Tour Nevis the "fun" way - in an open-air vehicle (Polaris 4x4) that traverses off-road; visit historical sites, rain forest and other points of interest. Go where others can't. Free refreshments. Vehicles also available for rent.

A postcard of a beach: fine white sands, coconut palms, placid waters and even a lagoon behind the beach.

Was I in Hawaii? That's the feeling I got when I was walking on this lovely long stretch of beach with Mount Nevis on one side with foreground covered by all the coconut trees at Four Seasons and Caribbean sea as foreground to the beautiful long stretch of hills and mountains of St. Kitts. The water is crystal clear with gemstone blue shades. Fortunately Four Seasons and its buildings didn't ruin the natural feel of the surroundings. In fact they blended well and added to enhance the beautiful views of Nevis. The beach feels deep drop off at places but there are plenty of sections that feel very safe for a long soak while taking in the views of Nevis.

Our most popular ride is the Nevis beach and trail ride which begins with a walk to the beach through an old coconut grove which was once part of Jamestown, the first capital of Nevis in the 1600's. Close by is Ft. Ashby, the first fort on the island built in 1650. Along the way, you will pass Nelson's Spring, a beautiful lagoon where clipper ships once filled up with fresh drinking water. We continue through Calhoun Estate where you will see Brahma cattle and in the distance, St. Thomas' Anglican Church, the oldest active Anglican Church in the Caribbean (1643). We then return to the beach at Beach Paradise Nevis on Paradise Beach, where we can see the beach at the Four Seasons Resort. From there, we turn east, off the beach to Paradise Estate, once a magnificent sugar plantation where you will see ruins of a sugar mill and, a little farther off, the magnificent estate homes at Four Seasons. Your ride then proceeds through the bush, near the Four Seasons world-renowned golf course. We ride past a typical Nevis home of the 1800's, made completely of cedar shingles, and on through the village of Cotton Ground, which derives its name from the production of cotton in years past. The people of this village are warm and friendly and you don't want to forget the name of your horse because the young children, who know the horses, will question you as to which one you are riding. As we make our return to the stables you will see St. Kitts to the west and the cloud covered Nevis Peak to the east. Just another beautiful day in paradise! Proprietors, The Guilberts, raised Arabian show horses for twenty-five years in California, USA before moving to Nevis in 1994. They opened the Nevis Equestrian Centre in 1996 with daughter, Erika, a trained hunter-jumper rider who conducted therapeutic riding, as a community service, for students with special needs from 1998 until 2009. Her students brought home gold silver and bronze medals from the Special Olympics held in North Carolina, USA in 1999 and from the Special Olympics World Games in Ireland in 2003.

A wonderful birthday surprise. Beautiful sunset beach ride along Paradise Beach led by Erika, who loves her horses and her home in Nevis. A welcome addition to your Nevis visit.

Visitors can see the ruins of this grand 18th-century hotel and spa.

The Bath Hotel and Spring House offer and very low key 115’ “foot” bath. It is very small, and gets crowded when cruise ships are in. I went late in the afternoon when it was virtually empty and was pleasantly surprised with how rejuvenated I felt afterwards. The heat is intense and you need to go in slowly. While there, I met a man from Nevis who was very informative about the bath and affirmed the healing powers of the volcanic water. I intend to go back. For $1 EC, it is a bargain!
