Rhum Distillery, Lunch & Maho Beach Tour (Plane Spotting Enthusiast)
Tour Overview
Perfect for plane-spotting enthusiasts, foodies, and culture lovers, this flavorful 5.5-hour tour blends St. Maarten’s iconic aviation thrills with rich rum heritage and Caribbean cuisine.
Your journey begins at Topper’s Rhum Distillery, where a 90-minute hands-on tour reveals the craftsmanship behind the Caribbean’s favorite spirit. Explore the fermentation, distillation, and blending process, then enjoy unlimited tastings of small-batch rhums and a slice of signature rhum cake. Shop for exclusive flavors and island-made souvenirs in the on-site boutique.
Enjoy a Caribbean BBQ lunch overlooking the lagoon — grilled chicken or ribs, rice or fries, garden salad, and a glass of rum punch — freshly prepared by Topper’s award-winning restaurant.
Guests who book the All-In Package will cap off the day with 1.5 hours of free time at Maho Beach, where you can watch jumbo jets land just overhead — one of the most thrilling aviation sights in the world.
Beach chairs, umbrellas, and any purchases made at the beach are the responsibility of the guest and are not included in the tour price.
