Top 10 Things to do in Saba, Saba
Those looking for the typical Caribbean tourist experience - drinking, gambling, beaches - will want to stick to next-door neighbor St. Maarten. But for a remote escape known for ecotourism, including hikes, climbs and spectacular dives, Saba delivers. The smallest island (five square miles) in the Netherlands Antilles, Saba is primarily a dormant volcano covered in rain forest. A single road (aptly named "The Road") takes visitors to quaint villages, where you can purchase the traditional Saba lace.

Had a wonderful week of scuba diving in the Saba marine park. We were able to experience the various dive sites from the live aboard Caribbean Explorer II. We were fortunate to have calm seas and currents and experienced the pinnacle dives, diamond rock, tent reef and many more sites. We saw several sea turtles on all dives, numerous jumbo lobster, plentiful fish, rays and reef sharks. Visibility was outstanding, reefs we're beautiful, couldn't ask for a better dive vacation! The crew members made the trip even better. Diving with Kirsten, Tino and Sarah was a great. Julian made delicious food all week and captain Bob was super friendly.

At 3,000 feet, Mount Scenery is the highest point on the mountainous island of Saba and can be reached via a difficult hike through the rainforest.

The trail up Mount Scenery consists of packed dirt and carved stone steps. No two steps are the same height or width. If it has been rainy at all, chances are the steps are slick. A walking stick or pole is helpful (walking sticks are usually available at the little trailhead building). Once close to the top, I felt like I was in a scene from Jurassic Park: huge tree ferns, dense green foliage, rugged rock outcroppings, all partially obscured by swirling mist. And if you are fortunate to be there when the mist lifts, fabulous views of the island.

Windwardside is a beautiful town. Over looking the ocean with an amazing view of Mount Scenery, good accommodation options and many great restaurants. We loved our stay there. For divers, Sea Saba is a great shop, helped us set everything up from tours to diving and dinner reservations. One of the friendliest places we have ever been. 100% recommend visiting Saba.

While touring Saba this was a wonderful place to stop. Upon entering you are greeted by Rene who inherited the elaborate collection from his Dutch family. It consists of furniture, art, religious relics, and more. This relatively small collection is brought to life by his extensive knowledge and personal connection with each display. The beautiful Dutch Tiles in the collection date back to the 1600s. Over all this museum was definitely worthwhile and thank you Rene for the tour!
