Highly organised thrill of a lifetime - Highly organised establishment with well trained staff conscious of safety if everyone. Helmets and harnesses of good quality were provided with safety information on signs around. We were not allowed to have our Go Pro whilst zip lining they provided lockers with your own key. We were told to have phones in pockets for our safety. Cameras capture you on the Sentry Hill and the Flying Dutchman lines. The chair lift took about 20 minutes to the top, Sentry Hill had 3 zip lines zig zagging with only short steep steps and paths up to each one. There is a bar at one of the platforms just before the Flying Dutchman which you can soak up the amazing panoramic views from so high up. You give your name to staff as there is a waiting list to fly the Dutchman which was exhilarating and just as much fun as the Sentry Hill zip lines. Would do it again and again for the rest of my life if I could it was so much fun. We enjoyed a cold drink at the bar at the coaches/minibuses drop off and pick up point. You can choose when you go back to the cruise port as there were buses every hour. Last bus for our ship was at 3:15pm.

The entire 3 parts were... - The entire 3 parts were very well organized and everything ran smoothly today — after the Flying Dutchman was shut down for a few days . There was very little wait time at any of the events . The museum is also an interesting informative place — well done ! I thank all the employees who did their jobs with wonderful smiles and putting everyone at ease . The office staff was very helpful moving my reservation due to the shutdown . Thank you all Bill Grams

Fun - The chair lift ride up was full of beautiful views. The scenery is amazing from the top. The zipline down was so fast and over too quickly but a lot of fun.

St. Marteen - Up high, All the way Around and Down (full Speed) - This was an amazing experience: unforgettable and well worth every effort and every penny. Whether you have what it takes for the Flying Dutchman or the Sentry Hill zipline or just the Sky Explorer and Museum and 360 views, please make the effort and do this if you are in St. Marteen. To begin, the Sky Explorer is really nice: you wont be scared - its secure and you are taken care of by the attendants. From the moment this ride begins, you will gasp in amazement at the sheer beauty of St. Marteen. I underestimated it.... but the landscape of mountains, coastline, landscape will take your breath away. If you dare: do the Flying Dutchman. If you are an oldie and want to do the Sentry Hill, its still ok. But the Flying Dutchman is the thrill seeker. The hike up is a good cardio test, so try it out. And of course at some $129 US it is value for money/ there are also less expensive options depending on your appetite. Book before hand on line - you have to reserve a spot or for a family. You can do so from your hotel concierge or online. You may think its a lot, but once you see what's involved, you will think differently. had no issues with staff as they were all courteous and helpful. The Museum had some nice souvenirs quite reasonably priced. And of iguanas will get your attention. Oh btw, please resurrect your restaurant with some good food.. and drinks (and I don't mean iguana stew (LOL). I wish you all the best.

Trip adviser vs official site - Nice outdoor park with an awesome view of the island. My only negative thing to say is I booked through trip advisor and don’t see anywhere that says close toed shoes for zip lining. So I could not do the zip line since I had teva sandals on. However the official website does say that. It also doesn’t discuss coming at a certain time you just show up and go whenever between there open hours. The trip adviser hours are different than the official websites hours as well. Where is the disconnect between the two here?

The worst experience of my life so far - The worst waiting in lines experience of my life. For 15 mins of fun you have to wait 6+ hours in lines. I’ve never wasted so much time in lines in my whole life. This is unbelievable, since I’m writing it still waiting in this line. I might be late to the ship and our last bus was supposed to depart 10 mins ago. We started at 11 am and now it’s almost 5pm, and there’s 15 more people in front of me. Ship departs at 5:30 pm. So let’s see if we make it back to the ship. The longest wait lines of my life. I don’t care about ziplines anymore, just want home… And no food too for the whole day, but it’s ok. Just make sure to have good breakfast.

Sucked - We got there waited in line because of a down website while busses of cruise ships pushed ahead of us and waited 2 hours in line for lift then got to top and had to wait another hour and forty five to go down the Dutchman. We tried to do the canopy tour while we waited and a rude employee told us that we could not do that while we waited. He told us that our reservation wasn’t priority. This place is a scam and will waste ur whole day and money for a 30 second ride or a lame canopy tour.

Ruined Day - The view was cool but we didn’t even get to the actual zip line because we had to wait on 3 lines for 3 hours then were put on a waitlist for over 2 hours once at the top. Hey wouldn’t let us do something else so we left because we already spent the whole day there and had dinner reservations. The rude employee told us that our reservation wasn’t prioritized over the cruise ship goers, which over 100 people got to go in front of us.
