All the fun at Rainforest Adventures Park starts in a restored plantation house originally built in the 1700s. The museum tells the powerful story of 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 St. Maarten the nickname “The Friendly Island”.
Embark on the Soualiga Sky Explorer to mid-station for the Schooner Ride, where you’ll surf down the mountain in an inner tube! Challenge the curves and the straightaways of a specially designed track to let the fun and the adrenaline flow! Hop back on Soualiga Sky Explorer and glide up to the mountain ridge of Sentry Hill. After your orientation at the transfer station, you will put your safety equipment and harness system for your Sentry Hill Zipline flight over the mountain ridge!
To complete your bottom-to-top experience, glide on the Soualiga Sky Explorer to the top of Sentry Hill, one of St. Marten’s highest elevations at 1,125 feet (342.9 meters). The entire chair-lift experience encompasses two chairlifts and a series of platforms encircle the mountaintop showcasing 360-degree views of the island, including vistas of neighboring islands Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Barts and Anguilla. When you are ready to descend, simply board the Soualiga Sky Explorer for a last scenic trip down the mountain.
After this fun-filled day, you will find Emilio's Restaurant, which offers a menu of classic dishes with a very peculiar touch.
