Catamaran Charter in Saint Martin

Things to see and do during your catamaran charter in Saint Martin

Pic Paradis – the top of the world island!

Although it’s only 424 meters high, Pic Paradis offers a beautiful panorama of the Caribbean Sea and Marigot, the main city in the French part of Saint-Martin. If you’re in the mood for a hike, you can start trekking from the base point at Loterie Farm – a natural sanctuary spanning 55 hectares. With an estimated hike time of three hours, be sure to pack a picnic and plenty of water!
If you opt for the hike, you are likely to observe not only butterflies and monkeys but also iguanas, many of which hide among the tropical trees! The path requires good footwear as it is often steep, but it is worth the endurance, winding its way through lush vegetation and leading to wide open views of the Caribbean Sea. Enjoy stunning views over Marigot, Orient Bay and even the Saint Barth island.
