Explore on your own terms
Grab an ATV and get round the whole island, make stops in each corner, to ensure you see what the island has to offer. Try all things French to the North and go Dutch to the south. We hired through Jonny's ATV rental - a short walk from the dock.
Flight 324; You're cleared to land
Immerse yourself in the thrill of standing on Airport Beach and feeling the powerful jet thrust as you are pushed into the inviting waters of the Caribbean Sea. Marvel at the sight of commercial jet aircraft skimming the water and sand just above the heads of beachgoers from the
Sunset Beach Bar. Time your visit to coincide with the landing of an Air France 777 or KLM 787 from Europe for maximum impact - check the arrivals board at the bar. Indulge in one of the delicious plane-themed pizzas for a unique dining experience!
