10 Bus Tours in St. Kitts That You Shouldn't Miss

August 27, 2021 Carley Gatson

Lush and luxuriant, the exotic tropical island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis is a romantic paradise. St. Kitts' wonderful beaches remain relatively crowd-free, and nature lovers delight in seeing lava formations, tropical forest and lagoons and underwater marvels while snorkeling or diving. Among more than 200 historical sites, former plantation homes now offer elegant accommodation. Eco-rambles, bio-tours and climbing are Nevis attractions. Rent cars or mopeds on-island and catch ferries between the two.

Dejourne was EXCELLENT!!!! He was attentive to his riders and gave fantastic information during our tour! He was informative and entertaining at the same time. He helped physically challenged riders in and out of his vehicle as well. Most importantly, Dejourne made an unscheduled but highly necessary rest stop for myself, my mother and aunt. He was a gentleman, although I admittedly caused some entertainment for my fellow riders!! I would definitely recommend him and his company!!!

On the Volcano Caldera Trek you get to hike up every tier of the volcanic cone and you are almost guaranteed to get a bit dirty as you hike, explore, climb and pull yourself to the Caldera of mount Liamuiga. This trek starts at 750ft above the Caribbean Sea and has the perfect back drop with an amazing view of the sweeping landscape down to the Caribbean Sea. The memorable thing with this tour is that you will actually witness the changes in the tropical succession stages as you ascend higher and higher towards the caldera. You will feel the temperature drop, you will see the changes in vegetation, and you will experience the increasing incline as you get closer and closer to the caldera. It is truly a once in a live time trek to experience and once at the top your breath will be taken away by the stunning view while you stand 2800ft above the Caribbean Sea and 600ft above the bottom of the volcanic crater with a rim opening to almost one mile away.

Inclusions: Bottled water. Light refreshment which includes local pastries and tropical juice.

Roosevelt came highly recommended from a mutual acquaintance who grew up in St Kitts. My husband and I had such a great time with him. He took us all over the island and is so knowledgeable about the history. We even stopped midway and he introduced us to some native fruits which we had never tried. He is so personable and engaging. He is a wonderful guide to St Kitts!

Chris was waiting for us in front of the casino as planned. He knows everything about the island and the perfect places to stop. He also is expert at keeping the hucksters away although there were few on the Saturday we toured. The town is an easy walk from the port and is was nice to get out of town in the comfort of his modern van. So nice to get individual attention instead of being herded onto a big tour bus!

The guides from Poinciana are very loud and rather obnoxious. It's hard to enjoy the natural beauty of the area when the guide is constantly yelling.

We did the rainforest tour and it was excellent. There was somebody waiting for us in port when we docked and we were promptly taken to a very comfortable car for our drive to the rainforest. Here we were met by Kelvin who was our rainforest tour guide. Kelvin was so knowledgable and the whole tour was magnificent. It was a real pleasure to be guided by someone who knew so much - we were even treated to fresh almonds, straight from the pod! Afterwards, we were taken to a small bar where we had tasty complimentary snacks and a drink, before being driven back to the cruise port in PLENTY of time to re-board the ship before it left the island. A wonderful excursion. If we are ever lucky enough to be back in St Kitts, we will use Island Paradise Tours again for sure! Thanks everyone - we had such a great day!

To start with I have to say that Captain Sunshine Tours delivered on their promises and Damien was the best guide you could ever want, helpful, knowledgeable, skilled and entertaining. The hike is not a hike - it is a mountain and rock climb, a real killer for anyone not in top physical condition. My husband and I are in our mid sixties and walk a lot at home so we managed to finish it but were sore for days after. What were we thinking?!! In addition, there is a real possibility of injury and no aid in sight. The view is of a jungle filled crater through a small gap in the trees so unless you want to physically challenge yourself and are confident of your abilities - don't consider this. The view is not worth the effort. Any satisfaction comes from arriving safe and sound back at the starting point.
