5.00Shawn was AMAZING. We booked him for transport from the airport to our cruise, and then on the way back from our cruise to the airport. He was so kind and easy to work with, and extremely well priced that we ended up booking him for a two hour impromptu tour before heading to the airport for our flight. It's tough to find a reliable easy to book driver and we will ONLY use Shawn from now on - can't recommend enough, don't think twice about booking with him, just do it!
We were very disappointed...

5.00My two brothers and I had an unforgettable time with Pelican Island Tours in St. Martin. Our tour guide, Nerline, was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She took us to the other side of the island, and throughout the trip, she made sure we were comfortable and having a great time. What stood out the most was how attentive she was—checking in on us regularly and making sure we got the full experience. The tour was not only scenic and informative, but it also felt personal thanks to Nerline warm and friendly energy. Highly recommend booking with Pelican Island Tours if you’re visiting St. Martin—you won’t regret it!
Awesome tour to experience beautiful SXM.

5.00We were picked up at our rental right on time by Nerline. Since she is a native to St. Maarten, she knew everything to give us an education about the island. We felt like we had just been to a class on the life, govt., education, history,etc. of the island. We toured the French side and the Dutch side. One thing we desired of this tour was to visit an authentic French bakery for some out of this world sweet delicacies..plus a cup of coffee. She took us to Chez Fernand bakery. It was very difficult to choose from so many tempting treats. My husband and I shared the Royal Chocolate.. several layers of chocolate mouse and other chocolate treats.it melted in our mouths. Being in our 80’s we were not eager to get out of our comfy ride to walk around but we enjoyed all the sites offered to us. We would definitely recommend Nerline as your awesome guide to her beautiful island,
Alex was an awesome,...

5.00Shawn communicated in advance with detailed meeting instructions. We found him easily and he escorted us to his large clean van with excellent A/C. Shawn is a native with extensive knowledge about the history of the island. He provided a running commentary with interesting facts. He took us to multiple beaches, a shopping area, and lookouts. Shawn waited patiently at each stop and provided clear explanations on the times to return to the van. He is proud of his island as he should be and has high hopes for the future of his island and his business.
St Martins island of adventure with Shawn.
