St. Maartin has been an inspiration to artists for centuries. See how modern-day artists interpret the island's beauty, lush nature and interesting people with the "St. Martin Around the Island Art Tour." During this meaningful experience, you'll visit four artists at their galleries, studios or homes in Dutch St. Maarten, as well as French St. Martin. Sit back and relax as your air-conditioned vehicle makes its way from locale to locale while your guide shares stories of the island's history. As you meet each artist, you'll hear their unique backgrounds and see the island through their eyes. After meeting each artist and admiring his or her work, you can buy originals or reproductions (what a great way to "escape" to the island once you get back home). During the excursion, you'll be treated to iced coffee, iced tea and a "stroopwafel," a Dutch water cookie that's filled with caramel.
