Thank you
What a wonderful way to see the birds and as a benefit hear some of the history of the island. Binkie is a great guide and took us to places that we would not have found on our own, he knew where to go to see the birds. We saw 30 different types of birds and a few that were rare sightings at the time we were there. I would highly encourage all birders to take this tour!
Our guide made the tour a great experience for everyone! We all like getting off of the beaten path and not just hitting the “tourist” sites. Truly worth every minute !!!
Having visited St Maarten several times, we wanted an interesting mellow land-based experience, and chose the History Tour: excellent choice. We enjoyed a non-commercial day away from the crowds, learning about the island and checking out places we never would have found on our own. We highly recommend this ‘road less traveled’ quality-driven experience.
Lots of Joy
We, Nascha Kagie and Werner van de Zilver, met David Botha and Ilja Botha while enjoying quality time with friends on our beautiful island of St.Martin. We discovered a mutual love for all that is St.Martin.
When the time came that Ilja and David decided to go on new adventures, the choice to continue Seagrape Tours as the quality eco tour company it is, was made with lots of joy and love. As per January 2021 Seagrape Tours has changed ownership from Ilja and David to Nascha and Werner.
We are both born in the Netherlands. Nascha has lived and went to school on St Maarten as a young child. As a teen and young adult she lived, went to school and started working in the Netherlands. Werner lived, went to school and started working in the Netherlands. Being together since 1997, we went on an adventure journey through the Caribbean for several months in 2003 after which we decided to settle on Aruba. We lived on Aruba for 8 years before deciding to go back home, to the Friendly Island of St Martin. We returned home to our beautiful island in 2011.
Our passion is for the beauty of all which our beautiful St Maarten / St Martin had, has and will have. Our passion is for our island, culture and people. By showing and telling others about St Maarten / St Martin’s fragile natural beauty in a responsible way, We are hoping to create more awareness for conservation.
Love
David and Ilja have met while volunteering on a kibbutz in Israel many moons ago. In 2008 they changed their steady lives in The Netherlands by quitting their jobs and traveling around the world for a year.
In 2009 they decided to settle in one of their favorite countries: The Friendly Island of St Maarten. Since then their two lovely daughters were born – Zimri and Zenzi – and most recently in 2014, their own eco tour company Seagrape Tours saw light.
In 2021 they decided to take on a new challenge in the Netherlands.
My family and I had the pleasure of taking this tour at the beginning of our trip to St. Martin. We always enjoy learning a bit of the history of the places we visit. Nascha was an excellent teacher – clearly knowledgeable and passionate about St. Maarten and its people. This is a “must do” if you want to learn a bit about this wonderful island nation.
The students and staff really enjoyed themselves and we really appreciate the work that you all did! Thank you for everything!!! I can’t tell you how much we appreciate all of your kindness and understanding (customized educational agricultural, nature and hiking tour).

The difference in all the various tours is the sincerity of the guide and the small details. We have taken many tours in our travels and this tour was certainly one of our most enjoyable.
Visitor from Vancouver
Our tour guide Nascha took me, my sister and my 10 year old daughter on a great trip to visit different gallery’s and local artists on the island. She took all the time to let us ask questions and listen to the stories of the artists and let us experience a great variety of work. So thank you Nascha for this great tour. We could not leave without purchasing some art to keep the memory of this day even more alive.
