After checking in with your passport (St Barts is a French territory), board the Voyager 3, a state-of-the-art high-speed ferry boat that features air conditioning, and drinks on board. Specially designed to cross the sea, the catamaran provides a comfortable ride with minimal bouncing.
The ride south of St Martin takes approximately 60 minutes from Marigot and 30 minutes from Oyster Bay. When you reach St Barts, meet your guide for your 1-hour tour of the island’s highlights. Stop to admire views and take photos, and learn about the island’s history and culture from your guide.
Your island tour ends in Gustavia, the capital of St Barts, where you’ll sit down to lunch at a local bistro. While you relax on a terrace overlooking the red-roofed town center and harbor lined with sleek yachts, enjoy a lunch of French-influenced island cuisine.
Afterward, you have about 2.5 hours of free time to explore Gustavia on your own, using your provided walking map of town. Browse the chic boutiques and jewelry stores, check out the Wall House Museum to see historical artifacts, walk to Shell Beach to swim or snorkel (equipment provided), or visit the old fort. Alternatively, just enjoy a drink or two at a tony waterfront cafe. (Entrance fees, food and drinks are at your own expense.)
At the designated time, head back to the ferry terminal for the return ride to St Martin.
