St Maarten Flying Dutchman Ultimate Adventure
Overview
Take adventure to new heights on one of St. Maarten’s most iconic experiences, combining incredible Caribbean views with the legendary Flying Dutchman.
Your adventure begins aboard the Sky Explorer, climbing for approximately 25 minutes to the top of Sentry Hill, St. Maarten’s highest point at 1,125 ft. At the summit, take in spectacular 360-degree views across the island and out toward neighboring Caribbean islands.
Then comes the reason you’re here. After a safety briefing, strap into a secure chair-style harness and launch down The Flying Dutchman — the world’s steepest zipline. Reach speeds of up to 56 mph as you descend 1,050 ft in elevation over a thrilling 2,800-ft ride back down the mountain.
From a peaceful ride above the landscape to an adrenaline-filled flight down the mountain, this is one of the most unforgettable ways to experience St. Maarten from above.

What To Expect
Get ready to experience St. Maarten from above on an adventure combining history, incredible views, and the legendary Flying Dutchman.
Begin at Rockland Estate, where you can discover the story of the estate at the Emilio Wilson Museum before heading up the mountain.
Board the Soualiga Sky Explorer for a scenic ride on two chairlifts spanning a total of 2,997 ft, as panoramic views of St. Maarten and the Caribbean unfold below.
At the top, receive your safety briefing and prepare for the highlight: The Flying Dutchman, the world’s steepest zipline. Secured in a chair-style harness, launch down the mountain on an exhilarating 2,800-ft flight with a 1,050-ft elevation drop before returning to Rockland Estate.
The complete experience takes approximately 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on attendance and wait times at the park.
