Anyone done Celeb ship tours in St Kitts?

[ctmama4]

Hi, I'm looking for more details and/or reviews from the ship tours in St Kitts. We're on the Summit in April and interested in snorkeling/catamaran, beach or 4x4 safari tour. Would like any additional info please - can't find more details specific to Celebrity on the port page, already checked. Thanks!

We had a great time on the train tour that went all around the island!!! It was really fun!!

We also did the Scenic Railroad in January & enjoyed it also-scenery was great. Alfred

We did the "rail and sail" tour. First half was the two-level train around half the island, then a catamaran ride along the coastline back to the ship. Plenty to eat and drink along the way and quite a bit of fun!

We did the snorkel and catamaran tour via the ship when we were there in 2011. It was well run and we had a lot of fun. Watch out for the rum punch. It packs a wallop.:) It was a short walk from the pier to the catamaran. We had a nice sail past the islands and about 30 minutes to arrive at the snorkelling location. It is done at anchor so there is no wading in when we went. After that, we sailed to a beach where we had lunch. Not 5 star dining but pretty good for lunch on a beach. We had a chance to stay at the beach for about an hour or so including lunch, then the sail back to the pier and back on the ship. I would do it again.

Another vote for the SAIL N RAIL excursion. My favorite excursion so far.

I realize you asked about another tour, but I want to add a vote for the zip line tour in ST Kitts. It has amazing open ocean views while you zip line. Also, the beaches in ST Kitts are not nearly as good as other ports your ships stops at. Even if you do the zip tour, you still would have time to one of the local beaches afterwards.

thanks for the suggestions! The rest of my family all wants to snorkel - now trying to decide b/t Celebrity's Nevis or just St. kitts catamaran/snorkel tours.

FYI, the catamaran sail and snorkel in St. Kitts is typically run by the same people who run the "sail" portion of the rail and sail excursion. We have done both... as others have said, the Rail and Sail was super interesting (and provided the best rum punch I've ever had!), and the cat sail around the island was simply blissful (and provided the 2nd best rum punch I've ever had!).

 

So, depending on your party's interests, the Rail and Sail, or the Cat Sail and Snorkel in St. Kitts are wonderful. Enjoy!

We did the Rail and Sail a few years ago. It was pretty fun. I wish the sail part had been longer but we had a great day.

 

We took an independent tour last month, saw the fortress and the batik factory and had a great tour of the island with a stop at a beach resort at the end.

We enjoyed the Rail-n-Sail, last year. As first-time visitors to St. Kitts, it was a great way to see lots of the island in one day! :cool:

scenic rail tour really good.

Claudia B,

 

Who did you use for independent tour in St Kitts?

 

Thanks so much

Confession up front: I live in Fla with fantastic beaches so I don't spend much time going to them on cruises.

 

We took the Cookingtour in St Kitts. Loved it. I think learning the dining styles helps you learn a good deal about a place. We had fresh swordfish and local fruit and veges. Great stuff. The tour also had a trip around the island some.

 

We also had a cooking class inMexico and one in Istanbul (private). Fantastic.

We did the sail & snorkel with BBQ on Nevis booked through the ship. It was AMAZING!

Just watch the people with the monkeys at the port. Annoying!

We did the catamaran over to Nevis with the bbq. There was also a snorkel stop somewhere off St. Kitts first before heading to Nevis. We did enjoy it and would recommend.

 

Our next cruise to St. Kitts in Dec. we will be doing the Rail and Sail.
