If you are arriving by ship, your tour starts at the Cruise Terminal near the statue of Peter Stuyvesant. If you are staying on the island, you can park at Bobby’s Marina and enter the cruise ship terminal via the EDC Parking lot . Wait for us by the big white tent.

This activity will end right where it started.
Make your way to the Philipsburg cruise terminal to meet your group and cycling guide. After a brief safety orientation, get fitted for a bicycle and safety gear. After you practice a little bit go get comfortable, follow your guide into the streets of Philipsburg.

Visit the Passangrahn Hotel, the oldest inn in St Maarten, and learn about its colorful history and West Indian architecture. In the center of town, see the Philipsburg Courthouse on Front Street and Captain Hodge's Wharf.

Leaving downtown, pedal up Little Bay Hill, which affords views of Great Bay, Little Bay and the whole of Philipsburg from the top. Feel free to hop off and walk your bike up the challenging hill. 

Pedal through the Divi Little Bay Beach Resort to reach Fort Amsterdam, perched out on a peninsula. Built in the 17th century, this fort was the first belonging to the Dutch in the whole Caribbean.

Excellent tour
Michele_C
, May 2022
My husband and I had a great time on this tour. We had Jenel and Marci as our tour guides. They were patience & knowledgeable, I haven't rode a bike since childhood but they made sure I was ok and kept up with the group. They gave us a great history lesson of the island and answered all my husband questions. I recommend doing this tour.

We really enjoyed having Marci as our tour guide: she was courteous, knowledgeable, and took us to some interesting sights and provided a good narrative. Two areas for improvement: 1) wish we had more time to explore the Boardwalk and shops. 2) Logistics - tour company told us to meet at a restaurant, but our guide was looking for us in the parking lot. We missed each other for 30 mins and only got a 2.5 hour tour instead of 3. Disappointed that we were penalized for it even though it wasn't our fault.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your tour, and I will pass on the information to Marci. I'm very sorry about any confusion on the meeting location, however. We had said the parking lot of the restaurant, but we should have looked for you inside when we didn't see you. Thank you so much for taking the time to make a review and I hope you will try one of our other tours next time with an extra drink on us!

This is a great tour. Easy for novice bikers, lots to see, and Jenel, our very friendly tour guide, was a wealth of amazing stories about the Friendly Island. We’ve been coming here for years but it took another bike-riding family members not find this and suggest we do it. We’re so please it happened!

Great Bike tour in and around Philipsburg
Joachim_v

I had planned this tour via internet a couple of weeks before we reached St. Maarten. We arrived at the agreed time close to the main pier and our guide Jenel was already expecting us. The bikes were bigger then usual which is exactly what I ordered as we are both 2m tall. Our guide Jenel proved to be very knowledgable and funny. He showed us nice spots on the Island and gave us many background information in an interesting and entertaining way. The three hours tour was time well spend and we particularly wanted to thank Jenel for showing us the city.
