jfogle2017 Posted February 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I haven't cruised in over 7 years but RCI used to have excursions that went specifically to Maho Beach - do they not have any of these anymore? I see they have the cruise/snorkel one but we actually wanted to be on the beach..........we are not interested in doing independent excursions - for peace of mind, we prefer to stay with RCI for the guarantee............Thank you in advance!

emdia43 Posted February 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted February 26, 2017 You can get a taxi over there - takes about 20 minutes, costs $20 if I remember right.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted February 26, 2017 #4 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Most people go to Maho Beach (St Maarten) to see the planes and use a taxi for this...an excursion isn't necessary. If you just want to go to the beach there are other's you can choose from....again excursion not necessary...but that's up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valmoisy Posted February 26, 2017 #8 Share Posted February 26, 2017 There's a Maho beach in St. John that a lot of cruise ship passengers from St. Thomas go to. I'm not sure if the cruiselines offer excursions there but you can get there independently by taking a taxi to red hook, then a 20 minute ferry to St. John and a taxi to Maho.

matj2000 Posted February 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Maho Beach is not somewhere you want to be at all day. It is not a good swimming beach because it is very steep and gets deep quickly. Also very over-crowded with people and congested with traffic. You really need about an hour to see some of the planes land and that's it. In St.Maarten, we usually rent a jeep and drive around the island, making that one of the stops. Most of the island tours will stop there long enough to get your fill of planes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cb at sea Posted February 26, 2017 #11 Share Posted February 26, 2017 As said, Maho beach its NOT in St. Thomas. At most Caribbean Islands, "excursions" are not needed to have a beach day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A voice in the wilderness! Yes, there most definitely is a Maho beach on St. John, situated within the Virgin Islands National Park.

jfogle2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thank you everyone! I knew it was in St. Maarten - I accidentally typed St. Thomas. We just never go off on our own for fear of getting lost/stuck in traffic/missing the boat! We wouldn't want to stay there all day - we would just like to watch a few plans take off and land! As far as what else to do there, I don't know what else to do after watching the planes? Are there things to do near the port? We aren't going to be in St. Maarten for that long the day we are in port! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSGator Posted February 26, 2017 #17 Share Posted February 26, 2017 We rented a 4 seat dune buggy and drove around the island. It allowed us to see both sides of the island and spend an hour or two at Maho, and still make it back to the ship with time to spare. It was a flat $250 for the day and they are right there as you begin to walk in to phillipsburg (after walking from the cruise port).

mad-dog74 Posted February 26, 2017 #18 Share Posted February 26, 2017 https://www.jaital.com/st-maarten/st-maarten-maho-beach-break-tour_wnJN_2698.html Any reputable tour company will make sure you are back at the ship... RCCL contracts most of their excursions thru tour companies. Just going to Maho beach, I would feel comfortable doing that on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
