Tip - What to See & Do

Far less frequented than its larger sister island, St. Kitts, Nevis is nonetheless worthy of attention. Choose from a variety of trips to the island from nearby Basseterre, the capital city of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis in the West Indies. Hiking is one ideal way to experience the beauty of the island. Groups can wend their way through a compelling array of natural variety, beauty and color, pursuing destinations such as the summit of Nevis Peak, once thought to be snow-covered, from which visitors can peruse sweeping vistas of nearby islands and the breathtaking expanses of the Caribbean.

Another excellent way to enjoy the natural wonder to be found on Nevis is by horseback. Famous local tour outfits and experienced guides lead groups on rides along beautiful white sand beaches, turquoise waters and low-hanging palm trees and other lush vegetation. The Nevis Botanical Gardens cover nearly nine acres of land only a few minutes' southeast of Nevis’ capital city of Charlestown. The gardens possess a stunning array of tropical greenery, orchid and rose gardens, and a rain forest arboretum. All flora is well marked with common plant names, so one needn’t be a botanist to enjoy the splendor.

The tropical climate and family-friendly destinations make Nevis an excellent option for all age groups. Hiking trails and routes are inconsistently marked and trail conditions can be difficult for the young or infirm. Guided tours are affordable and advisable. Independent adventures should take care to travel in an unusually well prepared manner.

Doing what: Catamaran Party Cruise to Nevis from St Kitts

One of the highlights of our trip! The crew was friendly and definitely focused on showing their guests a great time. It was great to spend a full day out on the beautiful water, and also to experience some of what Nevis has to offer.

Doing what: Catamaran Party Cruise to Nevis from St Kitts

This was one of the highlights of my trip. The crew on this catamaran were AWESOME! The drinks were flowing, the snorkeling was good (and instruction given if needed) and lunch on the beach in Nevis was simple, but filling - hot dogs, chicken, salad & fruit. We then had plenty of time to swim in the crystal clear waters of Nevis. This departs walking distance from the cruise terminal, so is perfect for a shore excursion.

Doing what: Nevis Full-Day Island Tour from St Kitts

Nevis was amazing!!! However, the ferry ride was about an hour to Nevis. We were booked on a cargo passenger ferry going there. If you get sea sick, this tour is not for you!
