Mountain Biking
Plan a day of mountain biking. St. Maarten may not be the No. 1 destination for mountain biking, but bikers will find an excursion around Marigot, the capital of the French side of St. Martin, a great way to explore the island and a fun way to spend an afternoon. Bring your own bike, and gear or rent from a bike rental company; however, only a handful of bike rental companies are established in St. Maarten. TriSports offers bike rentals and bike tours.
