St. Maarten Sky Explorer Adventure: 360° Sentry Hill Experience
Overview
See St. Maarten from its highest point on a scenic journey where the views are the main attraction. Ride the Soualiga Sky Explorer for approximately 25 minutes as the landscape unfolds below on your way to Sentry Hill, the island’s highest elevation at 1,125 ft.
At the summit, panoramic viewing platforms reveal spectacular 360° views across St. Maarten and the Caribbean. On clear days, you may even spot the neighboring islands of Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Barts, and Anguilla—an incredible backdrop for photos.
Your experience also includes access to the Emilio Wilson Museum, set within the historic Rockland Estate, where you can discover the powerful story of Trace Wilson, born into slavery on the estate, and her direct descendant Emilio Wilson, while learning more about St. Maarten’s history and heritage.
Combining breathtaking views, a peaceful mountain ride, and meaningful island history, this is a relaxed and memorable way to experience St. Maarten from above.
