What should we do?

Can anyone suggest what we can do as far as tours, excursions, site seeing, beaches for my family of 7 including my husband and I and 3 kids ages 7,5,3 and two grandparents? Thanks

Which of the things you mentioned are of most importance to you and the family?

All of them really and it just depends on what options there are. Just looking for good advice and tips or things others may have done and enjoyed with the whole family!

We were there a couple weeks ago. Group of 6... ages ranging from mid 40's to 10. We ended up getting in a cab to go to Orient Beach and the driver offered to be our driver for the day. We stopped by the road side "feed the iguana" site, Orient Beach, Grand Case Beach (had lunch there), Marigot for pastries, Maho beach, and had some time to shop in a straw market he took us to.

It was about 5 hours or so, he charged us $150 and we tipped him $30. Lunch was $55 at Scooby's.

NOTE: The taxi service offers it's own tours (http://taxistmaarten.com/), but we did NOT sign up for these.
