The Under SXM Underwater Sculpture Park is a breath-taking new eco-attraction, opening this December in Little Bay, Sint Maarten.
With over 300 captivating artificial reef sculptures placed along a designated trail, this immersive experience offers guests an unforgettable snorkeling adventure. Floating gracefully above the underwater exhibition, guests can admire the sculptures that celebrate the island’s vibrant culture and history while providing a protected habitat for marine species to thrive—an extraordinary opportunity to witness the exciting life of a diverse aquatic ecosystem just beneath the surface.
Cast exclusively from members of the local community the underwater exhibition aims to bring the story of Sint Maarten to life through four distinct galleries that pay homage to Sint Maarten’s past and present. The galleries display a stunning and authentic evolution of the island’s history.

5.00Very short ride on the boat to the statues as they are right off shore. Statues are a beautiful sight. Captain Roy and his crew Ray were great. Super nice friendly service full and helpful. We loved it!!
The location of this...

3.00The location of this statue park is at a very busy resort, just a few meters from the coast. Since there are many boats, the water is not clear, but quite murky with many particles. Visibility on our day was not the best due to wind. The park is small; it was not a 'wow" experience for me. Organizers are friendly.
Great Time. Enjoyed the beach and fort also.

5.00Get to meeting point early to enjoy the beach and a fort at the hotel before the excursion. Rent a car once you get off the ship. Look for the car rental signs. Drive to Divi Little Bay Beach Resort and at the guard gate tell them you have an excursion. Park in their parking lot. Find the beach rental shop on the beach. They will log you in. Have a great time. Also, bring an underwater camera.
Disappointing

3.00We take a boat to the port and after a brief navigation we arrive at the underwater park. It is well organized and supervised but only problem the water is cloudy and we do not see much so useless walk.
Unique snorkeling

Extremely Disappointing: Activity Should Have Been Canceled Due to Zero Visibility
E-Laurent13,Mar 12, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00Extremely disappointing experience. We each paid $50 to snorkel over the UNDER SXM statues, but the water was so churned up by the wind that visibility was zero—we saw absolutely nothing. The activity should have been canceled. Aqua Mania was dishonest for not refunding or warning us about the conditions.
disapointing

Sculpture snorkeling adventure
Steve S,Feb 24, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Were able to view the sculptures as well as other underwater structures with more fish species. Crew were helpful and pleasant. Snorkel equipment was well fitting and in good condition. If not staying at the Divi resort, arrange for taxi pickup 30 min after the trip ends as taxis may not be readily available otherwise, especially if not staying in Phillipsburg.
Cruise excursion trip
Rhodeygirl,Feb 22, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00Visited the underwater garden while on a cruise excursion in January 2026. The water was a little rougher than shown here, which resulted in alot of sand and silt being suspended in the water, making visibility much shorter and cloudier. The water is more of a green than what is shown in the photos on Trip Advisor. This is not the easiest swim as you are dropped from an anchored boat and while you are in a 'cove', it's exposed to the southern side of the ocean, resulting in decent sized waves and swells. I would say intermediate swimming skills are needed. We used a snorkel vest, a life preserver would also assist to help hover over the statues. You might want to wait for a better season for viewing.
