Sky Explorer with 360 views and Museum Ticket St Maarten

Posted By : BigMerk
I visited here with a cruise ship excursion. We were dropped at the gate early and were the first tour to ascend the skylift that day. The skylift looks quite scary but felt safe once you were on. It’s basically a sofa attached to a ski lift (or thats what it looks like) rising up the mountain to the top. The views going up and down were amazing as were the views from the top. There is a bar too (drinking at 10am - but who is judging). You may get some Dutch courage there for the zip line (an additional $25) going all the way down - I chose not to do that. Great experience and a cool little museum too. They also have a gift shop and a restaurant at the bottom.

Well worth it for me and I had great time enjoying the slow ride up to the top. Can easily do a 360 degree view from there and spent some time just looking around.

April was quiet, no lineup. Beautiful views from the top of the hill. Lots of staff so felt safe on the ride. Didn’t do the zip line down, enjoyed the slower ride instead.
The museum was very informative and interesting..
The restaurant served a very nice lunch and drinks. Well worth a visit for the best views of Simpson Bay & St Phillipsburg.

After we booked, they wanted us to complete a waiver, this made me very nervous and no mention of this before booking. In the waiver it mentioned health conditions again I was worried our insurance would be void if anything happened. Therefore, I decided to cancel. Eventually, I got a response. 10% was deducted for admin again I expected a full refund.

Gorgeous views, nicely done amenities. We did not use the zip-lines, but it seems like people are really enjoying them.

A very interesting tour. There is small museum at the foot of the mountain with a lot of historical information on the island and its development from earliest human settlements to current times. There is a chairlift to the top for viewing and the zipline. Halfway up there is a stop for a bobsled type ride. Gorgeous viewpoints at the top, you can see Anguilla, St Barths and Saba. There is a bar and seating area available at the top as well. You can take the chairlift down or zip line. I think there are different wrist bands depending on your method of descent!

Relaxing ride to the top. Great views. Interesting museum of artifacts and island history. Recommended for first time island visitors.

We never got on the lift. Their waiver app was not functional Seo we couldn’t ride. They have no refund
Not a happy ending. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Great 360 views of the island from the top deck next to the Flying Dutchman launch station, but our day was marred by a lack of care & attention to safety, we took the sky explorer back down & one of our party got a minor injury due to the lack of reminders to lift our feet & the young lad got distracted nearly sending us over the edge without lowering the safety bar, the staff on the next lower level were helpful & attended to the minor injury, but upon returning to ground level, the lack of interest was blatantly obvious,?we were all left traumatised by the experience, they offered us a complimentary photo for our inconvenience,?when I stated this wasn’t enough. & wanted a full refund,?the lad said he would bring a manager, this didn’t happen & we were only offered a refund for the injured party, only after insisting that all wanted a refund were we taken to the management offices, where they still insisted that only one of us would be refunded, after an intense discussion did we receive a full refund, the lack of interest & health & safety training were very obvious, I wouldn’t go there again nor recommend anyone else to do so either

We had a wonderful day at the sky explorer. Fantastic views of the island from both the ride up and down. I f you are scared of heights, you really would be ok with this ride. It's nice and slow and in most areas going up it isn't that far off the ground. (Some spots are higher of course) but it is slow and steady, very relaxing. We had lunch in the restaurant at the bottom, very good (drinks were AMAZING) nice afternoon excursion.
