Best Things to Do St. Maarten 2026 We Are SXM, Tourist Info Center

“Top-rated adventure park near Philipsburg & the St. Maarten Cruise Port with thrilling rides, chairlift, ziplines, the world’s steepest zipline “The Flying Dutchman” and stunning hilltop island views!”

Rainforest Adventures is one of the best things to do in St. Maarten, making it a top choice for cruise visitors seeking an unforgettable experience close to Philipsburg and the island’s cruise port.

Begin your adventure on the Sky Explorer chairlift, which rises 2,997 feet above sea level and rewards you with breathtaking 360° views of St. Maarten, the turquoise Caribbean Sea, and nearby islands. At the summit, take a short break with refreshments before bracing yourself for the Flying Dutchman, the steepest zipline in the world and one of the most thrilling attractions in the Caribbean.

The fun continues when you ride again and race down the Schooner Ride, a twisting inner-tube slide that guarantees excitement and laughter for all ages.

Rainforest Adventures is more than just adrenaline; it’s also about history, culture, and sustainability.

Located on the Emilio Wilson Estate, just minutes from Philipsburg and the St. Maarten cruise terminal, this eco-adventure park ensures every attraction blends fun with minimal impact on nature. The estate is home to a cultural plantation museum, where visitors discover the Wilson family’s story and the island’s past through artifacts and exhibits.
After exploring and experiencing the attractions, you can enjoy a delicious meal at Emilio’s “Dine with History,” the estate’s elegant restaurant.

Whether you are traveling with family, friends, or fellow cruise passengers, Rainforest Adventures delivers both thrills and heritage, making it a must-do activity and one of the top-rated highlights of St. Maarten.
