Ecotourism & adventure in Saba

The island of Saba is a fine example of eco-tourism in action. Tourism is comparatively new to Saba, as the airport opened in 1963, and the pier was completed in 1972. Being a small and only remote, few travellers visited before the 70's and found Saba to be a truly “Unspoiled Paradise”.


This small haven has many cherish able place to dwell and indulge in, following is the list of the some activities and things to do, one can indulge in.

Nature trails & walks

The nature trails with the support of the government and locals are adequately marked and maintained for easy trekking. Some trails need a guide, all the better to fully appreciate the botanical and historical parts of Saba. Everyone can easily hike over and into Saba's rain forest, tide pools, historic ruins, and rich nature wonderland. Even a walk along Saba's winding road will lead you to a magical view, and a memorable vacation.


Bird watching

Saba is one of the best places to watch tropical birds. Red-billed Tropicbird is among the most interesting example of such. Saba's dramatic cliff sides and lack of coastal development make Saba not only a great place to study birds but a key nesting area to keep the species from becoming endangered. Saba provides interesting bird watching to tourist and locals alike.

 


Climbing

One of the many wonders Saba has to offer includes Bouldering and Rock Climbing. Saba's geology equates to a rock climbers nirvana. If you've been to Saba you know this volcanic wonder without beaches is home to dramatic drop-offs that make for fantastic diving. Topside, outcroppings and boulders are within easy access from the many groomed hiking trails and in some cases, right on hotel properties.
