St. Maarten has a colorful history, and our guides love sharing it with you. On this Historical Bike Tour, you will start at the Cruise Ship Terminal, where you will get acquainted with your bicycle. Your guide will then lead you first to the southern part of Point Blanche for views of St. Barths, before heading back to Philipsburg where you will enjoy a variety of stops at historical points of interest, such as the famous Salt Pond, The Freedom Fighter’s Monument, Captain Hodge’s Wharf, and the old Courthouse, built in 1793. A refreshing complimentary drink on the Boardwalk as well as a chance to swim in the turquoise waters of Great Bay is well deserved before you make your way back to port.
