What To Expect

Rainforest Adventures St Maarten - Rockland Estate
As an adventure-seeker you will simply love this new thrill ride that takes you on the Sky Explorer with the landscape unfolding below to the top of St. Maarten’s highest mountain. Then you’ll go flying back down on the world’s steepest zip line.

Embark the Sky Explorer for the approximately 25-minute ride to the top of Sentry Hill, St. Maarten’s highest elevation at 1,125 feet. A series of platforms encircle the mountaintop showcasing 360-degree views of the whole island including vistas of neighboring islands Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Barts and Anguilla.

A brief orientation will prepare you to fly down the mountain at speeds of up to 56 miles per hour on the world’s steepest zip line, The Flying Dutchman.  You’ll be attached to a flight line in a secure harnessed chair, launching you on the 1050-foot drop in elevation over 2800 feet to experience the ride of a lifetime.

We had a great time. My husband thought it would be cheesy as we’ve been on various zip lines, but he said he was pleasantly surprised. The views are spectacular at the top and worth the cost just for that alone. There are various lookouts/benches with information about the surrounding islands in view. The ride up in the chair lift is relaxing and the zip down is a sling seat that you don’t have to worry about controlling the descent speed. I’m not sure if anyone with a walking disability would be able to participate as there are multiple levels/steps, so you would need to check that accommodation. It might be possible to stay on the chair lift too. They’ll take your photo at the top and near the end of the zip for purchase. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The history museum on the grounds was informative. I recommend going early i.e. before they open to beat the crowds and complete paperwork. Our tickets were purchased online but you’ll still need to complete waivers. Closed-toe shoes required. The inner tube ride seems like it’s been closed for awhile and we didn’t do the multi line zip course, so I don’t have a review on those activities.
Book it!

It was a good venture. The flying Dutchman was not bad at all. Before you know it, the flight is over. The ride up takes about 20 to 25 minutes. It's a beautiful view. The operators are friendly. We had no problems at all. Don't take a large bag and bring money for drinks at tge top.
A great way to see the island.
