If you’ve never heard about these small, undiscovered islands in the Caribbean, it’s only because they are a well-kept secret. Unaffected by mass tourism, St. Eustatius & Saba are not your average Caribbean islands. Imagine the Caribbean about 25 or 30 years ago; the reefs surrounding St. Eustatius & Saba are flourishing in a protected marine park.

Underwater you will experience what much of the Caribbean must have looked like many years ago. The eye-catching volcano “the Quill” dominates the island with its impressive crater
and is responsible for the huge amount of lava flows and blocks under the surface. These old labyrinths of lava are now fully overgrown with coral and sponges. Combine these reefs with numerous of historical dive sites and more recent sunk wrecks and you got yourself a divers paradise!

The island of Saba is a volcanic island that rises majestically from her clear azure waters. She is like no other Caribbean destination. Untouched by the quickening pace of the modern world, an island caught within a moment. The old Caribbean; safe, friendly and charming with exquisite natural beauty both above and below her waterline.

Saba has a marine protected area around the whole island. That means that fishing and tourism is regulated. The sea life and the coral is therefore in great shape, abundant & thriving! The superb location of Juliana’s Hotel makes it a perfect launch point for discovering some of Caribbean’s best kept secrets.
