While Saba rises from Caribbean depths rather than alpine shores, families discover liquid wonders in this vertical island’s unexpected pools. The Sandy Cruz Trail leads young explorers to tide pools where sergeant majors dart through volcanic formations—pack reef shoes from Island Store (€15) for scrambling over ancient lava channels where Atlantic swells create natural jacuzzis.

At Wells Bay’s protected shallows, Captain Mike’s family snorkel tours (€30/child) reveal parrotfish nurseries in crystalline pools barely knee-deep, perfect for nervous swimmers. His daughter Sophia, age eight, guides younger guests to “secret” hermit crab races beside the old salt collectors’ ruins.

Book Juliana’s Cottages in Windwardside (€120/night), where rainwater cisterns transformed into plunge pools offer mountain-cooled refreshment after hiking Mt. Scenery’s 1,064 steps. Their Thursday family dinners feature “Saba Splash”—local fisherman Croton’s catch served poolside while children chase fireflies through breadfruit groves.

The Ladder Bay stairs—800 hand-carved steps descending to azure depths—challenge older children while revealing rainbow pools in the rocks where Sabans once gathered sea salt. At bottom, reward brave descendants with Mary’s homemade soursop ice cream (€4) from her harbor shack. Remember: Wednesday’s supply boat brings fresh provisions—plan market visits accordingly.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
