Things To Do In
Saba
Saba is a beautiful gem in the Caribbean Sea. Therefore it is naturally home to a stunning tropical landscape and reef system. Tourists can find a plethora of things to do on the island. Of course, Saba’s surrounding reef system, which is protected by Saba National Marine Park, is the first thing tourists usually visit when they arrive. The reef is one of the most inspiring underwater environments in the Caribbean Sea, with scuba diving, unsurprisingly, one of Saba’s premier tourist activities.
The island’s beauty also extends away from the water. The green landscape, which is filled with rolling hills and clouded summits, is the perfect place for hiking. Tourists with a sense of adventure can find a number of trekking paths across Saba. Novices, experts, and every hiker in between will enjoy a few days’ hiking on Saba.

From the spacious covered wooden verandah, that spans the length of the cottage, you overlook 180 degrees of undulating tropical vegetation, the Road as it snakes down the mountain and the charming traditional red roofed houses and buildings of The Bottom, Saba’s capital. Beyond, set between two hills that frame the Bottom, the mesmerizing view continues, filled with a wide expanse of turquoise Caribbean Sea, endless blue sky and billowing white trade wind clouds. Sailing ships peacefully glide by on their way to the outer islands. It is like a magical painting from sunrise to sunset.
