St. Kitts Volcano Hike

Experience the trek of a lifetime on this extraordinary guided tour. Pass through a number of scenic mountainside attractions before reaching the top of Mount Liamuiga, the highest point on St. Kitts Island. This exhilarating St. Kitts tour is ideal if you're looking for an enriching nature experience.

St. Kitts is garnished with colorful and vibrant architecture, characteristic of the Caribbean. The tour begins with a scenic one-hour drive with your professional guide to the Parish of St. Paul's Be amazed by the coastline adorned with small bays and thin strands of black volcanic sand. Steep cliffs provide jaw-dropping views of the beaches lining the coast.

Afterward, your guide will lead a sixteen mile expedition along the west coastline from the lovely city of Basseterre to its furthest point north. Basseterre is a bustling city where you'll notice boats docking and departing from the neighboring island, Nevis. "The Circus Basseterre" is a social and commercial central hub with noteworthy restaurants, banks, the National Museum, and other interesting venues.

A highlight of this area is the Berkeley Memorial, an exquisite structure built in the style of London's Piccadilly Circus. The memorial stands on a drinking fountain and serves as a clock with four faces, each one facing the street leading to the Circus.

Your guide will lead you through lush countryside to see the St. George Anglican Church, built by the Jesuits in 1670, and The War Memorial, a monument constructed to honor those who fought in the world wars.

Next, visit the iconic Brimstone Hill Fortress, a national park of historical, cultural, and architectural significance. Following the fortress, head to St. Paul's village and the Belmont Estate, a gorgeous area about 1,200 feet above sea level.

Finally, you ascend the volcano. Mount Liamuiga stands 3,792 feet tall and is the highest point on the island. After an estimated two and a half hour hike upwards, you'll observe what is referred to as "Giants Salad Bowl." Your hard work is rewarded with your arrival at Sugar City, the volcano's crater, one thousand feet deep and almost one mile wide.

Once there, enjoy light refreshments, rejuvenate amidst the serene cloud forest around you, and enjoy spectacular views of the "quilted" coastline below. Book this St. Kitts tour today for an experience of volcanic proportions.
