For underwater exploration, snorkeling trips and scuba diving experiences are available at sites including Creole Rock, Tintamarre Island and Little Bay. Introductory dives are available for non-certified visitors, while certified divers can join guided reef and wreck dives.
Jet ski rentals and guided routes are also available on the Dutch side for visitors who want a more active experience on the water. Check current availability, group capacity, and departure points with individual operators before booking.

Land & Adventure Tours
Saint Martin’s land-based experiences range from guided island sightseeing tours to off-road ATV adventures. The island’s compact size means it is possible to see a great deal in a single day, crossing between the Dutch and French sides and visiting coastal viewpoints, local towns and landmarks along the way.
