Nice excursion - We enjoyed this excursion and had a great time. The Orient beach was a bit too rough and we didn’t get in but enjoyed relaxing. It is next to a nude beach which we didn’t realize when booking. Not really an Issue but there was an older woman on our side that walked by topless. Maho beach was fun and we liked watching the planes. The drive around the island was nice and our driver Rafael was great at pointing things out. On our way back the bus did get stuck in second gear but Rafael kept us safe and was able to get another close by bus to stop and transferred us. No issues in getting us back to the ship on time.

Great tour! King David... - Great tour! King David was the best and very knowledgeable. Orient Beach was more for getting sun and Maho Beach was great for a bite to eat and plane watching. I can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful Beaches and Amazing Tour Guide - Absolutely outstanding tour; King David was a fantastic tour guide! The only change I would recommend is just having Maho as a quick picture stop and spend more time on Orient beach! I would I highly recommend this excursion!!!

1/2 day beach visit - Is what’s advertised. Prompt (slightly early) pickup at hotel. 1 hour at Orient beach than 1.5 hours at Maho beach. Only suggestion would be it would be nice if some arrangement was made for short term chair rental at orient beach Bus driver was informative and entertaining (? King David)

Orient Beach and Maho Beach - Orient Beach is European style which means you will encounter some nudity. And if you venture to the nude section be prepared.

Ship time and island time - The time you post is the time on the island if your ship time is different, they should make you aware of it as we missed part of our tour due to that. We came off at ship just before the time that the tour was leaving to find out that it had already left. However, they did come back and get us and we missed part of the tour.

Meet at private pickup... - Meet at private pickup lot right by security exit, not by other taxis. We did not make it to Maho beach due to traffic which was a bummer.
