About this activity
You and your team will go on a lively and amazing race through Philipsburg, the capital town of St Maarten. Modeled after popular TV shows, you’ll have a fun time sightseeing and getting to know St Maarten in a way most tourists never do.
The race combines action, adventure, and sightseeing in a fast-paced, fun environment. With a map in hand, you’ll solve clues which will lead your team to the next destination and will direct you to perform a task, or complete a challenge for bonus points.
Each optional challenge is different – some mental and some physical and can range from building a sand castle to sampling a traditional food to a jump in the ocean.
You can run fast or take your time to enjoy the sights – there is plenty of time to complete the adventure without running. The winning team is announced during an awards ceremony and each member of that team gets a prize to take home with them. It isn’t always the first to cross the finish line as the final score is compiled using both the race time and points for the challenges.
Note: The tour includes approximately 4KM/2.5 miles of walking throughout town over a 2.5 hour time period. There are sidewalks and you get to go at your own pace. Each group receives a cell phone to stay connected to a group leader in case of a problem. There is no age or fitness restriction to participate. Come ready to have fun! One person from your team should be prepared to go for a short swim in the ocean.

It was good and the ladies and gentlemen running the tour was phenomenal. I do think they should limit teams to 5 people. We had 8/9 so it was a bit much. But I would recommend it because you get to see more of the area.
Our family of four had an amazing time with this excursion. Not only was the event planned out and fun but we made an error on the day that we were to arrive in Phillipsburg and they still accommodated our family with no problem at all.
This was a lot of fun!! We did it with two other adult couples and found it to be challenging enough for adults without being too difficult for the kids. The crew does a great job of keeping up with everyone and they are always there to help you along the way. PS You may want to brush up on your Caribbean islands.
We all had a great time on the adventure race walking tour. There was a good mix of challenges and the total time of the race was just about perfect. Although we discovered that we would not make for a great team in The Amazing Race television show, we still had a ton of fun!
