What island should we take a tour on? St Martin or St Kitts?

[AdamInKC]

We are going on our cruise in a few weeks to Barbados, St Martin, St Thomas, St Kitts and St Lucia. We are already booked for a catamaran tour in Barbados and a Cosol tour in St Lucia. We are contemplating taking another tour in either St Kitts or St Martin (going to the beach in St Thomas). Which island would you recommend for a tour? Which has more to see?

 

Thanks!

I'd have to say St Kitts has more to see than St Maarten. More mountainous, the fort, the gardens at the batik factory, views of the coastline. In St Maarten you can walk or get an all day pass for the water taxi and go to town and shop. There is a beach near the ship with plenty of bars/restaurants- not the best for swimming- some say the water is polluted. Or take a cab to Marigot , shop and have lunch

Hi,

We have visited all of these islands and think that touring St. Kitts is more scenic than St. Martin. We went on a tour of St. Kitts with Thenford Grey and visited Caribelle (spelling?) Batik and gardens, Brimstone Fort, and a beach at the southern end of the island. Very scenic with great views. Thenford Grey was a real gentleman and awesome tour guide. There are many other things to see and do on St. Kitts.
