Hiking the Mount Scenery Trail - Saba, Dutch Caribbean
Come with us as we hike The Mount Scenery Trail, one of Saba Island's most popular hikes. With great views and a stout, but relatively short hike, this trail is a popular day-trip from St. Martin as well as a highlight of many longer visits to this Dutch island.
Learning to Travel, is a travel video & social media company formed by Joyce & Daryle Dickens to help others identify and realize their dreams of “traveling more”. After years of “traveling more” talk with too little action, we finally went all-in on a life-changing 14-month journey to 23 countries and 23 US states. Since then, we’ve heard far too many people say “I wish I could do that” which has made us realize that most people need a little push to believe their travel dreams are possible and a little guidance to turn those dreams into reality. That inspiration and guidance is what is all about.

Hiking Saba Island | Spring Bay - Kelbey's Ridge Trails
The Spring Bay - Kelbey's Ridge Trail on the Caribbean island of Saba has amazing views of the island, airport and nearby islands as well as a close-up introduction to the poisonous Manchineel Tree. We hiked one-way from English Quarter down to the airport and grabbed a taxi back home. A short additional walk to the Tide Pools at Flat Point is a worthwhile addition.

Jaunt to Saba
My friend, Nan, and I went down to Saba last year (2/2008) for my birthday! She set up a free flight via some buddy passes on USAir, and away we went. We stayed at Scout's on Saba, and had some great dives thru their dive shop.
Most of these shots are from the flight, around the island, and on the dive boat. The first road was completed only a few decades ago, given the steepness of the topography. Prior to the road's opening,all the goods were placed on pack mules and carried up from the docks via a 300 step staircase on the Northwest shore. The first car on the island had to be carried up from the docks and assembled at the top of the cliffs. The runway is also an adventure, being one of the world's shortest. Only slightly longer than an air craft carrier, the runaway is guarded on 3 sides by tremendous rocky cliffs buffeted by the heavy surf that always assails the windward side of the island. Only pilots qualified to fly STAL planes are authorized to land. STAL is aviator lingo for Short Take Off and Landing and not a little bit ironic, since you certainly don't wish to stall during approach or take off.
Five square miles in area, there are three climates, arid, temperate, and rain forest, as you climb up towards the summit of the island, a 3000' volcano cone.
Originally settled by the Scots, one can only imagine the mindset of the original settlers. Look at all these wonderful flat islands all about the Caribbean! Each has fresh water, arable land, sandy beaches, and lovely weather. Lo! What's that? A dark foreboding rock 3000' tall, with cliffs all around, one well at the bottom of a steep mile long trail, no beaches, crashing waves, grey clouds, and rain that goes sideways! Let's live there!
Yes, no doubt, it was yet another brilliant idea hatched after a binge of grog drinking.
These days, there are roads, a medical school that specializes in hyperbaric medicine, which I have personally benefitted from having been bent on Saba, internet, good lodging, quiet peaceful environment, and zero crime. The only drawback is that it is NOT a party island, and there is a rather high cost of living with very few jobs on the island. But Sabans are travelers, accustomed to earning their living on the high seas, trading around the world.
El Momo Cottages Video Tour
El Momo is charming, earth-kind, quiet and rather Robinson Crusoe like. A little piece of paradise where time moves slowly and the stress of the modern world is far, far away...
Experience the busy hummingbirds as they fly from flower to flower, the little black dotted Saban lizard puffing its yellow chest and the whistling tree frogs in the star filled night. You're always guaranteed a breathtaking ocean view and, from October to March, even fantastic ocean sunsets. African Tulip trees provide natural shade for the cozy pool and lounge area during the day.
An eco-friendly philosophy complements the beautiful natural environment and keeps tourists' footprints small. El Momo faces south-west, so sunshine is provided all day long and the hill behind shelters you from the wind. The hotel is a tranquil haven where a maximum of 16 guests rest and enjoy nature at its best.
An ideal choice for groups and single travelers alike, you'd be hard pushed to find a better value location on Saba, or for that matter, within the Caribbean.
El Momo is located on quiet Booby Hill which is only a 5 minute walk to the tiny village of Windwardside, where you can find a post office, bank (ATM), souvenir shops, internet cafe, grocery stores, dive shops, museum, art gallery, trail shop, tourist office, spa and some great restaurants. Jobean's Glass Art Studio is just below El Momo, so not even a minute away.
