Diving in this region offers a mix of dramatic underwater landscapes, intriguing marine life, and historic wrecks.

Just across the channel, the dive sites of St. Kitts provide a variety of underwater scenery, from gently sloping reefs to spur-and-groove formations, with shipwrecks now serving as habitats for lobster, stingrays, and barracuda. With up to five dives per day, this itinerary offers a mix of exploration and adventure in the heart of the Caribbean.

Stroll through Saba’s Windwardside Village, where red-roofed cottages and lush mountain views create a picture-perfect setting.
