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!!!

Great experience
Clarissa_T, Apr 2024
Would recommend! We arrived via cruise ship and they picked us up near the port. They provided directions on how to get to the parking lot to meet them (5-10 min walk from the ship). We saw beautiful birds at the sanctuary.
Excellent and fun. Great for kids.

Our tour guide, Lloyd, was amazing. So knowledgeable, well-spoken, and friendly. I have been on so many tours and he is truly the best tour guide.
BEAUTIFUL bird sanctuary with bonus tour stops along the way!
Maria_B, Jan 2024
MUST SEE & DO! This experience was certainly worth the half day or so I spent traveling to and around the island and eventually to the bird sanctuary. These rescue birds are beautiful and so cute! PRO TIP: - this is located on FRENCH side. - Ticket comes with pick up drop off and mutually agreed location. They were able to graciously pick me up at Simpson Bay Resort on DUTCH side. - not sure if this is normal, but the driver that picked me up and dropped me off was absolutely amazing in providing a tour along the route to the sanctuary of the amazing history, look out points, and other tidbits of information along the route. I certainly was not expecting that at all, and really appreciated having, a great conversation about the rich history of the people, the economic and political climate, and so much more! If you are able to, I highly recommend you specifically request their driver, Lloyd! He was kind enough to take pics for me as I traveled solo! - because of the above - TIP generously! - there is a tiny little museum attached to the bird sanctuary. Where you can learn a little bit more again about the people of the island. So worth it!

Parrotville Rocks
Robert_J, Jun 2023
The parrots landing on me was most surprising and feeding them was great too. I liked the kids feeding the toucan bird.
An unexpected gem
Stacey_K, Mar 2023
A surprising gem! This bird sanctuary/rescue is wonderful. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Seeing and feeding the birds was a really nice activity. The cheese stop was a nice addition to our day. Our guide, Lloyd, was fabulous. Definitely worth a visit for all ages!
Fun interacting with birds
Elizabeth_U, Jul 2022
We took this excursion when our ship docked in St. Maarten. It was so much fun. Our driver stopped to give us an excellent photo opportunity and then we went to ParrottVille. Once there, we were given holders filled with bird seed. There are so many parrots and other species of birds that land on your cup - or shoulder - or head. They also told us to use slow-mo mode on the video on our phones to capture video of the birds in flight. There was a small museum. Then we went for cheese tasting and a scoop of ice cream. Such a great couple of hours!
Birds up close and personal
Evelyn_S, May 2022
If you are looking for something different and nature related, this could be the excursion for you! You'll get a little seed cup to hold, and the birds will land right on it (or maybe even your head or shoulder). The variety and colors of the ringnecks was amazing! we also stopped at a little cheese shop on the way back. Very gouda!
