St Kitts Things to do

Explore a real rainforest
St Kitts is a tropical paradise with well preserved eco-systems where you can enjoy nature in its purest form. Miles of rainforest and mangroves are home to a diverse range of animals, flora and fauna and several tours operate for tourists, opening up a world of rare and beautiful sights such as green vervet monkeys, hummingbirds and fiddler crabs.

Head 'down town'
St Kitts is a laid back kind of place but you can find a bit of bustle in the pretty town of Basseterre. With a long history, Basseterre boasts some delightful architecture with colourful wood fronted structures alongside imposing stone buildings. With duty free shopping, local arts and crafts and a vibrant local market, Basseterre is a great place to sightsee and treat yourself.

Diving
One benefit of a St Kitts holiday is that the relative isolation of the island ensures marine life is able to thrive. Crystal clear, clean waters make it the ideal destination for diving and snorkelling. Over the centuries, hundreds of ships have met their fate providing an excellent environment for exploring the seabed and dozens of natural reef sites teem with fish and other sea-life.

Take a train ride
St Kitts has a long history of sugar production and the historic rail system is still used to transport sugar cane. These days it also transports visitors on a stunning tour of the island. The traditional but comfortable train passes through the lush green interior with wonderful ocean views on one side and mountains on the other. This is the perfect way to explore the island at your leisure.

Life on the ocean
There are many ways to sample the wonders of the ocean around St Kitts. Hiring a boat is one option but you can always leave the hard work to someone else. Catamaran trips are a fantastic, fun way to see the island from the sea and discover remote beaches and bays. Safari companies are on hand to take care of your every need and provide an exciting sea experience.

Discover stunning beaches
A St Kitts holiday is all about the beach. Miles of stunning, white sand beaches are at your disposal. You can opt for a spot with refreshments and activities on hand or escape the crowds and find a little piece of heaven. Turtle beach on the southern peninsular is a 9 mile drive or water taxi ride with spectacular panoramic views of the neighbouring island of Nevis.

Make like a local
St Kitts people are friendly and fun loving and rightfully proud of their beautiful island. Relax and unwind, making the most of the laid-back island vibe and enjoy the wonderful food, enticing cocktails, mellow music and stunning vistas on your tropical island getaway.  Whether on a family holiday or romantic escape you can't fail to be swept away by your St Kitts holiday.
