Apex sailing in April- Favorite things in Puerto Rico and St Kitts?

[luv2ndhalf]

We are late 50’s and usually take private excursions or just go on our own- Suggestions on what to see at these ports? Beach day passes? Good restaurants? Thanks!

The Ports boards are a great resource for this information:

Following because we will be on the same itinerary (Apex, April 23rd sailing) and having never been to St. Kitts I am curious what the best/most interesting attractions are.

 

As for Puerto Rico, I personally enjoy spending time exploring Old San Juan.  The rainforest is also a good experience if you enjoy nature.

We were in St Kitts yesterday (February 11). If you are looking for an island tour, I highly recommend Thenford Grey. Very professional and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

Been in St Kitts numerous times. The train excursion is really excellent, part of the old sugar cane route.  My other favorite on our own is taxi to Reggae Beach. A little further out so far fewer cruisers. Great beach, drinks and the best Mahi-Mahi sandwich.

Rum tasting excursion in St. Kitts was very good.  All the rum!! 🙂

We did the 6 hour catamaran snorkel/beach (Nevis).  Excellent!  Great fun!

Remember that you will be getting into Old San Juan around 3:30 pm.  We like to walk to one of the Forts at the top of the hill.  There has been free transportation if there are mobility issues.  If you are a National Parks Pass, that will allow free admission to the Forts.  Great views from them.

 

As for St Kitts, I have enjoyed the snorkel and beach excursion.
