Yes.  It is wonderful.  Thenford Grey is wildly popular, for good reason.

 

As Bob wrote, check out the ports of call forum for St. Kitts, but also read the reviews on tripadvisor.com

Dont know about this particular tour but I do know you will find no finer man in the Caribbean than Thenford Grey.

We use "Thenford Grey" for our group excursions in the past (we are travel agents and we escort large groups of cruise passengers). He has always been very friendly, professional and accommodating. We have not done this particular excursion

with him, but I can assure  you that he will take good care of you. Have a fun cruise......

We did this in December. Very enjoyable hike.  It was raining and the footing was a little slick in places. Make sure you wear sneakers, not sandals. Thenford Grey does a great job.

We have done the volcano hike twice, the beach and his island tour. All fantastic. I highly recommend Thenford.

Most people have done either the volcano hike or the island tour. It's been hard finding others that have done the Rainforest option.

 

What did you think of the hike? We love hiking and the outdoors so we thought this would be perfect. While we hike mountains, I was worried the volcano might be too fast paced or strenuous for us. Was there a lot of people on this tour? And how long of a hike? Was hoping for plenty of time to take in the scenery. If you have any pictures, I'd love to see them. 🙂

You are right. It was very difficult to find much info about the rainforest hike. But since I read so many great things about Thenford Grey, I took a chance.

 

We were a group of 4. My husband and I are in our early 50’s and our sons are teenagers. Nowhere near in good enough shape to do the Volcano tour (my sons could do it, but not us mature adults), but I wanted to do some outdoor activity. This tour was perfect for us. I don’t know if this is usual, but we had a private tour for the 4 of us. We started out at Romney House and visited the batik factory, then went on the rainforest tour. I am guessing it was about 2 miles. We walked all through the rainforest and learned a ton about the plants and animals. There were really cool trees. Most of the hike was flat, but there was a scramble up a hill with ropes near the end. Now I do want to remind you that it rains in a rainforest, so there was a lot of mud and slick spots in the forest. Wear appropriate footwear.

 

Sorry, I can’t post pictures. They didn’t really turn out well with the dappled light in the rainforest.

That sounds like an amazing time.

Thank you so much for all the information. We're very much looking forward to it! 🙂
