Excellent tour

5.00Bernards Tours gave a five hour tour around the island, visiting both the Dutch and French sides. Our first stop was Oyster Pond. It was once full of oysters, but no longer due to overfishing. We then stopped at Coralita Beach and watched the Moses walk to an offshore island. My next stop was the most fun. At the Iguana Spot, you can get a leaf attached to a three-foot pole and feed the wild iguanas. Marigot is the capital of the French side. We stopped by the seafront at the local market for shopping and lunch. There is no one patrolling the border. It has been peaceful for nearly 400 years, as the border monument testifies. Maho Beach is next to Princess Juliana International Airport. People gather there to watch the planes land. It's amazing to see how low the planes are as they get ready to land. Our guide Mailman was excellent. I highly recommend this tour.
Great day out

5.00Very informative, good stopping points. Look for Bernard’s tours in the port, don’t follow the map it’s wrong.
Fun trip around the island owned by two countries.

5.00We thoroughly enjoy our trip around Sint Maarten. The Mailman was a fantastic driver/ tour guide for the trip from the Dutch side to the French Side and back to the cruise port again. Bottled Water was included. Highly recommend.
St. Maarten's is a must do tour! Get the Mailman for your guide!!

5.00St. Maarten's is absolutely beautiful!! Our tour guide (The Mailman) did a great job of showing us the entire island! There's so much to see there and they also have some very good bakery's!! We had a fantastic day!
Not the best experience

3.00The meet up point was a bit unorganized. We arrived 30 minutes prior to our booking time. We were told to have a seat and after waiting for almost an hour, we were never checked in and had to be placed with a different group. The tour guide took us to a restaurant for lunch (to which he seemed to know one of the employees personally). We waited a very long time for our food and because of that, we could not enjoy lunch in the restaurant, instead, had to carry it out and eat it uncomfortably on our laps. Everything felt very “winging it”. The morning was rainy so maybe that contributed to the not so great experience.
Spectacular Day on the gorgeous island of Saint Martin

5.00What a FANTASTIC day!! Alex of Bernard's Tours was an amazing host on Sint Maarten/Saint Martin. He was so fun and informative, bringing us all over the island. He stopped at many beautiful places so we could take pictures, an Iguana farm, and an early afternoon stop at the gorgeous Orient Bay Beach. After a dip and a beach-side beverage, we went onto the capital, Marigot, to enjoy some French pastries on our own. We then went to famous Maho Beach in time for the international jets arriving at Princess Juliana International literally over our heads while on the gorgeous (small) beach. Alex had a cooler filled with ice cold water, soda, and his uncle Bernard's famous rum punch--served in small 2 oz cups for a reason! We would recommend this excursion to anyone and everyone who is visiting for their first, or thirty-first visit to this spectacular island.
Best Tour Ever

5.00This is a must when visiting St Maarten. Mailman was our guide. He knows both sides of the island. Very informative and lively. His rum punch is so yummy. Best tour we have ever taken.

5.00This was an awesome tour! We went as a group of four riding on 3 atv's. There was supposed to be another group but they were running behind. Instead of making us wait, they gave us a tour with just us. It was great. It seemed like the tour went longer than planned which was a pleasant surprise. We made some stops throughout the tour. Had chances to jump in the water and grab a drink or food in almost every stop. We had lunch included with our tour that was delicious. Then we hung out and talked with Roberto and Jose for a while afterwards. 2 really cool guys. Great way to see the island and a way you wouldn't otherwise be able to. I'd even go again cause they said they'd take us to new locations!
Fun atv trip. Roberto was the best!!
