Creator's Key Takeaways

I can tell you exactly how to get there for $4. $2 each way. Take a bus, one of the local buses.

I'm Corey with Mountains to See Crew. I've been coming to St. Martin for over 15 years.

Look for a bus that says Maho or Mullet Bay on the front of it. And that's going to take you to uh Maho.

When you're done, just come right back over here. This is probably the best place to uh to go and catch a bus.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Catch the bus between the Omega Shop and the Diamonds International in Philipsburg.

Wave down buses returning to Philipsburg from the designated stop in Maho.
