Named the 'Unspoiled Queen', Saba is an eco paradise and quite the getaway for avid divers, hikers and nature enthusiasts. She is as beautiful on top as she is underneath. The journey is 75-90 minutes, and docks in Fort Bay, the only proper access to the sea on Saba. Saba is sheer cliffs on all sides, and even the old slave path still remains where goods were offloaded for transport to the villages by donkey.

We sent 8 teenagers on the boat to Saba Island. They had a great time. The Island was good and shopping was available. No swimming in this trip though.

Scuba Steve and Aqua Mania took us out for 2 dives in the beautiful waters surrounding St Maarten. They were considerate of the varying skill levels of the 6 of us diving that day and made sure no one was stressed or uncomfortable. We some beautiful coral, sharks, rays, the biggest barracuda I’ve ever seen and so many colorful fish. My husband and I had a good time and felt very safe with them.

Helaas ruim 50 min vertrokken dan gepland en moesten eerst nog wat mensen wegbrengen. Dus de echte tour startte om 12 uur pas, dus eigenlijk maar 3 uur incl lunch.
Maar geweldige eerste indruk van Saba, dank aan de geweldige chauffeur. Heerlijk gewandeld en lunch was heerlijk. Ruwe zee die dag, heel veel mensen zeeziek. Volgende keer wel met het vliegtuig. Maar Saba is zo idylisch en vredig!
