What To Expect
Your adventure begins at Rockland Estate, where you’ll board the Soualiga Sky Explorer and glide above the hillside as incredible views of St. Maarten unfold below.
Stop at the mid-station for the Schooner Ride, grab an inner tube and surf down the mountain through the curves and straightaways of a specially designed track.
Then, ride the Sky Explorer toward Sentry Hill. Take in spectacular panoramic views before gearing up to fly over the mountain ridge on the Sentry Hill Zip Line.
Then comes the ultimate thrill: the Flying Dutchman, the world’s steepest zip line. Strap into your chair and launch down the mountain, dropping 1,050 feet over 2,800 feet for an unforgettable flight with St. Maarten stretching out before you.
Explore the Emilio Wilson Museum at the historic estate and discover stories of the people and history that shaped the island.
Enjoy the views and capture those only-in-St. Maarten photos before heading back with memories of an incredible day riding, sliding and flying above the island.
