Overview

St Maarten – St Martin has a unique and fascinating cultural heritage, our local identity. One Island, One People! Our cultural heritage is rich with generational lessons of flora and fauna, food and drink, music and dance, language and trade. As Sint Maarteners, we have much to be proud of. The history of our people is embedded in the stories of our ancestors, the music and dance of our souls, the food and the remedies of our soil, and the occupation of our hands. The cultural heritage of a nation or region is not solely composed of monuments and museum collections, but also of living intangible expressions inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants. Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) has been recognized because of its value to the people of every nation, creed and tongue. Our half day Cultural Heritage Tour is very informative, for the mind, the body, the eyes as well as the taste buds.

Staying anywhere else on St Maarten or St Martin? For guests choosing pick-up at other hotels, lodging addresses, residence addresses or companies including cruise ship guests there are 2 options: 1. We can pick you up for an additional fee per person, depending on the location. Please check with your activities desk or contact us to see if your location is listed as a paid pick-up location. 2. We will pick you up at the prior mentioned LOCAL TIME from the parking lot of Chesterfield’s Restaurant, Dock Maarten, in Philipsburg (See location on map below). Parking is available for the first hour at USD $2.00, each additional hour USD $1.00. No pick-up fee will be charged. No Uber or similar services have started on our island yet, so you’ll need to get there by taxi or rental car. WALKING ROUTE DIRECTIONS to MEETING POINT for CRUISE SHIP GUESTS from the cruise ship terminal (it'll take you 10 minutes when walking a regular pace):: Exit the cruise ship terminal through the main exit, onto the main public road and turn left following the road to Philipsburg. After a five minute straight walk you'll see Johnny's Scooter Rental on your left, it's a small shack with a big smiley sign on top. Go to the parking lot behind Johnny's Scooter Rental. We'll be on that parking lot in a silver van. If you prefer not to walk, you can ask one of the many taxis at the cruise ship terminal to drop you off at Chesterfield's Restaurant for a couple of dollars. Bear in mind they, maybe, will wait for their car/van to fill up before they depart.
