Clean ferry, island not worth it
lindap18052
, Feb 2022
The ferry ride was fairly smooth, considering it’s usually a rougher ride. Crew was personable and served beverages both ways.
Unfortunately St Bart’s was a very unfriendly island. We tried numerous taxis several times and NONE were willing to take us around the island! In fact at one point there were 6 taxis in line and all said no, even though they sat at the taxi area for well over an hour! Other couples said the same. So after walking to Shell Beach, then back into town for lunch, we had 3 hours of nothing to do.
You should remove the following sentence from What to Expect on the booking information.
“Taxi island tours cost around US$12 per person, or privately for around US$50 for two.”

Nice crew
Victoria_H
, Aug 2019
They were on time, both going to St. Bart's and returning back. It was pretty choppy ride out and the crew was very nice and helpful to those who got sick. We took Dramamine about an hour before and didn't feel sick at all. Make friends on the ride over so you have someone to share a taxi tour with to reduce your cost. The local vendors will not negotiate on prices at all in St Barts.

As I read in several reviews, the way to St Barts is very bumpy, the ocean is choppy. I would recommend taking a nausea pill before boarding if you have sensitive stomach. It is nothing to be concerned, I felt very safe and the ocean is beautiful. St. Barts is indeed a charming island, we went to Shell Beach, had a great time. The water is clear, beautiful day. Plan your shopping before you head to the beach since all stores close till 3 or 4PM. In case you are able to take Euros it is a better option they charge an outrageous ' exchange rate' in all stores and restaurants. The way back was smooth, we loved our day trip.

The ferry is very easy to access, especially since our hotel was right across the bay. The crew is professional and courteous. One note, the ride to St Bart's goes into the wind so it can be VERY choppy. If you are prone to sea sickness take precautions!

Even though the swells were high on the way over to St. Barts, it didn't matter cause the staff was great and the views were wonderful. We sailed on time to and from St. Barts. The process went smoothly for boarding in St. Maarten and St. Barts. We loved St. Barts and would recommend using Viator in the future to those wanting to book side trips on vacation.

I just wasn't impressed with St. Barts. I'm not a big shopper and that is what greets you when you dock at St. Barts. We went to Shell beach which definitely describes the beach area. Millions of shells, however small ones. We saw a school of dolphins which was fun to watch. Don't use the restaurants beach chairs though. They wanted $60.00 from us to sit on them! Everything was expensive. If you wanted to take a taxi to see any of the island, the cheapest we found was $30.00 for a 5 mile trip (one way)!

, Nov 2014
The crew was great, the boat was clean and well maintained, and trip over and back were on time. Yes, the crossing is rough, but that is normal at all times here. If you tend to get sea sick (suffer from motion sickness), then take medication or avoid altogether. A great way to spend some pleasant time on St Barts.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
