Three exciting experiences in one excursion. Consisting of two lifts the Aerial Sky Explorer brings you to the top of one of St. Maarten’s highest peaks while the scenery unfolds below you. The Schooner Ride sends you surfing down the mountain in an inner tube. The ultimate experience will be taking the Flying Dutchman, the world’s steepest zip line, from one of St. Maarten’s highest peaks!

The Museum tells the powerful story Trace Wilson who was born into slavery on the property in 1818 and her direct descendant Emilio Wilson. You will see depictions of what life was like on a plantation and learn about the customs, traditions, lifestyle and stories that earned Sint Maarten the nickname ‘The Friendly Island.’
