Things to do in St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis: The Best Walking Tours
Lush and luxuriant, the exotic tropical island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis is a romantic paradise. St. Kitts' wonderful beaches remain relatively crowd-free, and nature lovers delight in seeing lava formations, tropical forest and lagoons and underwater marvels while snorkeling or diving. Among more than 200 historical sites, former plantation homes now offer elegant accommodation. Eco-rambles, bio-tours and climbing are Nevis attractions. Rent cars or mopeds on-island and catch ferries between the two.

Great day! Pick up was at 10:00am, drop off by 3:00pm. - Timothy Hill - Drive through Basse Terre via Calypso Bay - Caribelle Batik / Romney Manor - Brimstone Hill National Fortress - Black Rocks Joseph (Annie's husband) was very kind, knowledgeable, and flexible when we wanted to take a little extra time at Brimstone National Fortress (we ended up being the only ones on the tour that day). Highly recommended. Pack a few snacks and water just in case you get a little hungry.
2. Volcano Caldera (Mt. Liamuiga) Trek
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
On the Volcano Caldera Trek you get to hike up every tier of the volcanic cone and you are almost guaranteed to get a bit dirty as you hike, explore, climb and pull yourself to the Caldera of mount Liamuiga. This trek starts at 750ft above the Caribbean Sea and has the perfect back drop with an amazing view of the sweeping landscape down to the Caribbean Sea. The memorable thing with this tour is that you will actually witness the changes in the tropical succession stages as you ascend higher and higher towards the caldera. You will feel the temperature drop, you will see the changes in vegetation, and you will experience the increasing incline as you get closer and closer to the caldera. It is truly a once in a live time trek to experience and once at the top your breath will be taken away by the stunning view while you stand 2800ft above the Caribbean Sea and 600ft above the bottom of the volcanic crater with a rim opening to almost one mile away.
Inclusions: Bottled water. Light refreshment which includes local pastries and tropical juice.

The guides from Poinciana are very loud and rather obnoxious. It's hard to enjoy the natural beauty of the area when the guide is constantly yelling.

Clayton was our guide and did a fantastic job of taking us to spots we wanted to see. He also recommended Lime Beach Bar for lunch, took us there and picked us up in time to meet the ferry back to St. Kitts. He was so concerned that we get back to St. Kitts he had someone else he knew on the ferry watch over us. All in all I would definitely book this trip again thru Tropical Tours. They did a wonderful and thorough job.

We did the rainforest tour and it was excellent. There was somebody waiting for us in port when we docked and we were promptly taken to a very comfortable car for our drive to the rainforest. Here we were met by Kelvin who was our rainforest tour guide. Kelvin was so knowledgable and the whole tour was magnificent. It was a real pleasure to be guided by someone who knew so much - we were even treated to fresh almonds, straight from the pod! Afterwards, we were taken to a small bar where we had tasty complimentary snacks and a drink, before being driven back to the cruise port in PLENTY of time to re-board the ship before it left the island. A wonderful excursion. If we are ever lucky enough to be back in St Kitts, we will use Island Paradise Tours again for sure! Thanks everyone - we had such a great day!

Greg picked us up in a modified late model Dodge Ram pickup. The box was modified with 3 rows of bench seating and a roof overtop to provide some shade. Heads definitely turn to look while traveling in this monster. Greg was right on time and provided a safe trip to and from our catamaran trip. Highly recommend Greg & Beach Ram Tours for your transportation needs while on St Kitts.

Nothing what we expected this excursion from our cruise to be! It said, nature, wildlife and flowers. Our tour guide was obsessed about the trees, the tree names and what we can do with every tree for medicine or eating. We spotted a bunch of monkeys and were so excited but our tour guide said "it's sad the new government doesn't let us kill them anymore because they eat and ruin all the crops". Then proceed to continue on the tour without even talking about what kind of monkeys or how they even got here. He didn't care we saw a bunch of hummingbirds our tour guide was more interested in picking and handing us a lemon leaf or all of us touching an aloe plant. Once we got into the rainforest we noticed the tour walked along the pipe line, it was dirty and nothing scenic about the area at all. He explained every tree in sight but forgot to mention the cool millipede we spotted and walked away when we pointed it out. I really thought this tour was about nature and not trees because I would have picked a far different tour then trees! It said moderate trails and at one point our tour guide said when someone falls we will all laugh and you will get muddy but you'll stand up and continue on, he never waited for the whole group to catch up and at one point a bunch of us might as well been hiking without a tour guide. At least then we were spotting bugs in the forest. Be prepared there is no food or drinks to buy on this trip and at the end they gave out a few apples, bananas, cake and juice. Not much after hiking for 3 hours in a muggy forest.
