cushions on the ferry would have been very helpful. More airflow in the cabin.

They were punctual for the check in, I paid for the package for tour and lunch, and it was with a very nice gentleman from Saba, his name is Garvis. He explained a lot of history and show us the good spots from the island. Lunch was good at a nice restaurant. Boat ride was bumpy but it was tolerable. The crew were very nice and attentive. Saba is a very interesting place, it’s worthy exploring.

Full description

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. Edge ferries provide a regular schedule year round – Wed through to Sun each week. The journey is 75-90 minutes, and docks in Fort Bay, the only proper access to the sea on Saba.

Taxis meet the passengers at the boat and tour up into the island. First stop is a village called The Bottom, on up to Windwardside, where the trails start for hiking and tours continue over through Hells Gate with a look down to the airport, precariously balanced out on a lava overflow. Taxi tours are the only way to get up and into the island as the walk up from Fort Bay to The Bottom is vertical and strenuous. The views are spectacular. The hiking in Saba's rain forest is not to be missed with the main trail, Mt. Scenery, being the most popular.

Scuba Diving in Saba is world renowned. Many divers will ensure that a day trip to Saba is part of their dive vacation plan. All dive shops offer the highest standards of service and professionalism, and meet the divers as the ferry arrives.

Saba is very unspoiled and a refreshing change from the cosmopolitan hustle and bustle that St. Maarten and St. Barts provide.

We enjoyed the trip. Our guide has lived on Saba most of his life and was excited to share his knowledge of the history, the people, places of interest of Saba. Plenty of time to hike, shop, eat and relax. The return trip to St. Maarten was rough due to the turbulent ocean.
