What To Expect
Philipsburg
At this location there is a lot to do and see. We call this location Philipsburg; Philipsburg is the capital of the Dutch side of the island. This is the first city we drive through when leaving the cruise ship terminal. The best time to enjoy Philipsburg is at the end of the tour. Philipsburg is known as the main shopping area on the island. There's a beautiful beach located here as well and it's only 5 minutes away from the cruise terminal. So, you get better bargain prices in the afternoon. At the end of the tour, you get an optional stop here, according to the amount of time left on your tour the driver can wait for you. Or if you wish to spend more time here, you can make your way back to the ship, or we can take you back. So, the amount of time spent here depends on the guest itinerary.
Orient Bay
On this Tour our guest gets to stop at this location for as long as they wish (Orient Bay). Orient Bay is known as one of our favorite beaches here on the island. It is located on French side of the Island (Northern side) and is also on the Atlantic side. This beach is known as the longest beach on the Island. The Orient Bay Beach is also well known for lots of water sports activities. One side of the Orient Bay Beach is a nude beach, while on the other side of the beach, it is very family oriented. There are lots of Beach Bar Restaurants located at the Orient Beach.

The ultimate Transportation Service. Punctual, engaging, cleanliness, knowledgeable and courteous.

5.00Having the very best transportation service on St Maarten giving us the ultimate perspective of both sides of the Island was quite an experience, from the points of interest, the history, the cuisine recommendations. Everything we wanted on the tour and fulfilling our transportation needs, was all accomplished with courtesy, punctuality and class. Highly recommend Alpha Transportation. Mike and Lydia

1.00After waiting for 45 min we discovered that our trip had been cancelled by accident the day before. They didn’t offer to help us with new arrangements. Only we apologize for the inconvenience and will issue a refund. We then had to go wait in line for 45 min to get a taxi which put us at 2 less hours to see the island. Would definitely not book through them again
Highlight of our trip!

5.00Highlight of our trip! Our small group of 3 did a private around-the-island tour after our scheduled activity was canceled last minute. Raj was a wonderful guide and took us to so many places we would have otherwise never seen. Cannot praise him enough! We had the best time and are now grateful our original plans fell thru. Highly recommend their tours!
we will never use Viator again

2.00I had printed my tickets for this excursion, it had given instructions where to pick up taxi for the Island tour, and who will be driving, they do not say if the time is local or ship. we get to the taxi and tour dispatch area, and we look for taxi 197. or Alvin Andre, Alvin was no longer working for the company,taxi 197 drove off, it took over an hour to find out we were at the wrong place, we did get a great gal, forgot her name, and she gave us a tour of the island. by the time we found her, we were so stressed out, she was also given the wrong time. we did the island tour, we did not opt for shopping or lunch, lots of traffic on the island. we wanted to make sure we were on the ship in plenty of time, this tour was not worth the $$$
For less than sensational

2.00Although the driver was pleasant, the tour was less than sensational for the high price. As we started the tour, we were informed despite paying nearly $100 per person our intended tour will be cut by 3 hours because there was a mistake online. He also shared the percentage of how much he gets. The stops were less than memorable and did not warrant a picture. After the driver ate his lunch, he informed us when we finally breaked to eat too that a protest was in progress so we could not see key places such as Margot. Instead of stopping at other places like Maho Beach like discussed at the beginning of the tour on the Dutch side. We dropped back at the hotel feeling short changed and disappointed overall.
Airport transfer and private tour

5.00Andre was fantastic! Professional, knowledgeable and fun! We used him for our airport transfers and a 6 hour private island tour. He gave us history of the island, gave great suggestions as we personalized our itinerary. Would 100% book him again on a return visit.
