St Maarten Brewery Experience and Maho Beach Bar
Embark on a thrilling journey as you take in the scenic views of the island as we make our way to our first destination: SXM Beer, the largest brewery on the island. Here, you’ll delve into the fascinating story of the brewery, learn about their unique brewing process, and indulge in a tasting of their specialty flavors—some exclusively available at the brewery!
Your first stop will last approximately one hour and includes a wristband, a commemorative take-away cup, and your first beer. Any additional purchases, including merchandise, are not included in the tour price. Guests will also enjoy a $2 discount on any flight tasting following the tour.
On the way to Maho, enjoy a quick stop at "The Coconut Man," where you'll learn about the health benefits of coconuts and have the chance to savor a freshly prepared coconut.
Next, we head to the world-famous Maho Beach, renowned for its thrilling low-altitude plane landings. Here, you can soak up the sun on the beach, watch planes soar overhead, or unwind in the shade of the beach bar. This stop lasts approximately 3 hours. Upon arrival, enjoy a complimentary welcome drink (Rum Punch or Beer). Lunch is available from the full menu at your own expense. Beach chairs and washroom facilities are provided, but please note there is no pool access. While in Maho, take the opportunity to explore the charming village or visit the newest attraction, We Culture: The Carnival Experience, for a vibrant cultural immersion. Alternatively, try your luck at Casino Royale, where new guests are treated to an exclusive offer: buy in for $50 and receive $100 in total play value! Enjoy promotional slot tickets for even more chances to win big!
Lastly, we make our way back to the ship; however, if you prefer to be dropped off in Philipsburg to continue exploring, simply inform the driver.
