hand, willing to fetch drinks and snacks.

Adventure lovers, especially those that enjoy water activities will be in seventh heaven. Kite surfing and parasailing is possible at many locations. Surf boards and body boards can be hired almost anywhere. Wind surfers swear that these Caribbean beaches are the best possible location for their particular pleasure. It is also possible to partake in jet skiing at most of the popular beaches.

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.

Holidaying on the islands is certainly a wonderful experience. The beauty of the Caribbean, the pristine beaches, the friendly natives and the exotic foods all combine to guarantee a holiday of a lifetime. The internet provides many valuable resources to research the destination prior to making a booking. The fact remains, however, that St Martin is certainly worth a visit.
