Should You Visit St. Eustatius? - Watch This and Find Out.

Nicknamed the Golden Rock because of its history as a free port in the Caribbean and all the riches that passed through its port, St. Eustatius today is more than the sleepy little island most portray it to be. You can definitely do some relaxing but you can also hike a dormant volcano, enjoy great food and wine, explore historic monuments, relax on black sand beaches, discover an amazing underwater world, and stay at great accommodations, from budget-friendly and locally owned B and B's to a luxury resort and everything in between.

CORRECTION: the ruins in this video are NOT of a holding space for slaves but a warehouse for goods according to a volunteer at SECAR, St Eustatius Center for Archeologic Research

CARIBBEAN VLOG: Statia / St. Eustatius - flying with the tiniest airplane & exploring nature heaven

My first stop on my Caribbean solo tip is St. Eustatius, also called Statia, located in the Dutch Caribbean of the Lesser Antilles for 10 days.
In this video, I show you around and things to do at St. Eustatius in Oranjestad, Statia's capital. We visit Oranjestad, the Bay Area, Fort Oranje, and Fort de Windts.

Welcome to an enchanting adventure in the heart of the Caribbean as we explore the captivating Dutch Caribbean island of St. Eustatius, affectionately known as Statia. Join us on this journey as we uncover the island's hidden treasures, soak in its rich history, and revel in its natural beauty.

✨ Oranjestad Exploration: Begin your exploration in Oranjestad, the charming capital of St. Eustatius. Wander through its quaint streets, savor delicious local cuisine at restaurants, and take in the picturesque views along the Caribbean Sea.

✨ Fort Oranje: Discover the historical significance of Fort Oranje, an iconic landmark perched atop a hill. Learn about its role in the island's history and enjoy stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

✨ Fort de Windt: Journey to Fort de Windt, a windswept viewpoint offering breathtaking vistas of the Caribbean island of St. Kitts. Traverse through awe-inspiring natural landscapes to reach this stunning location.

St. Eustatius, or Statia, is a hidden Caribbean gem often overlooked by travelers. With its pristine beaches, lush mountains, and rich historical sites, this tiny island boasts an array of natural and cultural wonders waiting to be explored. Experience the tranquility and beauty of St. Eustatius, where adventure, history, and natural splendor await.

To reach St. Eustatius, you can either embark on a boat or take an exhilarating flight from St. Maarten. In our journey, we chose the latter, and it was an unforgettable experience. Flying in a tiny plane allowed us to witness the beauty of the Caribbean from above and land on this captivating island.

Stay tuned for more captivating adventures as we continue our exploration of St. Eustatius and uncover its hidden treasures. Your Caribbean dream getaway awaits!

Take a Minute in Statia 005: Aerial view of Quill & Oranjestad, St. Eustatius, Caribbean Netherlands

Take a Minute in Statia 005 takes off the ground to show you a bird's eye perspective of the island. While we explored the Botanical Garden and the Bird Trail (see short descriptions of all trails in the Quill National Park below), Yoeri flew the drone up the Quill to capture this aerial overview. On the other side the dormant volcano, the capital Oranjestad, the only town of St. Eustatius (Caribbean Netherlands) with its harbour glides through the view.

Look around. Can you believe that this was once the busiest port in the whole world?

The Dutch began to colonise various Caribbean islands in the 1630s. Sint Maarten was the first to be colonised in 1631, Curaçao in 1634, Aruba, Bonaire and St. Eustatius followed in 1636, and Saba around 1640. On the SSS islands (Sint Maarten, Saba, and Statia), settlement started on the Caribbean side. The Atlantic Ocean to the East is much wilder than the Caribbean Sea.

Already a busy trading center within the region, Statia's economy really took off in 1756 after the Dutch declared the island a free port. Without any customs duties, Statia turned into a hub for all kinds of goods — legal and illegal. Statia offered neutral ground for business in the middle of British (Jamaica, St. Kitts, Barbados, Bermuda), French (Saint-Domingue, Sainte-Lucie, Martinique, Guadeloupe), Spanish (Cuba, Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico) and Danish (Virgin Islands) territories.

Neutrality and tax-free haven were the man-made reasons for Statia's golden era. Natural factors gave the island its blessing. Conveniently located between destinations, Statia was favourable as captains could make use of the trade winds bringing ships from the east towards this volcanic rock. Obviously, there are more islands around. However, Statia was the only one providing a natural harbour that is protected from the easterly winds and offers sandy anchoring at depths of 10 to 30 meters (33 to 99 feet) providing shelter also for the biggest boats of those times. With more than 3,000 ships per year, Statia was THE busiest port in the world and turning the island into the Golden Rock.

We love the history of the island, even though it is hard to imagine the level of activity of the Golden Rock of the past. These days, trade is passing by. A lot of things are hard to get to or overly expensive. The biggest employer on the island is the oil storage facility GTI followed by the government with more or less 350 employees. Tourism-related businesses count as the third largest section of the island economy today.

At the moment, we add to the tourism-related businesses as we are filming all the hiking to, up, in, and around the Quill National Park:

Each trail gets its own clip with additional snippets, photographs, and a blog entry to inform you about the route, difficulty, and highlights to keep an eye out for. This way, you can choose the trail that is offering just the right combination of relaxation and challenge for your mood and stamina.

We already wrote about the Quill in Take a Minute in Statia 001:Zeelandia Beach to Quill: In the caption of that video clip, you find also some more information on the recent history and developments on the island as well as the reasons for the economic downfall of the Golden Rock.

The aerial shot offers a great overview of the hiking possibilities within Quill National Park. There are nine trails to explore.
1) The Quill Trail brings you from the edge of town toward the crater rim
2) The Crater Trail leads inside the dormant volcano
3) The Panorama Point Trail goes up to the highest peak on the Northern side of the volcano
4) The Around the Mountain South goes off the Quill Trail along the Southern slopes until you reach a crossing down to the Botanical Garden.
5) The Around the Mountain North continues from there all along the side of the volcano (with many ups and downs) until it hits the Quill Trail again.
6) The Mazinga Trail brings hikers to the highest point of the volcano (601 metres).
7) The Historical Trail is a relatively short detour from the Quill Trail to explore some ruins.
8) The Couchar Trail serves as an entry and exit point to Around the Mountain North and can be used as a little loop for beginning hikers, families with small children, or dogs to explore the Quill without too much elevation.
9) The Bird Trail is the shortest. It starts in the Botanical Garden and loops a little way up through the bush and features some boards with explanations of the different bird species that can be found on the island.

Over the next months, we publish all clips in this playlist:

Get inspired and ready to hike!
