Trails can vary in intensity and variety with options to hike the islands cloud forest, tide pools, historic ruins, and rich natural wonderland. Day visitors can hike to the top of Mt.

To capture the local spirit, two uniquely Saban specialties are on the itinerary. First is tasting the islands secret recipe of herbs and spices in the blended run-based liqueur Saba Spice. Next is Saba Lace, the distinctive needlecraft painstakingly created by the industrious women of Saba for the past century. You can visit the lace room located in Windwardside to view these spectacular pieces of art. Visitors can catch this living culture each Thursday when the “Lace Ladies” convene to create their craft from 3-5pm.

A part of Saban’s hidden treasure is its long tradition as an inspiration and muse for the colony of artists that live and create here. From jewelry and glass making to tie-dye and textiles, art is expressed in all forms on Saba. It is also home to visual artists whose photography and paintings can be found throughout the island and beyond its shores. Visitors with a penchant for the arts can spend times creating alongside the artists with a range of workshops and classes. So get inspired.

Visitors can choose to spend the day discovering one of the top dive spots in the world, the island offers interesting diving for every experience level. Surrounding the island underwater is the Saba Marine Park, one of the most prolific underwater spawning grounds for brilliantly colored fish, lobster, turtles, sharks, corals and more.
