ANGUILLA DAY TRIP

The powdery, white sands of Anguilla’s beaches are considered amongst the world’s best, but not everyone that visits this part of the Caribbean can afford the budget range of Anguilla’s luxury resorts. But that’s not to say that Anguilla is only for the jet-set and a day trip to Anguilla from St Martin is an excellent way of experiencing what this Caribbean island getaway has to offer.

Only a short fast boat ride away from the Simpson Bay area/St Maarten Airport, you’ll have time to explore the island by taxi or rental car, have lunch at one of the magnificent beachside restaurants, scuba dive or snorkel its fringing reefs or maybe play a round of championship golf. So whether you want to dive a wreck, swim with dolphins or just laze away on a pristine beach, a day in Anguilla shouldn’t be missed.

ST BARTS DAY TRIP

Often dubbed the ‘French Riviera of the Caribbean’, the hilly island of St Barths (also referred to as St. Barthélemy or St. Barts) is well known for being one of the region’s most exclusive and most expensive islands. Catering predominantly to the rich and famous, its 21 white-sand beaches, designer boutiques and mega-yacht filled harbour are more than a reason to plan a day trip to St Barths.

Regular high-speed ferries make the crossing from St Martin to St Barts in just 30 minutes, so within no time you could be touring the island by rental car, relaxing on an uncrowded beach, lunching at a waterside café or browsing the fashionable stores of Gustavia and St Jean. For a more active day trip you could dive or snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, try your hand at SUP or maybe even swim like a dolphin with SeaBob. So for a taste of the high-life why not book a St Barts day trip today. Just remember to bring your wallet!

SABA DAY TRIP

For scuba divers, nature lovers or anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of St Maarten, the tiny volcanic island of Saba is an eco-tourism paradise. Lush tropical forests cling to the impossibly steep slopes of Mt Scenery while underwater a kaleidoscope of colourful marine life glide effortlessly through the clear, blue waters of Saba’s Marine Reserve. Untouched by mass tourism it’s easy to see why Saba is affectionately known as the ‘Unspoilt Queen of the Caribbean’.

Take the ferry to Saba in the morning and spend the day exploring the island’s beauty, both above and below the surface. Well marked hiking trails traverse the island, passing through a diverse range of flora and fauna while affording spectacular costal views along the way. Saba’s underwater realm is a scuba diving paradise, with some dive sites rated amongst the Top 10 in the World! A day trip to Saba is a must for all that enjoy what nature has to offer.
