Fort Amsterdam & Bay Views
Climb to where Dutch Caribbean colonization began in 1631. These weathered ramparts above Little Bay preserve nearly four centuries of military stonework, rusting cannons still trained on phantom fleets, and panoramic views that reveal why empires fought for this strategic promontory.
The Skeletons of Salt Alley
The skeletons are real: three people found beneath a Philipsburg lane in 2010, whose DNA traced them back across the Atlantic. A self-guided audio walk on the Dutch side of St. Maarten, from the boardwalk to the salt pond, at your own pace and never far from the pier.

St. Martin Cruise Port Logistics
Getting Off the Ship
Each tour starts at its own point in St. Martin. Its card above and its tour page name the start, and the tour page shows it on the map.
Walking Distance
The main attractions are within comfortable walking distance of the cruise terminal. All of our tours stay on paved roads and sidewalks, designed for cruise passengers with limited time in port.
Time in Port
Most ships spend 7-9 hours in port. You can comfortably complete multiple tours in a single port day with time left to explore on your own. Each tour page shows how long it takes.
Mobile Data
Keep mobile data on for the walk: each stop's story loads when you reach it, and a tour will not open without a connection. A tour uses roughly 1 MB per minute of narration, and each tour page shows its own figure. If your phone plan charges for data in St. Martin, check the rate before you go.
