Hiking on Saba
One of the best ways to discover peaceful, unspoiled Saba is through its more than 20 well-maintained hiking trails, loved by novice hikers and experienced hikers alike. You will hike through a variety of landscapes, from tropical rainforests and misty cloud forests to rugged coastlines with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea. Nature changes remarkably with elevation and precipitation, so you'll walk through multiple ecosystems during one hike: dense vegetation near the summit, lush rainforests halfway up and drier zones closer to the coast.
