Top Reasons to Go

Diving—particularly to its modern and archaeological wrecks—is a highlight in Statia's protected waters.

Hiking the Quill, an extinct volcano that holds a primeval rain forest, is the top activity for landlubbers.

When you're not diving, you'll be overwhelmed by the genuine friendliness of the people.

For anyone interested in 18th-century history, even a day-trip from St. Maarten is a very satisfying experience.
