The best of the best
This trip combines the charm of the mundane French part of Sint Maarten with the liveliness of the Dutch part. The hilly island has a rich African heritage and offers top-notch water sports and the finest cuisine in the Caribbean. Island hopping, you'll discover the lush volcanic St. Eustatius. 'Statia' is small, pure and unspoiled and has a fascinating history, wonderful hiking opportunities and a vibrant underwater world dotted with shipwrecks. Where the world can't find you...
