What to do when you Visit St Kitts and Nevis
2009-09-21 22:59:30 by
As in all of the Caribbean, outdoor activities take front and center when you visit one of the islands, and St Kitts and Nevis are no exception. The abundance of sunlight, clear blue ocean, and tropical weather will lure even the most dedicated couch potato outside. Here are some ideas.
1. Try renting a horse. There are miles of sandy beaches and dense rain forests to explore. Guided tours can be arranged or you can rent through the hotels. Several horse races are part of the lifestyle. Indian Castle racetrack in Nevis is one of the only tracks in the world that the horses run clockwise instead of counter clockwise.
2. Scuba diving. Did we mention the clear water? Explore the many shipwrecks with equipment from your hotel or rent from local companies. Supplies on Nevis are more limited than on St. Kitts.
3. Try hiking. You can wind through the rain forests to emerge at massive dorman volcanoes. Enjoy the scenery from a higher view, and feel the dense tropical air. Guides and equipment are available through the hotels. There are a few mountains that are climbable on both St. Kitts and Nevis, and some companies offer guided day hikes and day climbing adventures.
4. Yes, there are 3 golf courses. There is an 18-hole championship course on Nevis, plus an 18-hole international championship course and a 9-hole course on St. Kitts. Two are owned and maintained by hotels, Marriott Royal Resort and Four Seasons Resort. They have amazing views of the mountains and the blue sea.
5. Want to be a history buff? On Nevis, there are many historical buildings, houses and plantations to explore. In the Center of Main Street is Memorial Square, in honor of the men who served in the Great War of 1914-1918. On Chapel Street, the Charlestown Methodist Church still stands, built in 1844. Go south from Charlestown to Fort Charles, which the British built in 1690. It was remodeled in 1783 and again in 1790. For something more unusual, Butler's Village in Nevis has a haunted house called the Eden Brown Estate. When walking around the grounds, it's said that you can see a bride weeping.
6. Gambling. Frigate Bay has a casino, and there are several bars and nightclubs that offer food, dancing, and karaoke throughout the islands.
These are just an appetizer to the visitor opportunities offered by St. Kitts and Nevis. We hope this will convince you to give our islands a visit soon, and top by our Coldwell Banker office to chat while you are here.
