St Kitts / Things to do

Some of the best attractions and activities on St Kitts include:

Caribelle Batik, Romney Manor - A batik factory set in a very attractive former plantation estate house and ten acres of gardens on the leeward coast north-west of Basseterre.  See Art & Artisans

Horseback Riding, c/o Kantours - After orientation, helmet and saddle fitting, you set off on your guided trail ride through the rainforest or along the black sands of the Atlantic coast beach.
 
Kayaking Adventure, Blue Water Safaris - A half day trip with snorkelling in White House Bay, one of St Kitts’ secluded bays. Then you paddle along 2½ miles of the South East Peninsula in a self-bailing, sit-on-top, ocean kayak. You will see nesting sea birds, monkeys and maybe turtles in the remote bays. 

Mt Liamuiga Volcano Crater Hike, Greg’s Safaris -  A challenging and rewarding hike through the rainforest and up to the top of Mt Liamuiga’s crater rim at 2800ft above sea level. On a cloudless day bubbling hot springs can be seen down in the crater.

Nevis Island Tours, Kantours - Take the ferry across to Nevis for a day of sightseeing and visit Hamilton House, the Museum of Nevis History, Nelson Museum and the Botanical Gardens.

Sky Safari Ziplining, Kantours - This exciting and exhilarating ride through and above the rainforest canopy gives you a bird’s eye view of the sheer beauty of this part of St, Kitts. Located on the historic Wingfield Estate, there are 5 lines ranging from the training line at a mere 75ft and just a few feet off the ground, to a line of 1,400ft, high above the tree tops, travelling at speeds of up to 80km per hour. 

St Kitts Scenic Railway - A unique way to see St Kitts aboard a specially designed train which travels along the narrow-gauge railway track originally built between 1912 and 1926 for the transportation of sugar cane. The track encircles the entire north section of St Kitts, an extremely attractive section of the island.
