Top Reasons to Go

Diving: Divers flock to Saba because of the clear water and spectacular ocean life.

Hiking: Hikers can climb the island's pinnacle, Mt. Scenery, but the less intense trails offer many sweeping vistas as well.

Authenticity: Saba reminds you of what nearly all of the Caribbean used to be: the locals are genuine, and tourist traps are just about nonexistent.

Ecotourism: Several hotels cater to ecotourists, with resident nature pros who can tell you everything about local flora and fauna.

Quirkiness: On this unusual island, the airport landing and "the Road" are thrill rides, Wells Bay beach disappears at the end of every summer, and the Bottom is not on the bottom.
