Saba travel safety advice
Saba offers a wide array of trails on which to hike, but know how good a hiker you are before choosing a trail. Some trails can be treacherous, and some hikes very difficult. If you don't go prepared to hike, stick to the easier paths. Beware of slippery moss, mud, and the occasional steep section. A walking stick is a tremendous help in making safe descents down the steep paths, particularly the trails leading to the coast.
As for street crime, Saba is one of the safest places in the world & on par with St. Barthelemy with respect to personal safety. This is mainly due to the small population on the island which is exceptionally friendly to tourists as they are the island's sole source of income. You can walk any part of the island at day or night without having to worry about your safety.
Saba is so safe that hotels do not have locks on their doors.
The usual safety precautions are required while diving. A hyperbaric chamber is available at the Saba National Marine Park at the Fort Bay Harbour and is maintained by the Saba Conservation Foundation.
It is not recommended to enter into the sulphur mine (specially not alone) as the high concentrations of sulphur in the air can make you unconscious within seconds and a prompt rescue would be logically impossible.
