Saint Kitts and Nevis

St Kitts and Nevis are an undiscovered duo of supreme beauty and languidity. There is nowhere else in the Caribbean with such remarkable examples of grand architecture, beautiful plantation inns and rickety old sugar mills. When it comes to outdoor activities though, visitors will find plenty of areas to do a bit of snorkelling or diving, two water sports the islands are well known for. Hiking and horse riding, is also popular on both islands, with absolutely stunning scenery to photograph whilst out there.

The best way to get around St Kitts or Nevis is by public bus or hire car. The buses are minivans, which take tourists round most of the islands except Frigate Bay and the southeastern cape. The bus service has no schedule though, but there's so many of them from dawn till dusk, that the wait is not very long. With lush forests and a dormant volcano, St Kitts and it's sister island Nevis are often called 'the secret The Caribbean.' St Kitts was an British colony for hundreds of years, and the legacy lingers with afternoon tea and Cricket.
