Air scout and Flying Dutchman (Sint Maarten)

Every adventure begins in this restored plantation house originally built in the 1700s. The Museum tells the powerful story of Trace Wilson, who was born a slave on the grounds in 1818, and her direct descendant Emilio Wilson. You’ll see images of what life was like on a plantation and learn about the customs, traditions, lifestyle, and stories that earned St Maarten the nickname ‘The Friendly Island.’

Board the Sky Explorer for the roughly 25-minute drive to the top of Sentry Hill; one of St. Maarten’s highest points at 1,125 feet. The experience includes two chairlifts and a series of platforms that surround the mountaintop and offer 360-degree views of the island, including views of neighboring islands Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Barts, and Anguilla.

A brief introduction prepares you to fly off the mountain on The Flying Dutchman; The steepest zipline in the world! You’ll be strapped to a flight line in a safe, harnessed seat, which launches you onto the 1050-foot drop over 2800 feet to experience the ride of your life.

After your day of adventure, souvenirs and attraction photos are available at the shop.
