Tucked away in the Caribbean Sea, the five-square-mile island of Saba is arguably the region’s best-kept secret. Home to just four villages, a singular road that was dug out by a local with nothing but a shovel, pristine hiking trails, impeccable dive sites, breathtaking villas and locally-owned boutique hotels, the tiny but mighty island will take any well-traveled visitor by pleasant surprise. As the peak of a dormant volcano that pokes out from the ocean below, Saba appears to be just a speck on the map – but is packed with loads of unexpected character. The smallest commercial runway in the world? Check. A field of solar panels that powers the whole island for 8-10 hours per day? Check. A population of 2,000 family-like residents that welcome all visitors with open arms into their close-knit community? That’s Saba.

Guided Hike of Mt. Scenery
Fun fact: the highest point in the Netherlands is found right here in Saba! We are going to summit Mt. Scenery, an approximately 3-hour hike in total, a 1,015 stone-step hike. Due to the fact that the island has five eco-climates, ranging from desert to cloud forest, the steps can at times be muddy and slippery and at points are also quite steep. If anyone wants to opt out of hiking all the way to the top, this is of course optional!
