Extreme Plane-Spotting at Maho Beach
- About 4 hours 30 min
Turn-up your Caribbean vacation at the most famous beach on Saint Maarten, Maho Beach.
This attraction is unmatched as low-flying jet-planes literally are a few feet above beachgoers—a thrill worth experiencing.
As we head out westward from the Philipsburg port into the welcoming sunshine to relax and enjoy the tantalizing turquoise blue Caribbean waters complimented with the smooth white powder sand of Maho Beach,
you will meet other patrons of the famous Sunset Beach Bar that are plane enthusiast like yourself, sipping cocktails (own expense) while actually feeling the vibrations of incoming and outgoing planes.
Feel your adrenaline soar as you focus your camera to score some impressive pics of the arriving jumbo jets. The planes veer overhead to land at the nearby runway of Princess Juliana International Airport (SXM).
Your day of beaching combined with extreme plane spotting has begun!!!
