The Caribbean’s Hidden Gem
*does not include international travel days
One spot left!
Tucked between St. Kitts and St. Barths lies St. Eustatius, or “Statia,” a quiet Dutch island where history, nature, and diving come together in one unforgettable experience.
This trip offers something rare in the Caribbean: peaceful reefs, uncrowded dive sites, and a genuine sense of place. You will spend a week at Golden Rock Dive & Nature Resort, surrounded by gardens, ocean views, and the island’s signature landmark, the Quill Volcano.

Underwater, you will dive with Scubaqua Dive Center, one of the most respected operators in the region. Their team knows these reefs inside and out, guiding you through historic wrecks, lava flows, and coral gardens that thrive within the island’s protected Marine Park and Yarari Shark Sanctuary.

Unspoiled & Uncrowded

Rich History
17th-century trading port ruins and quiet Dutch colonial streets
