The Public Entity Saba is committed to promoting safe and responsible hiking for both residents and visitors. As part of this commitment, we highlight best practices while exploring and enjoying the island’s natural beauty.
Safety First
Your safety and the safety of those with you is the top priority. Always be prepared and plan accordingly before setting out.
Take Responsibility
Use the buddy system: Never hike alone.
Inform someone of your plans and expected return time.

Do not camp just anywhere. Choose your location carefully with respect to both your safety and the surrounding environment.
You must obtain permission from landowners before camping on private property.
Take proper precautions to ensure you leave no trace and preserve Saba’s natural beauty.
