Aboard the St. Kitts Historic Railway you truly get a sense of this authentic Caribbean island, full of adventure, beauty and the smiles of its welcoming people. Following the coastline of pure white sand beaches, past towering fields of sugar cane, luscious rainforest and the historic UNESCO World Heritage Brimstone Hill Fortress, and you’ve circled this 30 mile island.
St. Kitts has taken its heritage of sugar and tobacco and shaped it into something new and exciting. Like at the ancient sugar estate and rum distillery of Romney Manor where you can now watch demonstrations of batik. From hiking the dormant volcano of Mt. Liamuiga to zip-lining through the rainforest or taking a high speed catamaran to twin island of Nevis, St. Kitts isn’t short on exhilarating activities either! Whether you’re liming away your afternoons, living it up on The Strip or topping up your feel-good on its gorgeous white sand beaches- St. Kitts is the quintessential Caribbean island.
