Going to St Kitts & Nevis?

7:44 pm Caribbean Traveller 3 Comments

Having a great vacation anywhere begins with one thing: a plan.


Whether that plan is a structured schedule of activities, lazy relaxation or to be adventure seeking while taking experiences as they come, knowing what you want out of holiday is the first step to having a great time. 

Fresh from a trip to sister isle of St. Kitts & Nevis, we've got some advice for would-be travellers that would help your entire travel experience to run much smoother.


To Do #1: Pick an island.

Though we recommend taking advantage of the many ferry services available to traverse the two islands, it may not be possible for every traveller. Though the islands are so close the atmosphere on each has its own uniqueness. Nevis is generally a lot more low key than her bigger sister. 




To Do #2: Decide whether this is a trip to maximize experience or comfort.

While there are luxury accommodations in St Kitts and in Nevis there are also many options on the affordable scale for those who just need a comfortable spot to lay their heads. Kittian Hill tops our chart for the high end lodgings in St. Kitts but charming Seaview Inn is our recommended spot for close access to amenities, affordable prices, proximity to the capital and cosy rooms. 
Nevis is an island that prides itself on the very laid back and natural atmosphere. 

Oualie Beach Hotel is conveniently located in Oualie Bay, which is the landing point for many water taxis, and is a 'green' hotel with well-appointed rooms. A quick trip across 'The Narrows' with will bring you directly to the hotel and reduce some of the hassle that can come with utilizing the public ferry service for St. Kitts & Nevis.




To Do #3: Arrange your ride from the airport beforehand.

Some accommodations don't offer airport shuttles as part of their services but there are many good taxi operators, such as Island Paradise Tours and Seamoss taxi services, that will meet you upon arrival and, if you're heading across to Nevis, then we recommend Islander Watersports who do an amazing job of arranging the entire airport transfer from pick up at Robert L. Bradshaw Airport to Nevis (which eliminates the hassle of taking the ferry with all your luggage). 

If you're staying in St Kitts and getting a rental, whether with Thrifty or any of the other companies, be sure to ask whether your vehicle can be waiting for you at the airport.




To Do #4: Look up 'must do' activities.

We recommend getting a taste of both islands.Though neither island is known for being a hive of activity for most of the year but there is so much to experience year round that a visit at any time can be more than enough of an experience. Take a tour around St. Kitts, see the historical Brimstone Hill Fortress, make time for a cold beer and a beach chair on The Strip. 

If you can, take a scenic ride across to Nevis and rent car to take a scenic drive around the island. Make a stop by Old Cottle Church, walk around Charlestown and see the line of flags along the pier on Main Street. For a more festive time, St. Kitts hosts annual festivals and the Nevis Blues Festival is becoming increasingly popular.
