St. Maarten Zoological Park St. Maarten Zoological Park is the largest park of its kind in the Caribbean and has a large variety of birds and animals, many of which are found locally. As many of the Macaws, Parrots and other birds fly freely around the park, you may make some friends if you bought some of the food available for them at the entrance to the park. © St Maarten Zoological Park Zip-Line Zip-lines are becoming popular attractions all around the world and on St Maarten this adrenalin rush is provided by Fly Zone Xtreme whose zip- line is located at Loterie Farm just below Pic Paradis, St Maarten’s highest point.

The air tanks are left on a raft and you are tethered to a qualified ‘buddy’. This gives anybody the opportunity to sample the joys of diving down to 20ft which can include exploring a shipwreck.
