Hi mirrodie: I want to give you some suggestions from my last visit with my 11year old son in August, 2017. I hope others on-island or recently visited can chime in if these activities are still available?
We loved renting Kayaks to go to Pinel Island. It was fun and exercise! We also rented a pedalo (a foot boat with a canopy) from Simpson Bay. It was super fun. We pedaled all the way under the bridge to see the big yachts -which I know someone posted there aren’t any right now. . We did the tandem jet skiing but my son was a little scared. We did something called “Big Martha” (I think), which was a big raft you secured into, and a jet ski towed you around. We spent a lot of time at Mullet Bay and there were two big boats that would anchor there, they let my son climb aboard and jump off which he loved. In Philipsburg, there was this giant, portable, floating gymnasium in the water. My son absolutely loved it but ended up with severe chafing from the life vest and his 100 jumps into the sea. I really don’t know if any of these activities are still going on? We also did a day trip to St. Barths which was cool because they also have a famous airport and the beach next to it is just beautiful. Good luck!! I hope someone will comment as to whether or not any of these things are up and running again. Enjoy your trip!
