Flights from Medicine Hat Airport, Medicine Hat

Located on the tiny island of Sint Eustatius in the Caribbean Netherlands, visitors who fly to F.D. Roosevelt Airport (EUX) will be treated to a true Caribbean experience without the crowds of more traveled islands. Relaxing, quiet beaches, hiking and dive sites make the area a destination for those who enjoy the outdoors and island life.

Attractions

You will be greeted by a quaint facility that serves as the doorway to a tropical island full of activities. Hikers will enjoy a trek up The Quill, a 602-meter high dormant volcano that calls the island home. Other options for hiking include The Crater and the Mazinga Trail. The Statia Carnival in late June treats visitors and locals alike to live music and local cuisine. Those looking to explore under the water have a wide range of dive sites to choose from. The warm waters and volcanic activity make an ideal environment to foster an amply diversified sea life, and the many shipwrecks always add variety to any dive.

Hints and tips

You can get to the island by connecting through St. Maarten on select airlines. While there is no rail or bus service on the island, you can rent cars through locally owned companies, and there is a taxi service. Pack your shorts and sundresses as you can expect comfortable weather around 85 degrees year-round.
