Has anyone visited Saba

[SMB]

I know the cruise ships do not go there, but has anyone visited Saba from St. Maarten?

bumping this up so maybe SMB can get a response.

Thanks for the bump, Cheryl, but I was not expecting many posts. I think Saba may be too far off the radar for most people. That makes me want to go all the more!

You're welcome , SMB. I've never heard of it and would be interested to know a little something about it.

We haven't but hubby sure wants to. He wants to land on the island, which scares me to death.

I'm with your husband, Seabeacon. I think a flight there wuld be amazing. I the diving/snorkling is suppose to be some of the best in the world! The Island is the tip of a giant volcano. The slopes are almost sheer drops. Another trivia fact - the governor of Saba was the first foreign official to recognize the United States as a sovereign nation.

Here are a picture I found on the web. Notice the runway!
