We had an amazing morning with Julian who brought us from Belair Beach Hotel to the Aviary. The Parrot Aviary is so much fun. You get a cup of seeds and the parrots land all over you! My daughter (13) loved it!! All different colors and sizes of birds. I got a mocha frappe there and they have ice cream which the kids enjoy. Very clean bathrooms. Then we went to Rotary Lookout Point for IG-worthy photos. Lovely spot you would never find. Finally Amsterdam Cheese store in Phillipsburg to buy some snacks and local guavaberry rum. Julian was very professional and a safe driver in a beautiful new van with good AC and working seatbelts (which we have found rare here).

Our experience with Twin Island Excursions was fantastic!! Our tour guide, Lloyd, was amazing! He met us exactly where and when they said he would. The van was immaculate and the a/c worked like a champ. He grew up in St. Maarten so he had a ton of great information for us about the island and the surrounding islands. He made several little stops giving us the opportunity to take pictures, dip our feet in the water, buy from a local bakery, feed the iguanas, do some shopping and of course the bird aviary. The bird aviary was wonderful! It was very clean and well cared for. All the birds looked healthy and beautiful. The gentleman running the place was very knowledgable and willing to answer all of our questions. The birds were very active and more than willing to land on you for some seed. If you would like to have several birds on your head at any given time I recommend wearing a boonie hat lol. When our time was up, Lloyd bought everyone in our van ice cream!!! On our way back to the port we stopped at a gouda cheese store which was amazing and had a ton of samples. At that point we were at the Phillipsburg shopping and beach area and Lloyd gave us the option to ride back to the ship with him or stay in the shopping/beach area. We opted to stay and had lunch at a cute little oceanfront cafe and took a dip in the beautiful water. The best excursion we took on our 11 day cruise for sure. Thank you Lloyd!!!
