  • Exhilarating Thrill Ride!

    Awesome and exhilarating experience! The lines for the Flying Dutchman was a little long but the ride was worth the wait.

  • Fun but long wait

    We purchased this experience online two days before we went. They offer six different options at this facility. The site includes the Emilio Wilson Museum, Sentry Hill Zip Line, Flying Dutchman, Sky Explorer and Schooner Ride. Our experience included all except the Schooner ride for $129 per person. We arrived at 1PM as scheduled and check-in was fast and easy. There are lockers for $6 near the entrance where you can put items you don’t want on the zip line. After seeing the museum, you walk to the chair lift. It goes extremely slow so it is easy to get off and on. There were very few people and there was no wait getting on the lift. Upon reaching Sentry Hill you go to an area to get your equipment to zip line. They put you in a standard harness and give you a hair net and helmet. You must wear the hair net under the helmet. No safety briefing was provided. They did not adjust my leg straps; I did it myself. The staff communicated very little. Since we have zip lined before I provided a safety brief. People were allowed to carry bags and purses on the zip line which is dangerous. There were about 8 people in our group. Two people at a time do the zip lines side by side. There are a total of 4 runs. There is a small amount of walking and stair climbing between zip lines. We completed the runs very quickly and then removed all of our gear. We were told to keep the hair net. We walked up to the observation platform with 360-degree views of the island. We then climbed a few more stairs to the Flying Dutchman. This is the steepest zip line in the world with the run dropping 1050 feet in elevation over 2800 feet. This is also a side by side run for two people. The staff again provided little communication and seemed to be very bored. There was a long wait line and it took us 1 hour and 35 minutes before we did the run. After a person goes down the zip line, they have to send the harness back up the same line for the next run. This slow process results in a long wait. The run is not as bad as it looks and not as fast as I was expecting.

  • Beautiful, stimulating experience but costly.

    Superb experience, especially the Flying Dutchman. A big leap into the void, but well secured and without anxiety. Some drawbacks. It is expensive because it is limited to a single passage. You can still enjoy the chairlift as much as you want, which offers a beautiful view both on the way up and especially on the way down. Online booking would benefit from allowing a fast track at the entrance to the park. We spend time making this reservation, answering a questionnaire, downloading a QR code, and ultimately it serves no purpose; we still have to go through the ticket counter (and thus wait in line with everyone who did not make a reservation), and the QR code is not even scanned. But it is an experience I recommend, even if it leaves you wanting more.

  • Crazy Experience. Got...

    Crazy Experience. Got there late and didn’t have to wait. Signed the waivers and took the lifts up. This one has you take 3 zip lines before you take the Flying Dutchman. Really fun and exciting experience!!! Highly Recommend

  • 5-Star Ziplines, 1-Star Cameras

    Ok the zip lines were fantastic and fun! 10/10 would recommend. However, we were quite disappointed with the quality of the advertised “best angle” of pictures and videos. The camera completely missed my husband, and got only a glimpse of me. They weren’t worth a dime, so unfortunately we left empty-handed. I wish I had had a clear fanny pack to take my own videos with.

  • Fabulous view! Fun rides! / frustrating wait due to poor line management

    This location was gorgeous! The ziplines were very professionally put together and we had no safety concerns. We arrived at 10:30 as the park opens at 11am and our ship had a 4:30pm return time, so we were very time conscious and wanted to get ready in advance if possible. No obvious line at start or sign with instructions, just large crowds milling around and a large cruise group going in early. First employee alerted us to the waiver (QR code on wall) but not the need for wrist bands. Next we were told to go the window for bands (ticket window marked "Reservations", but it didn't open until 11am. We started to wait, then realized we had "cut" in the line that was more crowd than line. Moved to back of "line". Next one employee told us to join a second line, only to be told 5 minutes later by a different employee that we had to get back in the original line which had grown. At the window make sure you have your "Reservation number from the email" as the bar code on the ticket from Viatour was not acceptable. Even after presenting the email, the window clerk took my phone and was scrolling through my email. They finally looked me up by name and we got wristbands. We decided to save the museum for last due to time. Gondola up the mountain was gentle with great views. Sentry Hill stop was another crowd rather than a line as they were taking big groups and another group had just left. Due to the wait for harnesses we were instructed to just hang out, so everyone mixed together for 30-45 minutes and made another big group. We arrived 3rd in that second big group of the day and tried to stay near the front. If you are at the end of the line walking up the trail, your wait will be much longer. As soon as you finish the Sentry Hill lines, you can walk down the path to take off the harness and move to the next gondola. Gondola to the Flying Dutchman was peaceful and the lookout at the top was phenomenal. Luckily we read to get our name on the list asap, which we did. Head toward the mountain top bar and music, there was an employee with a clip board. After which, we took a few minutes to make a bio-break and take some photos only to realize we had missed our turn in the line. Once we entered the last line we waited 1.5 hours for the final zip. There are 4 lines going down with zipping done in pairs, about 35 seconds per ride, but about a 5 minute harness return time. The crew was professional and working as quickly as was safe, but were limited to about 45 riders per hour. Flying Dutchman was exhilarating with beautiful views! Once we made it to the bottom of the mountain, we spent a few minutes in the museum which was small, but full of great history. Luckily there were a few cabs left at 3:30pm and we made it back to the ship on time. Cab fare was $7pp each way. If you can go without any time pressure or a ship in port, that would be highly recommended. Line management recommendations: Sign at the entrance alerting to waiver and the need for wristbands; Better line markers at entrance: ropes with signs on the entrance as the lines spilled well out front of the building; Group numbers at Sentry Hill stop to keep some order; Sign or warning about final wait - A 1H from this point sign or give numbers and call them out with 15 min to go. That would give people more time at the bar and the view. Overall a very beautiful and exhilarating day, but time pressure definitely detracted. If early departure, book through cruise ship for return guaranty and relax.

  • Ziplining!!!

    I had the best time! The first four little ones are a great warm up for the Flying Dutchman and the view while you’re up there is beautiful. I can’t wait to go again

  • Great experience, but be prepared to wait around a LOT.

    If your goal is to do the Dutchman, don't sign up for anything else. Go straight from the gondola to the Dutchman. We did Sentry Hill first on the 11 AM spot. By the time we got to the Dutchman, it was a 2 1/2 hour wait to do the zipline. So while we started at 11, we didn't get down the hill until 4:30 in the afternoon. There's no food at the top, only a bar with zero snacks. So also highly recommend you bring snacks, drinks, gatorade - whatever you can comfortably carry in a small backpack. Several of our group, and other groups left without doing the Dutchman because of the wait, and there are no refunds. Sentry HIll was a nice warm up, and if you are good to spend your whole day there, go for it. Just know what to expect - it is not a 3 hour activity! People who did the intertubes liked those as well (we had plenty of time to chat with our fellow travelers for the Dutchman - we were in the line for an hour and a half. Sign up/get on the list as soon as you get the top (something else they didn't tell us) so we killed about an hour in the bar/shade/etc waiting to get called to stand in line. Also, it opens at 11, but recommend you get there at 10:30 and that you have your waivers signed and ready to go. This might minimize time standing in lines.

    My wife and I brought our two daughters and while my wife and oldest daughter ziplined, my younger daughter and I explored the museum. She enjoyed the looking at the iguanas on the grounds. We will certainly return on our next visit to the island.

  • We were happy overall with this experience.

    We enjoyed this adventure. We were disappointed in the tube ride as it was slow and we even stopped while in route. The line was really long for the Dutchman, however, the process was really good.
