Statia is an arid island with a valley between two mountain peaks. Most sights lie in the valley, making touring the island easy. From the airport you can walk, rent a car or scooter, or take a taxi and be in historic Oranjestad in minutes; to hike the Quill, Statia's highest peak, you can drive to the trailhead in less than 15 minutes from just about anywhere. Golden Rock area trails with breathtaking views include those at Boven (450 feet elevation), Gilboa (400 feet), and Venus Bay, which are accessible near Zeelandia Beach.
Also known as the Lynch Plantation Museum, the two one-room buildings are replicas of the Berkel family's homes; they were built in honor of the matriarch's 100th birthday. The plantation provides an interesting perspective of life on Statia a century ago, when residents lived off the land. The remarkable collection includes family pictures, eyeglasses, original furnishings, and farming and fishing implements. Call Ismael Berkel to arrange a private tour. Since it's on the northeast side of the island, you'll need a taxi or car to get here.
Relaxation and quiet abound on these 52 acres, with a greenhouse, a palm garden, a kitchen garden, and an observation bird and nature trail. Its location, on the Atlantic side of the Quill on an old plantation called Upper Company, reveals a superb view of St. Kitts. For a picnic, there's no better place; but the only way to get here is by car or taxi, and some of the road is not well-paved.
