St. Maarten Orient Bay Beach Water Sports Excursions

This family fun excursion is held on the popular Orient Bay, on the French side of St. Maarten Island, just a short taxi ride away from your cruise ship port. There are 2 fun inflatable rides to choose from - banana boat or a large saucer shaped ride! Once at the location, the excursion guide will greet you and provide a brief explanation on how to ride safely. A lifejacket is mandatory during the

tubing ride. The banana boat ride is exactly that...a large inflatable banana that the guests sit on "horseback" style with handrails in front of you to hold on to. The towable saucer ride may ridden 2 ways...either sitting down like a large sofa or laying down on your stomach with the others to the side of you. You will be accommodated to balance the weight on the tubing and slowly towed from the shoreline. The ride is very exciting as one or two waves can make the inflatable bounce as it crosses the waves. Falling off is half the fun so be ready! The ride takes 15 to 20 minutes, enough time for everyone to laugh, scream and enjoy of this extremely fun ride. There is an "kids only" towable tube available, the jet ski rider will take in consideration the child's ages and reactions to level the speed and intensity accordingly. After your adventure, you can enjoy the beach facilities and get back to the cruise ship at your own leisure and cost. This is an excellent option to add to your St. Maarten Parasailing At Orient Bay!
