ST. MAARTEN,
Netherlands,
Aug. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ --
This Caribbean island, though only
37 square miles packs a real punch in terms of how much there is to
do.
When dreaming of the trip to this island, it will be surprising
just how much there is to see and take in. Adventuresome members
will enjoy the SNUBA lessons where people of all abilities are
allowed to take part in scuba diving amongst the marine life
without being certified. Fly Zone Xtreme is a paradise for
zip lining activities and those that love to participate in this.
This begins with a bus ride to the top of Pic Paradis, the highest
mountain on the island. This is followed by zipping over the
tropical forest land and trees. This tour accepts no reservations
and is first come first served and lasts two hours.
St. Maarten Zoological Park will have First Choice Travel St
Maarten members in awe of such native animals as macaws, parrots,
reptiles and other local species. These animals can be seen
relaxing in a tropical environment. Some animals that are unique to
this island that can be seen at this zoo are the Green Velvet
Monkies, Common Marmoset, Cotton Top Tamarin, Ocelot, Bush Dog,
Peccaries, and Capybara. Such reptiles to observe here include
iguanas, red-footed tortoises, snakes, and Spectacled caimans. This
is located near the boardwalk and cruise ship port and offers tours
and birthday parties on site. It actually is the largest zoo in the
Caribbean. Zootique Gift shop is located there for visitors
to purchase mementos, books, postcards, handmade crafts, kids toys
and souvenirs to take back home. An interactive pirate ship for
kids is at Captain Hodges Playground
and is a hit for children who visit this zoo.
There are a myriad of opportunities to be active on or in the
sea. Orient Bay is one of the busiest beaches and serves as a water
playground for everyday visitors and
First Choice Travel St Maarten members who love to take part in
physical activities. Jet skiing is a fun activity that many enjoy
here. Other activities on the water include windsurfing,
parasailing, snorkeling, and riding banana boats. Reservations are
not needed to rent any of this gear, just ask around for referrals
based on experience or rates.
A unique attraction for tourists is located at the center of the
island that shows keen interest in the Guavaberry and liquor made
from it. This brand of spirits consists of cane sugar and oak aged
rum. An old cedar townhouse located in Philipsburg is the
location of the Guavaberry World Headquarters where visitors can
participate in taste testing of this fruity and sweet liquor.
Several attractions in St
Maarten will provide members of First Choice Travel St
Maarten with all types of fun excursions. There are tours that
include surfing, riding a catamaran to visit a dolphin park.
Another tour offers an exploration of both the French and Dutch
sections of the island. The Great Salt Pond is located on the Dutch
side of the island. It showcases native birds like the heron,
egret, ruddy duck, and sandpiper. Quarter-d'Orleans is the
site of the first French village that was settled in the 1600s.
Whether zip lining over the trees, snorkeling, taking your kids
to the zoo, or learning how to scuba dive, First Choice Travel St
Maarten members will have plenty of adventure, fun, and educational
opportunities in this St. Maarten
vacation.
