Description

Visit the restored Emilio Wilson plantation house where you will find the Soualige Sy Explorer chairlift entrance and a museum. Your adventure begins in this restored plantation house originally built in the 1700s. The Museum tells the powerful story Trace Wilson who was born into slavery on the property in 1818 and her direct descendant Emilio Wilson. Guests will read 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.’ 


You will then proceed to the Soualiga Sky Explorer chairlifts, comprised of sixty-eight, four-passenger chairs, that takes a tranquil ride up two lifts spanning a total of 2,997 ft. as the landscape unfolds below. A spectacular panoramic view on top of one of St. Maarten’s highest mountains awaits you. 


Sentry Hill is one of St. Maarten’s highest elevation at 1,125 feet. Walkways and platforms encircle the mountaintop showcasing 360 degrees including vistas of neighboring islands Saba, St. Barts, St. Eustatius and Anguilla and in clear weather, even St. Kitts and Nevis as well.


Embark on the Soualiga Sky Explorer to mid-station for the Schooner Ride; where you’ll surf down the mountain in an inner tube through the curves and straightaways of a specially designed track. The ticket includes two Schonner Rides per person.


From the transfer station, visitors can enjoy the thrills of a traditional zip line. This 500-meter, four-span line traverses the mountain ridge. The perfect combination of hiking and zip line.


Enjoy the spectacular view at your own pace then visit Emilio's restaurant at the base. Seating is nestled among authentic antique colonial walls of the Old Barn and offers a menu of classic favorites with a new twist. Drinks and meals are not included in your package.
