What to do on St. Kitts....no train?

schatje · May 12, 2005

Hi, we will be on St. Kitts on Dec 8th on a Thursday. We are in are not interested in doing the train excursion but we are interested in snorkeling or seeing the sights. We are in our 50's and like to book our excursions off the ship to save money so we need some suggestions. Any info you can contribute would be appreciated.

Frankly the best recommendation I can make on St Kitts is to negotiate with a driver and have him give you a tour. South Friars Beach on Frigate Bay has good snorkeling, port a pottie's on the beach, and vendors with drinks. Unspoiled views makes you think of how it must have looked in Columbus's time. There are resorts around the island that will let you have day use. The port has shops on the pier and in the town, a nearby museum, some nice restaurants in town, a facsimile of Trafalgar Square, a historic cathedral by a city park, and not much else. The island was mostly sugar cane plantation. They do have some catamaran snorkel tours and the cat's leave from the marina by the pier.
