Discover the Best Tours and Activities for Your Saint Martin Itinerary

Updated: Nov 3, 2023

Part of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean Sea, Saint Martin is a beautiful Caribbean island with a unique split personality. The northern side of the island (Saint-Martin) is French, and the southern side (Sint Maarten) is Dutch. This cultural duality is reflected in the island's architecture, cuisine, and atmosphere.


The French side of Saint Martin is known for its charming villages, gourmet restaurants, and luxurious boutiques. The Dutch side of the island is known for its lively casinos, duty-free shopping, and vibrant nightlife.


No matter which side of the island you choose to visit, you're sure to find something to love. Below are a few of the things you can do in Saint Martin.
