Beach Shuttle to Timothy Hill & Frigate Bay

Fancy just lying back, relaxing and unwinding on a tropical beach - then this is for you.  Firstly, capture a couple of shots of the most beautiful panoramic views from Timothy Hill before your short drive down to the beach.  Lay back, soak up the sun and sip a cocktail or two from one of the local beach bars or try out one of the water sports available (payable locally).  All in all a great way to spend a few hours in a tropical paradise.

Caribbean Scenic Railway Tour

No trip to this two-island federation is complete without the experience of traveling on the St. Kitts Scenic Railway, one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. This one-of-a-kind narrow gauge railroad was built almost a century ago to deliver sugar cane from the fields to the sugar mill in the capital city of Basseterre. The railway now provides a fascinating way to see the island from the comfort of double-deck railcars built specifically for touring the island of St. Kitts. All guests have a seat on both levels of the railcar. The upper level features a spacious open-air observation deck with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The lower level provides air-conditioned comfort with expansive six-foot vaulted windows. Island ambiance is evoked with comfortable rattan furniture, complimentary specialty drinks, island music sung by the Scenic Railway Choir, and a colorful narrative history of the Caribbean On this memorable journey, the railway hugs the Northeastern coastline where rippling fields of sugarcane stretch from the shoreline up to the mountains. The high volcanic peaks rise nearly 4,000 feet above sea level, coated with lush green rainforests. The train rolls across tall steel bridges spanning deep "ghuts", or canyons, and winds through small villages and farms. Your railway tour Narrator will point out abandoned sugar estates with overgrown chimneys and windmills, and provide insight into the island's unique history. 

Your experience is complimented by a scenic drive on board the Scenic Railway's sightseeing buses along the Southwestern coast. Enjoy excellent vistas of Brimstone Hill Fortress, the British "Gibraltar of the West Indies;" Middle Island where Thomas Jefferson's great-grandfather is buried, and the neighboring island of Nevis, birthplace of American statesman Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the U.S. Treasury.
