Zipline Adventure: Sentry Hill & Flying Dutchman (Sint Maarten)

Consisting of two lifts, the Sky Explorer takes you to the top of one of St. Maarten’s highest peaks as the scenery unfolds beneath you, the Schooner Ride lets you glide down the mountain in an inner tube.
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 into slavery 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 have given St Maarten the nickname the Friendly Island.
After your orientation at the transfer station, don your safety gear and harness system for your Sentry Hill Zip Line flight over the ridge. You will then board Lift 2 to the top of Sentry Hill; a brief orientation prepares you to fly down the mountain on the steepest zip line in the world, The Flying Dutchman. You’ll be attached to a flight line in a secure harnessed seat, which launches you on the 1050-foot drop in altitude over 2800 feet to experience the ride of a lifetime.
To complete your thrill ride, enjoy a final ride on the Sky Explorer to watch the panorama of the magnificent Emilio Wilson Estate unfold as you glide over the mountain to the base area. After your fun-filled adventure, souvenirs, attractions, and photos will be available for purchase in the gift shop. Nestled between authentic antique colonial walls, Emilio’s Restaurant offers a menu of classic favorites with a new twist. Food and beverages are available for purchase.
