St. Kitts and Nevis Attractions

Information and links to the best attractions and activities on the sister islands of St. Kitts and Nevis.
Unique Caribbean Spectator Sports and Sporting Events
Caribbean visitors might think they would play golf, sail and snorkel all the time if they lived in the islands, but Caribbean residents themselves have a much broader range of interests when it comes to sports. If it's true that the way people play says a lot about how they live, then visitors can learn a lot (and have a great time, too) by joining the crowd at these popular Caribbean pastimes.

St. Kitts Activities
For a destination that has only experienced large-scale tourism for a few years, St. Kitts has a surprisingly diverse range of attractions and activities for visitors to experience, including a well-preserved British fortress, hikes to an extinct volcano, and of course day trips to neighboring Nevis.
Top Activities and Attractions on Nevis
One of Nevis's great strengths is its authentic, uncommercialized feel. Sure, like many Caribbean islands you can go windsurfing, scuba diving, and golfing, but it's when you get away from the resorts that the island really shines.

Brimstone Hill Fortress
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is both a historic and engineering wonder -- a huge (and well-preserved) fortress built atop a massive upthrust of bedrock, designed by the British to repel 18th-century French invaders. A must-see when you are visiting St. Kitts.
Caribelle Batik Factory
If you only bring home one souvenir from St. Kitts, make it something made here: the batik fabrics and fashions are bright and wonderful, Don't be fooled by the name: this "factory" is really a beautiful old sugar plantation home nestled by the edge of a rainforest.
Botanical Garden of Nevis
Orchids, palms, and hundreds of tropical flowers fill this seven-acre garden, interspersed with ponds and waterfalls.
