Hi Rhonda, Yes kids can go accompanied by an adult if they fall within the height ranges. This page has all the info and you could reach out directly with more questions: rainforestadventure.com/package/the-big-three-full-experience/ Hope that helps 😃
Hello, your video came up on my recommended list, right after mines (Wohoo!!) very nice video. I just recently went up there and made a video for my channel, from my perspective and i must say it is beautiful, words cannot described it, you really would have to do it yourself. Thank you for sharing a piece of St. Maarten our beautiful island!
Hello-we are going in Aug. Can I ask a "post ride" logistics question? Did you go back up after the the Flying Dutchman or stay below? I ask because my son (10) LOVES this stuff--and sorry to say, I have a fear of heights that don't make this zip line the best fit for me. I'd like to think out if he can do this and I can get back done in a different manner that doesn't leave him among strangers. (I've done chair lifts, so not worried about that part). Any additional logistical insight is appreciated!
The Flying Dutchman zipline is last so after we went we stayed below. We did see some people going down on the chairlifts so that might be an option. Go all the way up with your son and then let him take the zipline down and you take the chairlift down. I'm terrified of heights, but I'm so glad I did this one. It was so fun. Have a great trip!
theres another excursion without the tube ride....but you still get to do the flying dutchman. Is the tube ride worth the extra money? or not necessary? We will also be going to a water park too
We really enjoyed the tube ride. It goes way faster than we thought it would. If I did this again, I would do the tube ride. With that said, if you are hitting a water park too, you will be getting in similar rides, so I guess it depends on your budget and time.
@@odom7015 thank you. I just brought a GoPro this week and I’m learning how to use it and I’m trying to research what are the best accessories to use for such an excursion as this one.
Hi guys. This looks awesome. My wife and I are going on a cruise in June and St. Marteen is one of our stops. How long did it take you guys to complete this excursion?
Hey Edwin, the excursion is advertised as about 6 hours. Basically from about 7am to 1pm. Depending on how things go, I think 2pm would be the latest. After we finished the excursion and got dropped off back at the port, we had plenty of time to take a taxi to the other side of the island, hang out at the beach for a few hours and get back to get back on the cruise ship. This was our favorite excursion. It is totally worth it. When we go back, we want to do it again it was that good! Hope you have a great time on your cruise!
Yes, the first second or two feels like you are going to freefall, but then it levels off and it's so much fun. I'm excited for you. Have a great time!
Hi Eduardo, they allowed us to bring our GoPro when we went. Everything else we put in our locker that we rented. I don't know if they have changed that policy since we went, but it was so fun! I would recommend a wrist strap so you don't drop it on the zip lines. Hope that helps. 😀
We did the morning excursion. We finished about 12 pm, but our bus back to the ship didn't leave until 1pm. We got back to the ship around 1:45 pm, which gave us time to hit a beach before we got back on the cruise ship. Hope that helps.
@@JordanOutside thanks for the reply and yes that works have been exactly what I needed to know but I've since found out that they no longer allow cameras on, so I've scratched this one from our list. Anything I'm going to spend about $350 on and then be forced to buy their overpriced pics, no thanks.
@@JordanOutside I can't find anything official on their website but on other videos of this excursion people reported not being able to use them. I asked another youtuber about his video and he did state he had to get special permission to be able to use his camera for his Vlog. It seems par for the course to me though as many of these operators want you to buy their very overpriced pictures.
Hey you guys I LOVE IT and can't wait we're doing The Big 3 on Nov 12 in just a few short weeks on The Pride and our first Journey's cruise ! This will also be our first time doing a zip-line and OMG Excited !!! So I saw you said you could do the tube's twice are the zip-lines all 5 only once ? And was it an issue holding your camera ? I saw on the actual Flying Dutchman website you aren't allowed to hold anything...?
Hey Shelly, I'm so excited for you. It was so amazing! Yes, we did the tubes twice. The regular zip lines that go back and forth across the canyon you only do once. Then for the flying dutchman you only do that once. You aren't allowed to bring a backpack or anything else, but they did let me carry me GoPro Hero 7 Black on a GoPro 3-way grip. Just make sure you have a wrist strap from your grip that goes around your wrist so if you did drop it, you wouldn't lose it. They have lockers there that you have to pay for to store your backpack and anything else you bring.
@@JordanOutside as long as it's still not an issue to take a camera (GoPro my Bf will have and I'll do my small Fuji) I'll be posting video myself once we get home. :-)
This was $130 per person through Carnival Cruise Lines. www.carnival.com/shore-excursions/st-maarten-na/the-big3-flying-dutchman-schooner-ride-and-cano-433105
I have two kids ages 7 and 9..would they let them do this?? What are the weight and height requirements? Thank you!

what is the weight limit?
According to the Website, the max weight limit is 275 pounds. rainforestadventure.com/package/flying-dutchman/

I booked this excursion. I’m guessing you used a go pro camera?. What accessory did you use to hold it while zip lining?.
Yes, I used my GoPro. I had it on a 3-way stick with a wrist strap so in case I dropped it, I wouldn't lose it.

Awesome thank you, we are doing it in a week
I'm so excited for you. You're going to love it 😃
@@JordanOutside how did you get from the ship to where this is at?
@@clintkeele1415 We booked this through Carnival Cruise Lines and they provided a bus to get there and back.
Awesome video! What time did you guys finish this tour?
Thank you. We were there for about 3 hours. We left around 2pm.
@@JordanOutside appreciate it just trying to see if we could do Maho Beach after that and be back to the boat in time. keep exploring! 🙂
Does it feel like your dropping on the flying dutchman or does it feel like a normal zipline ride? Thank you
The first initial drop you feel like your dropping, but then it feels like a normal zip line most of the way down. It was sooo fun!
Hi, I'm going next week! It looks really steep...do you get butterflies from the drop?
Yes, the first second or two feels like you are going to freefall, but then it levels off and it's so much fun. I'm excited for you. Have a great time!
Great video! I appreciate you sharing this. Do you by chance know if you are allowed to bring a camera on the ziplines?

@@JordanOutside thank you my friend!
We went up there a couple weeks ago, and you’re not allowed to use any type of recording device anymore
What cruise line where you on ? Did you book this threw the cruise line .
Hey William, we were on Carnival Cruise Lines and we booked through them.
i been hearing so much about this zipline and it’s too slow for me and I’m kind of disappointed and how much does this excursion cost and thanks ?
Hi Dave, The website shows $119 per person. rainforestadventure.com/st-maarten-top-attractions-zipline-sky-explorer-schooner/ Hope that helps 😃
@@JordanOutside ok thanks
How long did it take yall to do all this? Looking for stuff to do with my kids and still be able to fit in a walk through town for me.

I see you guys on that zipline
how much does this cost

Kind of crazy where is your helmet
ha ha, it was so fun. They made us wear helmets on the regular zip lines, but not on the biggest one which seems crazy, but everything went great.
Must be nice. The guy told me I couldn't use my Go Pro and looks like they allowed you all to use your cell phones.
That stinks! All of this footage was taken with my GoPro. They must have changed their policy.
glad you posted this. A lot of attractions won't allow you to film because they want you to buy their overpriced pics. If I can't film I won't go.
@@Kilroy238_ yes! I still didn’t pay for the pictures :)
I’d probably shit myself I hate heights
Ha Ha, it's pretty high up! 😀
Did your wife ask for hers to go slower on the Flying Dutchman?! I wanna try this but honestly terrified at the speed ziplines normally go 😂😂😂🫣
Ha ha Jessica, my wife actually wanted hers to go faster but the speed is based on your weight. The heavier people, like me, harness gravity faster 😂
