St Kitts

Intoxicating natural beauty, sunny skies, warm waters, a living museum of historical explorations, and white sandy beaches all combine to make St Kitts one of the most seductive spots in the Caribbean.<br /> <br /> What’s not to love about St Kitts? The rolling landscape is a thousand shades of green, the waters are a tranquil shade of turquoise, and life on this precious gift of nature is sweet and simple.<br /> <br /> Imagine an island that has set aside more than a quarter of its land as a National Park, with a rainforest that is actually expanding in size rather than shrinking. This is St Kitts.<br /> <br /> An island surrounded by new and untouched dive sites, marked by massive beds of coral, teeming with fish of every stripe and colour. Here you’ll be surrounded by wildlife, from chattering vervet monkeys and scurrying families of mongoose, to roaming cows, goats, and black-bellied sheep.<br /> <br /> Drive or hike through the Valley of Giants, zip line over the rainforest or climb up to sit yourself in the cradle of Sofa Rock, then be guided down 1000 feet to its steaming crater floor. It’s all here, and much more besides.
