Overview

Self-guided audio tour · $8.99

The skeletons are real. Three people were found beneath a Philipsburg lane in 2010, and their DNA traced each of them back across the Atlantic. This self-guided audio walk on the Dutch side of St. Maarten runs from the boardwalk to the salt pond and the lane where they were found, at your own pace, never far from the pier.
