We've done the trip both by air and sea, and the Edge lived up to it's nickname The Vomit Comet for sure. Enjoyed the trip by air very much..as a previous poster stated, the landing alone is worth the price of admission. Our flight had a stop in Statia on the way, so we got to experience 2 short runway landings. Lucky enough to grab the front row on the flight, so on an Otter, we were able to look out the windshield right between the pilots. It literally looks like you're about to land on a carrier. The Otter didn't even need half the runway. Did the island by taxi, and got a great narrated tour. Spent the night at the Queen's Garden, in room hot tub with a mountain view. Highly recommend. If you're reasonably fit, the walk up the carved steps to the rain forest is amazing.
