Here we are going on a private tour, Bernard's Tour, arranged by someone else on the cruise. Some of the highlights (excerpted from an email about the tour) will be:
"Grand case is more like a small dining village it great to stop for pictures there are a few shops but most of them are open in the evening,
we will make a stop at cole bay hill for viewing there are several other beaches such as mullet bay but these beaches are not equip with proper bathrooms and restaurants as orient beach.
Fort Louis is great but note that there is almost 122 steps to get there the view is perfect so who so ever wanting to go there that fine because it in marigot.
Any one intreated in doing the zip line? That where it located at paradise pick.
The butter fly farm is $14.00 per person.
We will also include other stops such as marigot hill we will make a short stop in grand case so who so ever want to walk around they can certainly do that.
Pic Paradise is great but they must hike up the hill this can be done at the lottery farm how ever I don't know if there will be enough time for this.
For example .. Sighting on both side of the island make several stop for pictures

This marker divides the island into Sint Maarten (the Dutch side) and St. Martin (the French side). Two different countries with their own laws, language, and government. You can have your passport stamped with both country stamps. Our passports were on the ship, we missed out.
Mailman demonstrates how the seeds of Flamboyant Tree make sound so they can use the pod as a muscial instrument.
Calvin gathered things from the tide pools and showed them. You could handle live animals and take a shell. Just leave a tip on your way out.
Orient beach and its corresponding club are on the French side of the island. No cameras are allowed on the beach. Old "shaky" came swinging and swaying over near the edge of the beach. He was very full of himself and letting it all hang out.
Some exciting beach activities.
Maho Beach is a beach on the Dutch side of the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, in the country of Sint Maarten. It is famous for the Princess Juliana International Airport adjacent to the beach.
Arriving aircraft must touch down as close as possible to the beginning of Runway 10 due to the short runway length, resulting in aircraft on their final approach flying over the beach at minimal altitude.
Due to the unique proximity of low flying airliners, the location is very popular with plane spotters. This is one of the few places in the world where aircraft can be viewed in their flightpath just outside the end of the runway. Watching airliners pass over the beach is such a popular activity that daily arrivals and departures airline timetables are displayed on a board in most bars and restaurants on the beach, and the Sunset Bar and Grill has a speaker on its outside deck that broadcasts the radio transmissions between pilots and the airport's control tower.
The beach itself is white sand and has little to no vegetation because of jet blast erosion. The Caravanserai Resort, the popular Sunset Beach Bar and other restaurants/night clubs such as Bamboo Bernies and Bliss are located nearby. The beach is popular with windsurfers and skimboarders because of occasional large waves.
So which narcotics are legal and allowed? Could make for an interesting time.
Ahh. Lunch at Serafina's Bakery. Well, we did accompany this with a sandwich.
