Activities

Before venturing out to other parts of the island, take a short stroll around our capital of Basseterre, the first

French capital town in the West Indies. Wander around Independence Square and the Circus. Then head straight

for our most famous historical attraction, Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park. In addition to the rich history of
this World Heritage site, the fortress provides breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and neighboring

islands. For an unforgettable encounter with nature, plan a day in our ever-expanding forest. Here you can zip line,
or just hike one of the many trails of varying difficulty. Or you can head out to sea for an incredible fishing, kayak,

or scuba experience just off shore and swim with fish of every stripe and color. Whatever you do, try to leave no
stone unturned. There’s more to St. Kitts than meets the eye, and every bit of it is worth discovering for yourself.
