St. Kitts and Nevis

St. Kitts and Nevis is a pair of volcanic Caribbean islands that reward curiosity. St. Kitts has a UNESCO-listed hilltop fortress at Brimstone Hill, a narrow-gauge sugar railway that circles the island, a compact capital in Basseterre and a rainforest-covered volcano in Mount Liamuiga, while its southeast peninsula leads to the beach bars of Cockleshell Beach and the sweeping view from Timothy Hill. A short sail or ferry ride away, Nevis is calmer and quieter, with the historic streets of Charlestown, the long sands of Pinney's Beach and a cloud-capped peak. This guide books both islands properly: a guided island tour that takes in Brimstone Hill and Romney Manor, the Scenic Railway, a catamaran day trip to Nevis, a volcano hike, and an easy walking tour of Charlestown. It is built for cruise-port days as much as for longer stays, then matches you with the right hotel, from a Frigate Bay beach resort to quiet luxury on Banana Bay and the Nevis coast.
