Kruz Guys Posted June 15, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Besides beaches and water-related activites, what recommendations do you have for sightseeing in St. Kitts? Are there any good, reputable local tour companies / guides that you recommend? Is it safe and easy to explore on your own? Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any good, reputable local tour companies / guides that you recommend? Is it safe and easy to explore on your own? Thanks :D I HIGHLY recommend Royston from Royston Tours. He is extremely flexible and will customize a tour to meet you needs. I recommend seeing: Brimstone Hill - a restored fortress with excellent views (and a World Heritage Site) Caribelle Batik/Romney Gardens - really lovely gardens and some interesting souvenirs the view from Timothy Hill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruz Guys Posted June 18, 2010 Author #5 Share Posted June 18, 2010 You can go on the St. Kitts Scenic Railway, the zipline excursion, ATV Excursion, horseback riding, rainforest or volcano hike. All tours can be booked through The Tour Store. Thanks for your information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcikon2 Posted June 19, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I don't know if you are looking for beach time, but this is what I recommend: 1) Get off of the ship and visit the shops on your way to downtown. This is an easy walk. There are a couple neat shops downtown. I would only do this if you like to shop for local crafts. 2) Take a taxi to Brimstone Hill Fortress. 3) Take a taxi to a beach - either Cockleshell or South Friar's. You could ask your taxi driver to take you to both places and to pick you up from the beach. There are lots of stores at the pier to shop. What part of Texas are you from? I have lots of pictures of our trip and St. Kitts if you are interested. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
