Get the experience of visiting two island colonies in the same 37 square miles. Saint Maarten/Saint Martin's spicy marriage of Caribbean, French and Dutch cultures matches its physical diversity: the island is both urban and untamed, with rain forest-like landscapes, white beaches, and amazing caves and wildlife.

We loved the birds, and enjoyed helping small children from a visiting school class attract birds to their seed cups as well as our own. The staff were knowledgable and super interesting. We toured the museum and got long explanations of the medicinal plants. This activity was really worth the admission cost, and we gave an extra $20 contribution to help them continue!

The Yoda Guy Movie Exhibit, nestled amongst Front Street's duty free jewelry stores, is possibly the most surprising Enterprise in the Caribbean. Who would expect to find Darth Vader, Pinhead from HELLRAISER and Riddley Scott's ALIEN in St Maarten? But this unprecedented showcase has that and a whole lot more. There are displays that span six decades of movie making, relics from THE TERMINATOR, MEN IN BLACK and even THE MALTISE FALCAN. There's also an incredible collection of lifecasts, the actual faces of Hollywood stars, From Bogart & Brando, though Sean Connery & Jack Nicholson to Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp & Angelina Jolle. The collection is extended to include famous historical figures too… the actual faces of Abraham Lincoln, (cast 3 months before his assassination), Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, (cast in. 1778 and 1783 respectively by french sculptor Jean Antoine Houden), and death masks of both Oliver Cromwell, (1658) and Vladimir Lenin (1924). The Exhibit is the brainchild of Hollywood creature effects wizard Nick Maley, known as "that Yoda Guy" for his contribution to the creation of Yoda for the STAR WARS sagas. If you don't know who Nick is, just google his name. He made over 50 movies, including SUPERMAN, HIGHLANDER, KRULL & LIFEFORCE, worked with Hollywood legends like Sean Connery, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Harrison Ford, (you will see them all in the exhibit), was featured in CINEMAX and HBO specials, won a place in THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS and was nominated for an EMMY. Nick shares his professional perspective on the making of famous movies via DVD and, if you are lucky enough to find him there, he will dedicate purchases from the Yoda Guy Shop and do photos with customers. The Shop sells signed movie memorabilia, posters, antique STAR WARS comics, behind the scene photos and storyboards… unique autographed slices of STAR WARS history that become a legacy to pass on through the family. There's also Nick's celebrated Caribbean artwork, (exhibited in galleries in 18 countries and toured the world with UNESCO. Nick and his wife Gloria have created the Yoda Guy Movie Museum Foundation, a not for profit group to oversee the Exhibit's development. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to support the museum and visit a STAR WARS celebrity. It is recommended on all major cruise lines as a MUST SEE for art and movie fans.
This museum is worth a stop. The Yoda Guy is the man who created Yoda and many other movie characters. He lives in St Maarten with his wife and will sign artwork that is purchased. We spent two hours in this museum last year. We were happy to see he is still there after the damage. We talked with him and they are up and running again. Very worth the stop.

This was the most joyful mass we have ever attended; I was sorry when it concluded. A Catholic church, but with a bit of a Southern Baptist flair. Excellent choir. The priest concluded his homily by playing his guitar and singing "How Great Thou Art". So powerful. People celebrating a birthday (including my husband) were asked to stand while the congregation sang "Happy Birthday". Visitors also asked to stand while a welcome song was sung. Parishioners were so friendly and welcoming. A highlight of our trip!

Known as the "flat island"
A very picturesque little island, a very beautiful but small beach. It's surrounded my crystal clear waters, great for snorkelling with a few dive sites dotted around the waters surrounding the island. The island can only be reached by private boat, private hire boat or organised tour.

Beautiful beach in the Dutch side of Sint Maarten. Parking lot is really neglected, but you’ll forget it immediately thanks to golden sand and turquoise water.
If you don’t need sunbeds and umbrellas, you’ll see at first glance that you just have to walk a few steps to lay down your beach towel away from crowd and steaming grills. Enjoy!

Our tour stopped by this distillery and I was very excited because one of the partners was from my hometown back in the states. I had tasted their creations at an event in Columbia, SC and said the next time we were in st. Martin we would stop by. Well lucky for us our tour stopped by! There were plenty of samples and people to answer our questions. It was such a fun stop. Love all the flavors they have created, thinking my favorite two are the white chocolate raspberry and the mocha! Thanks guys!!!

Clean calm water, no seaweed, lots of eateries and bars and some quirky shops, art shops and souvenir shops to look through. The beach is big, not as popular as Orient Beach but much nicer. Great beach to walk along and the swimming was lovely in the clam blue water. Beautiful!
