Now that you have found the most comprehensive website for Saba, let us help you choose the ideal place to stay, addressing what is important to you.  Sea Saba has no financial interest in any property. We focus on providing you pertinent information to help you in your decision making for your well-deserved vacation. We understand that when you're in the mood to plan your trip, you want good information and answers to your specific questions in a timely manner.  Sea Saba's office is open every day from 7:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.--more often than not, with extended hours in order to service you.  One email and you will be on your way to making your Saba trip a reality--pricing, availability and objective advice--just give us an idea of what you're looking for.  We pride ourselves on prompt, efficient email responses--and of course, we're also available for phone calls.  So let's get started! 

Whether you're an avid diver or coming to Saba for other reasons, we make it easy to plan your Saba trip.  Once you have decided on where to stay, we will email (or fax) you our Official Confirmation form that provides you two payment options--sending a personal check to our U.S. banker or guaranteeing with a credit card--easy!                                                                                                                                                                      

Packages Rates:  No one likes hidden costs or surprise fees.  Sea Saba offers pre-booked packages with best pricing including: transportation to and from the airport; daily transfers for diving (to and from the harbor wherever you are staying); accommodations; the government's hotel/room tax; and of course diving!  Email Lynn for our complete list of packages--if you have an idea of your 'travel window' and where you would like to stay, we will be pleased to provide more precise information.  Diver and Non-Diver rates will be shown for each property.  While our basic packages are quoted at two dives per day, our boats offer third dives daily (we'll go out for just one diver or two snorkelers!) and night dives upon request--minimum 4 divers.  Our package rates generally leave a day open for exploring Saba on land but just tell us how many days of diving you want and we will tailor any package to meet your own in-water requirements.  Saba Marine Park fees ($4/dive) are not included in any price quote but are paid on Saba.  Most hotels will assess the $1/person/night Saba Conservation fee to your bill on Saba; private house rates include this fee.
