OUR STORY

Why We Started EXPLR.SX

Planning a trip to St Maarten, St Martin, Anguilla, or St Barts can be overwhelming. You’ll find the same commercial tours over and over — with little local insight and no personal support.

We created EXPLR.SX to change that — a trusted, concierge-style platform for booking island experiences that feel personal, authentic, and unforgettable. No crowdsourced listings. No generic tours. Just real connections, local knowledge, and smoother planning.

You’ll never feel like just another tourist.
