Activity of the Week: The Flying Dutchman

Looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush? Head to Rainforest Adventures on Rockland Estate and experience The Flying Dutchman – the steepest zip line in the world. Seated in a secure harness, you’ll drop over 1,050 feet in elevation along a 2,800-foot cable, soaring down the mountainside with panoramic views of St. Maarten and the surrounding Caribbean.

The adventure begins with a peaceful ride up Sentry Hill on the Soualiga Sky Explorer, a chairlift offering sweeping 360° views of neighboring islands like Saba, St. Eustatius, Anguilla, and St. Barts. Once at the top, you’ll receive a safety briefing before taking off on the ride of a lifetime.

As you descend, expect a thrilling combination of speed, height, and scenery. It’s fast, exciting, and completely unique — making it one of St. Maarten’s most unforgettable experiences.
