Authentic Eco & Cultural Experiences in St.Maarten / St.Martin

Seagrape Tours is run with joy, passion, and deep island roots by Nascha Kagie and Werner van de Zilver.Our journey with St.Maarten began long before we became tour operators.We met the original founders, Ilja and David Botha, through friends on the island and quickly discovered a shared love for everything that makes St.Maarten / St.Martin special.When they set off on new adventures, we continued Seagrape Tours with the same heart, quality, and respect for nature.Since January 2021, Seagrape Tours has been proudly operated by us.

Though both born in the Netherlands, our story is woven through the Caribbean.Nascha spent her childhood on St.Maarten, and together we explored the region extensively before settling on Aruba for eight years.In 2011, we returned home to the Friendly Island where our hearts always belonged.

Our passion is simple: celebrate the island’s beauty, culture, and people, and share it in a way that protects and honors its fragile natural heritage.Every tour we create is designed to immerse guests in the real St.Maarten / St.Martin—its stories, flavors, landscapes, and traditions.

Our tours are built around authentic, off‑the‑beaten‑track experiences that reveal the true spirit of St.Maarten / St.Martin.Guests explore hidden corners, vibrant culture, and natural treasures that most visitors never encounter.Every experience is eco‑focused and responsible, highlighting the island’s delicate ecosystems and encouraging awareness through meaningful, hands‑on activities.

Small private groups allow for deeper connection, personal attention, and a relaxed pace.Cultural immersion is at the heart of what we do—travel through history, meet local artists, taste traditional foods, enjoy colorful street art, and discover the island’s Dutch, French, and Creole heritage.Nature lovers can enjoy birdwatching, mangrove exploration, coastal landscapes, and many other unique encounters with the island’s environment.

Every Seagrape Tours experience is offered privately, allowing guests to explore St.Maarten / St.Martin at their own pace with personal attention and authentic connection.
