St Maarten Sky Explorer and Flying Dutchman Adventure
Overview
Take St. Maarten adventure to new heights with breathtaking Caribbean views and the ultimate adrenaline rush on the legendary Flying Dutchman!
Start aboard the Soualiga Sky Explorer for a scenic 25-minute climb to Sentry Hill, the island’s highest point at 1,125 ft. At the summit, step onto panoramic platforms and take in spectacular 360° views of St. Maarten and the surrounding Caribbean islands.
Then it’s time to fly. Strap into a secure chair-style harness and take on The Flying Dutchman — the world’s steepest zipline. Launch from the mountainside and reach speeds of up to 56 mph, dropping an incredible 1,050 ft (320 m) in elevation over 2,800 ft (853 m).
Soak in the Caribbean from the top, then experience the mountain at full speed on the way down. One incredible view. One legendary flight. One St. Maarten adventure you’ll be talking about long after you land.
