Rules in force · 7Steep lanes and uneven paving in the Upper Town
- Sint Eustatius ↗Entry follows Dutch rules for the Caribbean Netherlands, which differ from Schengen rules: check official Dutch government sources for your passport.
- Sint Eustatius ↗The waters around the island are a national marine park: dive with licensed operators and follow park rules and fees.
- Sint Eustatius ↗Most visitors connect through Sint Maarten: book with enough time between flights and a buffer night on the way home.
- Oranjestad area (Sint Eustatius) ↗Hurricane season (Jun–Nov, peak Aug–Oct): book flexible fares and insurance, and do not plan a tight connection home.
- Oranjestad ↗Steep lanes and uneven paving in the Upper Town: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Oranjestad ↗The ruins are protected: do not climb walls or take stones, shells or artefacts from the ruins or the beach.
- Oranjestad ↗Climb The Quill in the morning with water and grip shoes; the crater trail is steep and slippery after rain.
