Saint-Martin

Saint Martin is an island split between the French collectivity of Saint-Martin and the Dutch territory of Sint Maarten (formerly part of the Netherlands Antilles, but now a constituent state of the Kingdom of the Netherlands). It is one of the smallest land masses divided between two countries. The roads are narrow, sometimes quite bad on both sides of the island, and often very crowded between Philipsburg and Marigot. See also "Stay Safe" below. Taxi cabs are usually vans, which are geared towards servicing the cruise ship traffic. To go completely around the island will cost about USD 25 per person. Most drivers are quite willing and able to hire-out as tour guides. Most charge USD 45-50 per hour, and can offer a custom experience for 3-4 people that can be less expensive and more versatile and satisfying than large bus tours offered by cruise ships or hotels. Taxis do not have meters but charge according to a fixed fee. Some taxis, especially those on the Dutch side, only accept US dollars Saint Martin has a bus system using small minivans. You can recognise the vans because in the front window they will have a sign stating their direction and their license plate says bus. You can get most anywhere on the island for USD2 and the airport for USD3 - buses accept both euros and US dollars but most locals pay for their bus fare using dollars. They run frequently between Philipsburg and Marigot. There are stops that the buses will stop at when someone is there, but you can flag one down from just about anywhere they can pull over as well as ask them to stop anywhere they reasonably can.
