4.Volcano Hike to Mt. Liamuiga the Highest Peak

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 108 reviews · 6 hours · from $89

Mt. Liamuiga hike review: a demanding rainforest climb from Basseterre with guides, crater views, safety support, and practical tips.

“This is not a hike. This is a climb. Head down, over roots, scrambling on rocks, pulling on vines climb. Hands on rocks or on sides of gullies so you don't fall climb. This is not for kids, this is not for the elderly, this is not for anyone that isn't in good shape. At the top of the volcano, you can fall off the ledge, there is not railing or ropes, and fall to your death. I am not exaggerating. It is 2.5hours of climbing up and 1.5 hours back down. I work out and swim every day. I am in good shape. This was not easy or even…”

The hike itself was great; the whole team were very flexible and patient, adjusting the pace as required to make sure everyone was comfortable on the way up and down. Janeel, Jourdan, DJ and Sam were all brilliant, knowledgeable guides for the journey. Overall, it's one of the best activities to do if you ever visit the island.

9.St. Kitts and Nevis Catamaran Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 42 reviews · 7 hours · from $120

Review of the St. Kitts to Nevis catamaran tour, with snorkeling, beach lunch, open bar, island views, and practical booking advice.

“This was genuinely one of the best experiences we’ve ever booked through GYG. Communication from start to finish – right up to departure – was fantastic and really reassuring. The meeting point was just a few minutes from the cruise port, making it very easy to find. The catamaran itself was modern, spacious, and well laid out. With around 50 people onboard I initially worried it might feel overcrowded, but there was plenty of room once underway. The crew were absolute diamonds – some of the friendliest, most genuine people we’ve met – constantly checking in and keeping drinks topped up. Highly recommend the “Ting”… especially with a sting 😉…”

They are the nicest guys and I can honestly say this was the best Get Your Guide tour I have ever done and fantastic value for money. Overall we were on the tour for around 5 hours. There were plenty of stops along the way, a beautiful view point and a beach where you could…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 8 reviews · 4 hours · from $75

Hunt sea glass on St. Kitts’ black-sand coast, learn about volcanic geology, and weigh the scenic rewards against a rough coastal hike.

“Janeel communicated well with us and we were able to find him easily after leaving our cruise ship. His van is clean and comfortable. He was very attentive and helpful. The beach had loads of sea glass. We enjoyed just being there. The tide was high so we only visited the one beach and he gave us several options. After we were finished on the beach. One was a short hike into the rain forest. Our group agreed to this and it was great! So beautiful. Janeel answered all our questions and we learned a lot about St. Kitts. He brought us water and a local treat that we enjoyed…”
