Editorial Summary

The creator documents a five hour Adventure Island Tour on St. Maarten with Bernard's Tours. The excursion begins with breakfast at Java Blue before the group heads ashore to meet their guide, Mailman. The tour covers various landmarks, including the Oyster Bay Marina, where the creator notes the lingering effects of Hurricane Irma. The itinerary includes a visit to an iguana sanctuary where visitors can feed the animals with leaves on sticks. The group then travels to Grand Case, described as the gourmet capital of the islands, for time at Captain Frenchy's beach bar. A stop in Marigot provides an opportunity for shopping and sampling local pastries like brioche and almond croissants. The tour also highlights the border between the Dutch and French sides of the island, marked by a specific monument and flags. The final major destination is Maho Beach, where the creator observes large aircraft landing and taking off very close to the beachgoers. The day concludes with the group returning to the ship via the taxi roundabout.
