Sunita's Taxi and Tours
Personalized taxi and custom island tours with experienced local drivers.
Why Go
What separates a great island taxi experience from a forgettable one often comes down to the driver. Sunita's Taxi and Tours builds its reputation on experienced, friendly drivers who treat every ride as an opportunity to share local knowledge — turning a standard airport transfer into an introduction to St. Maarten and a custom tour into a genuine insider experience.
The Experience
Operating 24/7 from Simpson Bay, Sunita's covers the transportation basics — airport transfers, cruise ship pickups, hotel and villa shuttles — while distinguishing itself through personalized tour offerings. Custom island tours can be tailored to your interests: beach-hopping across both Dutch and French sides, the famous Maho plane-spotting experience, Marigot's French-Caribbean waterfront, Grand Case's restaurant row, and viewpoints that most visitors miss without a knowledgeable guide. The air-conditioned vehicles make a real difference during a full-day tour under Caribbean sun, and the service emphasizes punctuality — a quality that matters enormously when you have a flight to catch or a dinner reservation to make. The Simpson Bay base provides natural access to the hotel corridor, airport, and the routes that connect to both sides of the island. Shopping trips to Philipsburg or Marigot are also part of the offering, with drivers who know where to find parking and how to time visits to avoid the worst crowds.
What to Try
A custom half-day tour is the best introduction to the island — specify your interests (beaches, food, culture, photography) and let the driver build a route around them. Airport pickups with a pre-arranged driver remove the stress of arrival day logistics.
Insider Tip
Ask your driver about Grand Case for dinner — the local drivers know which restaurants are currently delivering the best experience, which is more current information than any review site can provide. Booking a full-day tour early in your trip gives you orientation that improves every subsequent day.
