Where to zip line?? And other excursions?

[terbear]

Thanks for the input on Dragon's Breath Zip line...still no opinions on St.Marteen zip line...it's call Loterie Farm Tree Top. Please if anyone has done this, what did you think???
Looks like we might have missed out on trying the Canopy Tour in Puerto Rico, as it is no longer listed under the shore excursions section.

I was just in St. Maarten for the second time. First time we did Orient beach. It was a beautiful beach, but windy and a bit rough, followed by an aborted horseback ride through Lucky Stables (haven't got a good thing to say about that organization). This time our horseback ride was cancelled for legitimate reasons (at a reputable stable) and we ended up at Orient as a second choice for the afternoon. Sand was blowing so hard it was taking the tan off our skin! It was not a fun day.

You would think we would not care for St. Maarten, but we still do! If I went tomorrow I would take the water taxi to town, look around a bit at the native market, read my book on the little beach there, maybe taxi back to the ship (wrist band is unlimited) for lunch or check out a local eatery, and then spend some time back at that beach. It is not the world's greatest beach, and beach lovers will find it lacking, but our morning there (before the aborted horseride this year) was relaxing, quiet, and inexpensive.
