St. Kitts Excursions

[ktkcruisers]

This is our first time cruising to St. Kitts. We would appreciate any advice as to best excursion to take there. Thank you!

Without a doubt take the catamaran to Nevis. We did it while on the Serenade in February and it was an absolutely wonderful day.

Are you traveling w/kids? If so, might look at the train.

Is this a cruise line excursion, or did you arrange it privately?

We booked a volcano hike with Royston Tours several a few years ago and had a wonderful day. He was a perfect guide and it was beautiful.

We had an excellent tour in March: The Grand Tour of St. Kitts. Not a ship's excursion.

I booked through the ship for Fort Brimstone and Romney Manor and really enjoyed going to both locations. Very different and unique sites; not so much like your typical caribbean tourist traps.

We did the lunchtime special and it was wonderful! 15.00 each & it was 3 1/2 hours. We saw so much! http://tourstkittsandnevis.com/

It would be helpful if you would give us some idea of what your interests are. If you're into active excursions, I can recommend the zipline. It is a private company, but must be booked through the ship. We had a fantastic time on it.

 

Next time around I plan to do an island tour, but I doubt it will be the train. I like to wander around and do a bit of discovery on my own and will probably book something that includes the fort.

 

I'm intrigued by the concept of a hop over to Nevis, but I'm not really the catamaran type (too sedate) so I'm not likely to book anything for Nevis unless I can score a "go fast" boat.

The "Catamaran Sail to Nevis" and the "Scenic Railway" are both good ones. :)

It was a cruise line excursion. The one we took allowed us a stop to snorkel and then we continued on to the beach. It also came with alcoholic punch and lunch.. Hope this helps.

The Scenic Railway train ride around the island is a great option. My wife booked the excursion through the cruise line.

Doesn't RCCL have an excursion where you take the train outbound and come back via a catamaran?

PS: We really enjoyed the train!

You would probably get more responses on the Port of Calls board, but we booked an island tour with Royston Tours and it was fantastic.

We do a beach day and take a taxi to Carambola. Been there twice. First time took a tour thru Thenford Gray (private tour) and got a tour of island then at beach 3 hours. Last time we just took a taxi. You can google and then email and reserve day beds or beach chairs. (Make sure it's Carambola on St Kitts)It can get very full. It is one of my very favorite breaches! Nice lunch food - I like to eat on beach and not take time in restaurant. Very nice and clean restrooms!

We did "Catamaran Fan-Ta-Sea to Nevis with Snorkel" Had a wonderful time. Great day. After snorkeling we beached at Nevis for over an hour. The set up lounges with umbrellas and a free bar for us. There is also a bar/restaurant at the beach if interested, but lunch was served on the Catamaran. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Another vote for Thenford Gray. No up front credit card/ or money. Gives a great tour. Both him and brother well known honest people. Bob The Villages Florida

On Princess we took the train and went back by sailing catamaran.

There were two Scenic Railway excursions offered -- one back by catamaran -- the other back by bus.

 

RCCL probably offers the same thing.

Will be visiting St Kitts soon for the first time as well on our 10th anniversary cruise … So thank you everyone for the suggestions!

[ktkcruisers]

Thank you for all of the great suggestions! We decided to try the catamaran with snorkeling. We're very excited! Wish we had time to do more! :)

Yep ... RC does offer the train and catamaran as a package ... they call it the Scenic Rail & Sail. We've got it booked for our Nov Anthem cruise.
