Tiki Hut Snorkel Park

We've been to Maho beach a few times and are looking for something different.

Has anyone been to the Tiki Hut Snorkel Park? Here is the description from Trip Advisor; and for the most part it has good reviews. Just looking for a little more from the cruisers perspective.

Owner description: Tiki Hut is a floating platform that can hold up to 80 guests in a shallow cove in Little Bay. The snorkel park is 20-30 feet deep. On the TIKI HUT you'll find a nice bar & grill, deck chairs, umbrella's and a 5 feet deep pool. You can stay as long or as little as you like. Snorkeling, hanging out at the bar, have a tasty hamburger or fish sandwich or a cold drink or,relax in a noodle chair, with a floating bar in the watery blue.

Thank you!

I'd be interested to learn anything anyone is willing to share....does it cost money to hang out here? Where does one catch a water taxi and how much does that cost?

There is a website which has some details and based on the ship you are cruising how to handle no prices but it does look like it may be a bit commercial for my taste!

There are two excursions on-island that call themselves Tiki Hut or such.

The one you describe, above, is located in Little Bay, and the other is on Pinel Island.

There was quite a discussion here in 2012 about them, and I have a post there with links to both websites.

The entire thread makes for some interesting reading.

p.s. The Water Taxi only runs in Great Bay, between the Cruise Facility and downtown Philipsburg,

Did this last April while cruising Grandeur Of The Seas. We had a good time. More of just a hangout really. Not much in the way of fish to see. The day we were there, there was another snuba tour that parked right near us. While snorkeling, you could actually see them walking on the ocean floor below you. Hence, not really many fish. They had a cash bar and a TINY bathroom. If your looking for an exotic snorkel with a lot of marine life, this isn't for you. However, if you want to relax on the deck, get in the water every now and then, have a drink or 2, this may work for ya. Would I do it again? Ummm....Maybe.

There has been some interest in this excursion, and wondering if anyone has any info or a review about this.

Thank you

My bff will be turning 40 the day we are here. We are considering this excursion. If anyone knows about it first hand please let me know. What im wondering is if we book it for 9 am do we get to stay all day or just till noon? We notice there is two departures. Please advise.

Anyone do the Tiki Hut then Maho beach? Wondering the best way to get from Tiki Hut to Maho, if possible vs going back to the ship after excursion.
