St Kitts is ideal for anyone who loves spending time outdoors exploring the local fauna and flora, or just anyone who doesn't want to spend every minute on the beach. The island has an abundance of rainforest, and there are a number of easy-going or more strenuous hikes available.
The island is relatively pest free, and as many of the hikes are 1200 feet above sea level they are also quite cool. It's a great way of exploring, and gives you a chance to see local exotic fruits and vegetables, beautiful freshwater springs, exotic hummingbirds, bamboo groves and an awful lot more of nature.
If you don't want to spend a lot of time hiking then there are lots of tours available which will take you up into protected areas in specialist 4x4 land Rovers which are specially built for off-road touring. It's a lovely way to see exactly how beautiful this island really is, and a trip up to the volcano crater rim is an absolute must as it gives spectacular views over the island.
Other tours take you through the former sugar plantations, and you'll even get a chance to see inside these beautiful homes and to catch a glimpse of how life must have been. These types of trips are excellent, and don't require a great deal of fitness.
The lovely thing about St Kitts is that although tourism is becoming more important, the government is ensuring that developments such as Ocean’s Edge are carefully constructed to fit in with the natural environment, and the emphasis is very much on enjoying the natural splendor of the island as much of it is dedicated to National Park.
