Creator's Key Takeaways

We did this once before, so we'll link the video down below, but it's nice this time because we're more familiar and we know all the places we want to go.

This is a small beach with a big welcome thanks to the adjacent airport runway. Here you get up close and personal with jet engines by the minute.

This is truly one of the best beaches in the world in our opinion, and life moves a bit slower here along the bay's brilliantly clear waters and a long stretch of soft white sand beaches.

If you're considering a trip to St. Martin, do it. You won't regret it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book Johnny's ATVs online in advance because it's very busy
βœ“Arrive early at Maho Beach or visit on a day when cruise ships aren't in port to avoid crowds
βœ“Time your visit to Fort St. Louis for sunrise or sunset for a real treat
βœ“Bring a cooler and use the multiple storage pockets in the ATV
βœ“Use an International Day Pass for cellular and GPS service on the island

Travel along as we explore St. Martin & St. Maarten from our favorite cruise port of Philipsburg, the capital of Sint Maarten, on our Norwegian Cruise Line aboard the brand new Norwegian Viva. Today, we're exploring the island in style with our friend Johnny from Johnny's ATV & Buggy Rentals in a brand new luxury ATV. Johnny's fleet of ATV's are the absolute best way to cruise the island! We visited many of the most popular St. Martin attractions, including the famous "Airplane Beach" Maho Beach, The Capital City of Marigot, Fort Louis, and the stunning Orient Bay Beach. We hope you enjoy this vlog as much as we enjoyed our time in St. Martin with Johnny & Company :) Our previous St. Martin/St Maarten vlog: https://youtu.be/zXKFktUNHP8 Book Johnny's ATV & Buggy Rental: http://www.johnnysscooterrental.com/ Hello Travelers!
