7-Day Eastern Excursions

[imlazar]

Greetings, I wanted to see if anyone had any feedback on the following excursions. We'll be taking our DS's (5 & 2.5) and possibly our parents, in their 80's but very active still.

St. Maarten:
- Island and Butterfly Farm Tour
- See and Sea Island tour (w/ submarine ride)
- Anguilla Dolphin and Stingray encounter

St. Thomas:
- Coral World

I'm also looking for beach recommendations for both islands. Where would you take two small, and very active, boys.

Thanks!!

If you want to do Coral World, take a taxi yourselves from the pier. It will save you a fortune from booking on the ship. I think it was about $16 plus tip per person roundtrip. Coki Beach is right next to Coral World, if you want to snorkel. My husband and I went last year and the snorkeling was fabulous by the rocks to the right of the beach. The water is crystal clear. You cab driver will probably also have a discount coupon for Coral World. It is an easy cab ride and there are always taxis available for the return trip. We are planning to do this again on our return trip 11/26. Hope this helps.
