Noel Tours, Taxi & VIP Services
French-side based private transport with flexible hourly rates and group capacity.
Why Go
Based in Marigot on the French side, Noel Tours fills a particular niche in St. Martin's transportation landscape: flexible, private ground transport with the capacity to handle groups of eight or more. The hourly rate structure means you are not locked into a fixed route — you dictate the itinerary, and the driver adapts.
The Experience
Noel Tours operates across both French and Dutch sides of the island, providing private transportation that scales from individual airport transfers to group outings of eight-plus passengers. The flexible hourly rate structure is the key differentiator: instead of booking a fixed-route tour or paying per trip, you engage the service for a block of hours and use it however you choose. This works particularly well for family reunions, wedding parties, corporate groups, or friend groups who want to customize their island day without the constraints of a pre-planned itinerary. Airport, hotel, and port transfers handle the logistics of arrival and departure. Private tours can be structured or improvised — tell the driver your interests (beaches, food, French culture, shopping) and let local knowledge shape the route. The Marigot base gives the service strong French-side expertise, an advantage when navigating Grand Case's restaurant strip, Orient Bay's beach clubs, or Marigot's market and marina.
What to Try
Book an hourly package for a group day exploring the French side — Grand Case for lunch, Orient Bay for the afternoon, Marigot for sunset drinks. The group capacity (8+) makes this cost-effective when splitting among friends or family.
Insider Tip
The hourly rate often works out cheaper than multiple individual taxi rides for groups. Discuss your ideal day with the driver before departure — their French-side knowledge can elevate a generic island tour into something genuinely curated.
