What to do and see in St. Kitts, St. Kitts and Nevis: The Best Budget-friendly Things to do

September 28, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

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.

We arranged with Tatem prior to our day in port. All communication prior to the tour was very prompt and detailed. We felt very comfortable booking this 4 hour tour of the island with Tatem. He greeted us at the port (earlier than our designated time) with a smile and walked us a short distance to his immaculate vehicle. We enjoyed the day learning all about the island and the stops that we made including Brimstone Fortress, Romney Manor, the Lava Rocks as well as several buildings within the city. I would highly recommend Tatem for a wonderful day on the island of St. Kitts.

La Casa Del Habano St. Kitts

La Casa Del Habano St. Kitts is located at the bustling Port Zante in downtown Basseterre, St. Kitts-Nevis. Recently renovated and upgraded, we offer only authentic Cuban Cigars, fine wines and spirits in a relaxed and mature entertainment.

Reviewed By JohnnyInDC

On another cruise with friends with a stop at Basseterre, St Kitts. One of my favorite cigar lounges, Casa del Habano is located right in the port’s touristy shopping center (upstairs level). It’s an oasis, Cuban cigars, Cuban rum, Cuban music, leather couches, air conditioned, quiet, and Orlens, the manager, providing knowledgeable advice on cigars. I bought a few boxes of H. Uppman and a single Trinidad robusto to smoke right away. Orlens cut the cigar for me, toasted the foot and bought me a glass of Havana Club rum. It was 90 minutes of pure vacation from the world! If you are a member of the “brotherhood of the leaf”, this lounge will be memorable. Send the wife and kids to the beach, and spend an hour indulging yourself.

Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park

The 'Gibraltar of the West Indies', this massive fortress on a limestone hilltop rises nearly 800 feet above sea level.

A must see!!! If you step foot on the island of St Kitts please do yourself a favor and make every attempt to make sure you visit this wonderful site. I rented a vehicle and I had a mini panic attack driving up and down the fortress driveways. Please take a cab. They do this trip every single day and are used to the hairpin turns and narrow alley ways that can freak you out very quickly if you are the driver so just sit back relax and look out the window. The admission fee is $10 per person cash only. We went on an early Sunday morning and had the entire place to ourselves which was awesome. There is a quick 10 minute introductory historical video to watch adjacent to the gift shop. The steep steps up to the left bring you to the most strikingly beautiful views of Saint kits and the islands of Saba and St Eustacius. There are probably 40 cannons to look at take pictures of and admire the beautiful scenery. The historic bell is also located on the top of the tiled roof. If you go below to the main open gallery Archway there is a different room to learn about every piece of history along your journey through end it is fascinating information. Once you take the steep steps back down there is beautiful views overlooking a vast field with gorgeous mountainous views as well as the adjacent ocean with ruin type stone arches. I highly recommend going early in the morning before it gets too hot and the crowds begin to develop. Bring plenty of water and wear proper foot gear. They were also absolutely gorgeous hibiscus flowers everywhere to admire.

Mount Liamuiga

Reviewed By PamPeisnerCruiseOne

We read all of the reviews about how this was a strenuous hike and thought, "We are active and fit people, we can do it!" Well let me tell you, the hike is a beast! Super fun and beautiful though. It was quite a sense of accomplishment when you are sitting at the top looking down at the crater. We had a great tour guide in Hilton from Poinciana Tours. He made it fun and manageable. There were many spots that were tough to navigate and super challenging. You literally are holding yourself up by ropes at some points and scrambling up slippery rocks and tree roots. Several times on the way down we just slid on our bottoms because it was too slick to walk. Don't wear good clothes because you will be dirty when you finish. My fitbit said I hiked over 11 miles in 5 hours so it's a great workout! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a unique adventure but is fit enough and agile enough to handle it.

Amazing Grace Experience

St Kitts' beautiful Sandy Point was the setting for a dramatic story which changed the life of a foul mouthed slave trader who then went on to pen one of the most famous and well-loved songs of all time. "Amazing Grace".
