The sun rose on the last day of our island hopping and even though we were sad, we had managed to squeeze in two tours.
The first stop was a Horseback Riding tour in the warm waters of St Maarten. Both of us had never rode a horse by ourselves before, but the nerves were quickly diminished by the views.
Visiting the Coolest Beach in the World
One of the lessons we learnt in St Maarten was when things go wrong you find travel gems. We had originally booked to go helmet diving in St. Maarten but after our horseback tour we arrived at our pickup destination to only find that our tour had been cancelled.
With still hours left in our last cruise day we jumped into a taxi and asked them where the most visited tourist attraction was. They informed us about Maho Beach and that we would have to be quick to get back to the cruise line in time.
Boy are we glad we came here, being blown away by the jet engines just metres above you as the landed on one of the smallest runways in the world is a sight that should be seen with your own eyes.
