In St Maarten Activities Cater For Every Possible Taste And Preference

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.

Those that enjoy nature and hiking with a little bit of adventure thrown in will just love the Loterie farm and fly zone. One a sugar cane farm, this venue now offers breathtaking hikes with magnificent views of the sea and Marigot. There are also zip lines for both adults and youngsters. These activities are especially popular with cruise ship passengers visiting the island.

It is only natural that the majority of activities on the island focus on the water. It is not necessary to engage in specific activities however. Many visitors simply revel in the glorious sunshine, preferring to lounge around on one of the many excellent beaches, soaking up the sun and enjoying the tranquility of the ocean. In most cases there will be waiters to supply exotic drinks and snacks if it is required.

Those that enjoy water activities are in for a special treat. Most of the fabulous beaches offer visitors a host of adventurous activities. Water skiing, wind surfing, body boarding and surfing are all popular everywhere and quality equipment is offered for hire at reasonable prices. Many people enjoy the thrill of kite surfing and parasailing too. When it comes to adventure on, beside or above the water the Caribbean cannot be equaled.

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.
