Head out from Tri-Sport's Simpsonbay location for an adventure into the history and geology of St. Maarten. You will pass over The Causeway and ride towards the French capital, Marigot, with a short stop at the famous monument depicting the border where the treaty was signed more than 350 years ago between the Dutch and the French. Continue along the mostly flat Bellevue road and through Marigot's bustling waterfront market, stopping at Fort Louis for amazing views of the bay. Next, follow the route around the Lagoon to Baie Rouge where your guide will point out some geological wonders like Devil's Hole and Point Bluff, a small deserted island, which was once the entry point to the Lagoon. Ride on through the opulent neighbourhood of Terres Basses, and then stop off at the famous Maho Beach where you can almost touch the planes as they approach the runway, mere inches above your head. Enjoy a cold drink and then head back to the starting point in Simpsonbay.
Please note that St. Maarten does not have cycling lanes, therefore this tour requires cycling with traffic, which might be an uncomfortable experience if you are not accustomed to it.
