Everyone enjoys going somewhere interesting on holiday. St Maarten is a beautiful island in the northeast Caribbean which lies about three hundred kilometers east of Puerto Rico. The main airport, known as Princess Juliana Airport is often used to refer to the island. In 2007 this airport handled over one hundred and three thousand aircrafts and over one and a half million people.
Depending on where one is coming from this place can be reached by airplane as well as by boat. The transportation around the island can be done by hiring a motorcycle or a car as well as by taxi and bus services. The side of the road that is driven on is the right and all drivers need to hold an international drivers license or a French license. The main road circles the coastline with smaller roads that lead inland. The driving around is stress free with minimal traffic jams and the common way to greet others is by using the car horn.
One activity that needs to be done is the Snorkeling shore excursion. The duration is about two and a half hours where one can head a two person inflatable water boat to view the amazing scenery of the beaches or snorkel at Happy Bay or Baie Rouge to see the exotic marine life. The main boat will be close at hand to offer something cool to drink and where the snorkeling equipment will be kept until desired.
Another attraction is taking a pirate day cruise. One will get to sail a tall ship on the clear waters while being told about swashbuckling tales just like a real pirate. A lunch with unlimited drinks will be provided and there will be time to go swimming to enjoy the cool waters. Just like a real pirate ship there will be a plank where one can walk, jump or even flip off. There are only twenty five people at a time allowed so the group is small and many friendships can be made.
The second part is the erection of a new control tower and radar facilities. The terminals will be modernized and the runway will have an end safety area added. This was completed in 2006. Phase three will happen if the traffic increases and the terminal buildings will be made larger and a full taxiway system will be put into play. They do have certain stops where one will need to wait and lift a hand to flag shuttles down while there.
Traveling between the two territories is done freely as there are no real borders and both ports are duty free. There is no customs procedure and any tobacco, cameras etc are allowed as long as they are in small amounts. Pets that are more than three years old are allowed as long as their declaration of health card is up to date and has been issued by a vet. All vaccines must be done with a complete record as well.
Great Bay is one of the widest and longest beaches. There are many different places where one can get something to eat as well many different shops that sell jewellery, electronics and of course clothing. There are also a variety of different water sports to try which include jet skiing, para-sailing as well as diving and different boat tours.
The island has a wide choice of places to stay. These range from authentic guest houses to four star resorts. The hotels are mostly on the beaches and coastal hills and their standard of service and generosity is very high.
