Leisure & Activities

St Kitts Sugar Train
A unique way to see the island is from the old sugar train. The double decker train was originally used to carry the sugar from plantations to the factory, but when production ceased in 2005, it was converted to carry passengers. During the trip local calypso singers come aboard to serenade you. The whole journey takes about 3 hours.

Brimstone Hill Fortress
Brimstone Hill Fortress was constructed in 1690 and was used by the British to defend the island of St Kitts from invading armies. Today it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fantastic museum depicting what life was like for the soldiers stationed there.

Basseterre
The capital of St Kitts, Basseterre is well worth a visit. All of the most well-known attractions are within walking distance of each other, including The Old Treasury Building, the Church of the Immaculate Conception, the Berkeley Memorial Clock Tower and Independence Square. There’s also interesting shops and lovely colonial style houses.
