D and C,

We've done both day trips and stay-overs. When we did our day trip we booked it through our activities director at our resort so depending on where you're staying, that would be my first suggestion if you're staying in a hotel situation. If not, you could probably do the same trip on your own.

Our day was a ride over on the Edge where, upon arrival, we were met by a taxi/van driver who escorted us for the day. He took us through the highlights, allowing for sight-seeing for some and hiking time for others in the group. We lunched at the Queens Garden Inn - which I highly recommend - and finished up our day at the boat dock for the trip home. I'd be willing to bet someone could hook you up with a similar tour but via the airport.

On that first trip, it was a packaged tour that included the Edge which one of us enjoyed and the other three - not so much, but on a subsequent trip we flew and it was pretty cool, too, and for sure, it would allow more time for photo ops and exploring. The little museum is worth a walk through and for sure, a drive through their hydroponic garden is a must do.

Saba is incredibly beautiful and if you're looking for a place to get away from everything and just chill, this is one very beautiful place to do it. We liked it so much on that first visit that we ultimately booked a three night stay over at the Queens Garden. Since then, several friends have done it and loved it, too, but IMHO, three nights was really one more than we needed and next time we go, I think I'd prefer an early morning flight in, a two night stay and then passage back on the Edge. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
