Picking a shore excursion

[Whimsy88]

St. Kitts is one our stops on the Carnival Freedom in early July and it will be our first time there. We are traveling with another family (2 couples, 4 teenage boys and 2 kiddos total). The current work-in-progress plan is to divide and conquer - the dads and boys hike the volcano, while the moms take the 2 young ones on the train. We are in port 7-5 and it doesn't look like any other ships are scheduled in port with us. Questions are:

Who should we book the volcano hike with (Carnival doesn't offer it as an excursion, but I know there are a couple options out there-which is best)?

Are we good on time?

Are there any options to work into this plan to see Black Rocks?

Are there any close-in beach options if we have time before we have to get back on board?

 

Thanks for the insight and suggestions.

our favorite tour operator on St Kitts is Thenford Grey--www(dot)thenfordgrey(dot)com-he has several he does, but last time there we did "The Tour" which goes to Brimstone Fortress, among other places. I see he also has a volcano hike listed

We used Pereira Tours last year - basic island tour with Brimstone, Black Rocks and Carib Batik - email is lizpereiratours at yahoo dot com. She does have the hike listed on her website. We would use her again!

We have been to St.Kiits several times and highly recommend Thenford Grey, Grey's Islandtours.

Google myislandtoursdotcom this is who we booked with he actually takes you to walk on the black rocks rather then just see them he also has great reviews on tripadvisor
