Itinerary

Basseterre

Passing by

Begin your day with a city tour of Basseterre, our capital, where 18th-century structures blend with modern developments. This Old French town features remnants of unused slave quarters and the vibrant energy of a business day.

On the tour, you'll see key landmarks, including the Immaculate Conception Catholic Co-Cathedral, Warner Park (hosts international football and cricket), St. George’s Anglican Church, and Government Headquarters.
Stop 2

Passing by

Explore the bustling center of Basseterre at our main taxi stand, located near three former international banks, a national museum, and the iconic Berkeley Memorial clock. Discover the historical significance of this fountain, which stands in the heart of our town and features four faces pointing toward the connecting streets.
Independence Square

Passing by

Independence Square in Basseterre is a beautiful compact public square, now serving as a venue for trade fairs, lunch breaks, or simply enjoying nature and the birds during a busy workday. Its shape resembles the Union Jack, and at its center lies a foundation that adds to its charm. Once an old slave market, this area has transformed into a peaceful and tranquil space.
Bloody River

5 min

This site connects visitors to the emotions and history of the massacre that took place in this region, where Europeans fought against the Amerindians for settlers' rights.

There will also be local vendors available.
Challengers

5 min

Just a minute’s drive beyond Bloody River lies a breathtaking vantage point overlooking the historic community of Old Road, stretching all the way to the Brimstone Hill Forest. From here, the island unfolds in layers of history and beauty: the neatly cultivated fields of St. Kitts, the majestic rise of Mount Liamuiga—visible on a clear day beyond the drifting clouds—and the silhouettes of neighboring islands on the horizon. This stop offers more than just a photo opportunity; it invites reflection. As we gaze over the remnants of former British settlements, the lush mountains, the distant volcano, and the imposing Brimstone Hill, we weave together commentary that bridges past and present, connecting the landscapes before us with the stories they hold.
Wingfield Estate Sugar Plantation Ruins

30 min

Nestled in the historic town of Old Road, Wingfield Estate is situated at the base of the island's central mountain range, surrounded by lush landscapes. The estate includes the Wingfield rainforest and watershed, which supplies up to three-quarters of the island's water.

The site showcases original crops like tobacco and indigo and illustrates the harvesting and preservation of sugar cane. Visitors can learn about the evolution of cane crushing methods—from animal and water-driven techniques to steam power—while exploring the ruins of the original rum distillery.

Enjoy local culture with a taste of the island's rum or a freshly made non-dairy smoothie, and listen for the friendly Vervet monkeys. Local vendors and restrooms are also available.
Stop 7

30 min Admission included

Immerse yourself in a stunning botanical garden featuring over 14 different types of palm trees, complemented by a tour of a batik factory and an accompanying gift shop. You can also relax at the rainforest bar while watching and listening to the wildlife around you. This site was once owned by Amerindian Chief Tegreman and shares historical connections with the ancestors of America's Thomas Jefferson, as well as the Early family of Romney. It's the perfect location for a photoshoot!
Timothy Hill

15 min

Timothy Hill is the perfect way to conclude your excursion in St. Kitts. Standing approximately 179 meters (587 feet) above sea level, you'll enjoy stunning views of the island's most affluent areas. You'll see picturesque green mountains, rolling hills, and colorful houses nestled on the slopes. On one side, you can take in the breathtaking sight of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, visible together in one frame. On a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of our sister island, Nevis, along with other nearby islands. Local vendors are available to enhance your experience.
