We were picked up at our hotel right on time by Leo. He was an absolutely incredible host and made the experience even better. The tour, food and swimming at Pinel was great and would recommend it to others as a day well spent. The photos he took are so nice, we will be framing a few that’s for sure. Next time we will go back and rent kayaks. Thanks Leo!
Worth every penny and more

We had a wonderful time - Leo was very friendly and knowledgeable, the hikes were beautiful, and the snorkeling was magical. Definitely recommend going for the lunch option, our lunch on the island was delicious (the grouper was the best fish I’ve ever eaten)
Very pleasant day on...

We had an awesome day with Ryan! Very friendly, professional, super helpful and accomodating! We learned a lot about Pine island and overall truly enjoyed it. Everything was on time, smooth, stress free. My 70 yo mother loved everything about it! Thanks a lot, Ryan!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Even When the Fish Didn’t Show Up, Discover SXM Did We booked Discover SXM for a Pinel Island day and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Everything was smooth, well organized, and completely stress-free from start to finish. Full honesty: snorkeling wasn’t amazing that day… but that’s the ocean, not the tour. Even without peak snorkeling conditions, our guide kept the energy great, made sure everyone was comfortable, and shifted the focus to enjoying the island, the views, and the experience overall. Pinel Island itself is gorgeous, the short hike had incredible views, and the wildlife sightings made up for the fish taking the day off. Lunch and drinks were delicious, beach chairs were ready for us, and having photos taken meant zero phone-in-the-ocean anxiety. What really makes Discover SXM stand out is the vibe. It felt relaxed, friendly, and fun — like spending the day with someone who actually wants you to have a great time, not just check boxes on a tour schedule. Even on a “meh snorkeling” day, this tour was absolutely worth it. Would book again in a heartbeat and highly recommend

Nick was the greatest tour guide we have seen in a very long time. He has a keen eye for photo opportunities and lead our snorkel group at Pinel to some amazing locations where we saw many species of large and small fish including rays and barracuda. We also saw turtles as well. We would book with Nick any time.
Great Day With Ryan!

This was the best tour ever! Ryan picked us up right on time and provided so much information about the island. After a short hike, we settled in to just enjoy sunning and relaxing. Lunch was delicious and afterwards we fed iguanas and turtles. We felt quite VIP the entire time.
Not bad

We only had another family on the same tour so it was almost a private tour. There were a lot of people on Pinel island but it didn't feel crowded at all. Our tour guides were always available to answer any questions and they had rum punch flowing. Hike was refreshing. While snorkeling we didn't really see a lot of marine life but at least it was a good exercise.
Tour Pinel Island like a VIP!

We booked this via Viator, but you can also book it directly from Discover Paradise. This was our first time to St. Martin, and we were staying at Orient Bay. To snorkel in St. Martin, we really had to head over to Pinel Island because Orient Bay is mostly for swimming. Most tours to Pinel originates from St. Maartin (the Dutch side), so it wasn't easy to find a tour to Pinel from Orient Bay. We attempted to do this ourselves by contacting 2 beaches in Pinel directly. But they were both booked and there was no beach chair nor lunch reservation available due to Christmas. We found Discover Paradise last minute, and booked it the night before. Ryan came to pick us up from Orient Bay right at the appointed time. He then drove us to the ferry. We didn't have to wait in the ferry line; instead, we were directly right to the front of the line. After a short ferry ride, our beach chairs were waiting for us at Yellow Beach (same chairs that were sold out.) Ryan then took us on a hike to the top of the peak (a short 15-min hike. I do recommend beach shoes with thicker soles.) After the hike, we swam in the beautiful calm water before lunch. We also got a reserved table for lunch, at the same restaurant where tables were all booked!. After a delicious lunch (we had several choices, and we picked snapper and grouper), we had a choice of suntanning or snorkeling. Of course, we picked snorkeling, as that's what we came to Pinel to do. We did bring our own snorkel gear, but fins were not allowed in Pinel, and Ryan had swimming tubes for us to use instead. (For a weak swimmer as I, Ryan did say I could use my fins.) Ryan took us out to the bend around the island. We saw tons of fish and corals, a shark, and a small turtle (swam right under me.) The water was so clear. If we didn't have a guide, we wouldn't have known how far we could have gone. Ryan also took pictures for us throughout the trip. The 6 hours went by way too fast. It was a perfect day. On the way back, we again got VIP treatments for the ferry and did not have to wait in the long line. If you have never gone to Pinel Island, I totally recommend booking this tour. This saves you time in finding a taxi to take you to and from the ferry, booking the chairs, getting a reservation for lunch, and figuring out where the best snorkel spots are. You feel like a VIP the entire trip!
