More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into warm trade winds at the base of Sentry Hill and ride a slow gondola—the Sky Explorer—up to St. Maarten’s highest point. The mountaintop opens like a panorama: scrubby limestone ridges falling to turquoise bays, roofs clustered around the harbor, and the steady pulse of ocean beyond.
