Check out Seagrape Tours. They have a history tour an art tour birding tour and walking tour. We did the art tour last year and it was well worth the time, We were taken to the art studios of several St Maarten artists to include Rube Bute and Sir Roland Richardson, both artists were in their studios/shops and chatted with us about their work. Highly recommended

As others have mentioned, since you enjoy the butterfly farm, please check out Parrotteville, as it is quite interesting. Not sure anyone has mentioned Loterie Farm, but I think it's a lovely lunch with tapas, or for a really decadent experience (which I haven't personally done), spend a day by the pool there. If someone is REALLY active, check out the zip lines there. Be advised they are more like an obstacle course, however, more than a true zip line. The 25 meter yacht race is another really cool activity and your level of activity is totally determined by you. You can be everything from a grinder, which is VERY strenuous, or the bartender, which is what I did! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

SandS said: Climb up to Fort Louis. The view is incredible. Agreed. Also agree with the Butterfly Farm. Find your way walking to Happy Bay. Worth doing at least once. Walking Baie Longue is interesting. I also liked hanging out at Baie Rouge.

Looking back across our 20 years of coming to St. Martin (we're not THAT OLD are we??? Sadly, yes...sigh...) a few things stand out...
Dining in Grand Case of course is a highlight...several times each vacation... and trying many different restaurants..
Going to Club Orienf for a day, renting chairs and umbrellas for a day, and working up our courage to to try skinny dipping in that clear, warm water... We were hooked after one minute...and have never looked back!
Taking the Tiko Tiko Club Orient trip to Tintamare... And later the P&P around the island powerboat trip. Both clothing optional...
Jewlery shopping on Front Street in Phillipsburg.
Taking the 12 metre challange and crewing Stars and Stripes in a race against Canada II for three hours. (Yes, the REAL America's cup Champions!)
and... most importantly,... Learning to relax and enjoy a slow paced, wonderful, relaxing vacation in a tropical paradise with absolutely NO "if this is tuesday, this must be ..." rush - rush schedules!
