St Kitts Shore Excursion: Discover St Kitts Tour
St Kitts, St Kitts and Nevis
Are you ready for a fun tour of one of the Caribbean’s most charming islands? Visit Basseterre, a town still depicting the structures of the French and English. Visit the site where slaves were sold (Independence Square formerly Pall Mall Square) which is today a beautiful garden. Time for shopping is also included on this must-do St. Kitts shore excursion.
On this St. Kitts shore excursion, you’ll start at the city of Basseterre and explore Independence Square; this former slave market is now a beautiful garden, flanked by colonial architecture from both England and France. You’ll also visit Romney Manor, site of the Caribelle Batik factory, which you can explore and tour at your leisure.
You’ll see artisans dyeing sea cotton to create batik paintings and other handicrafts, and the on-site store provides you with great shopping deals.
Your tour continues along to Frigate Bay, home to the island’s resorts and world-famous golf courses. You’ll be dropped off at one of the most exclusive beaches in the Caribbean for swimming. This St. Kitts cruise ship excursion concludes with transport to Port Zante where you'll board your ship.
Worry-free Shore Excursion: We will ensure your timely return to Basseterre for this activity. In the rare event your ship has departed, we will arrange for transportation to the next port-of-call. See our terms and conditions for full details.
Visited Romney Manor beatiful flora and fauna only saw 1 monkey. Took pic at the 400 year old tree. Learned a little about the island and then off to frigate beach. Best beach stop calm water lots of fish for snorkeling. Was able to really be in the water compare to other beach stop due to high wave

To be clear, everyone was friendly and professional. I just didn't find it very interesting, and it wasn't what I thought it would be. We took a tour that included a beach--it turns out the beach portion was just a drive by the tour was to the beach, but not for time spent at the beach. The first part was to an archeological dig of a 15th C rum distillery. Interesting, but there was one bathroom with a pad lock, and a dollar charge to go, which suddenly become 2 for someone after about 5 people paid to go. There were a lot of people hoping to get tipped who were informative, but it wasn't clear if they were officially part of the tour. The Batique store was interesting, in finding out how they did what they did. I had increased respect for a style of clothing I hadn't realized before took that much work to make, but other than that, the entire grounds were just little photo nooks, and shopping opportunities. Then we had the tour with a kind of taxi driver to the beach. It included some interesting realizations as to how St. Kitts was developing and recent investors, but which doesn't feel like an excursion. Of course, the port was just a big shopping place. All in all, I congratulate the people of St Kitts, but I'm not sure I have a feel for what it would be like to actually be there.

I enjoyed this excursion as I had never been to St. Kitts before. The guide gave a lot of good information and answered our questions. I especially liked Romney Manor and would have liked more time there to walk the grounds. The batik shop had excellent items and good prices. We enjoyed the fort which surprised me. It had a large number of photographic exhibits which were very informative so we learned a lot about the history of St. Kitts.

A very professionally organised tour and competitively priced. I will definitely use Viator in future.
Review by: Kim W, December 2017
I don't recommend this tour. Tour was supposed to start at 10 and we had to be there at 9:30. We arrived port at 9:25 and no representative. It was unclear where we were to leave from and had to ask three people before we finally found a rep at 9:40. They then asked us to pay more for the tour as they wanted to combine our tour with another because they didn't have enough for both. We had to wait for the bus and ended up leaving at 10:40. We basically went on the other tour and didn't stop at Independence square or the beach. I have no idea where the slave quarters are as there was no explanation of this. It was a taxi tour as the driver dropped us at the batik place and fort and we got no explanation of either. We didn't have time to go to the beach which is what we really wanted.
Review by: Maria H, December 2017
I give it a 3 star because the driver left us even though we were back to the agreed location at the agreed time , had to take taxi back to ship which cost us $12
Review by: Donald C, November 2017
We enjoyed seeing some of Basseterre and the St Kitts countryside, including Romney Manor and Caribelle Batik. We appreciated the extra time the guide gave us at the Frigate Bay beach.

Review by: Brenda A, September 2017
Truly amazing. Totally recommend it!
Review by: Martin S, May 2017
Juni was a very good tour guide and showed us the highlights of St Kitts. He took us to places that he thought would fit what we were looking for and was spot on most of the time.

Review by: cag, February 2017
Really got to see a lot of the island with an excellent guide and good driver. Someone was right there to meet us at right at cruise port as we got off ship. Comfortable bus was waiting. Never had been to St Kitts before so real informative tour with a lot efficiently squeezed into the 3 hours.. We were actually surprised at how good the buffet lunch was. Resturant was attractive and interesting. Staff pleasant as could be. No pressure for shopping.
Review by: Cesar A, February 2017
The tour was awsome,we got to the port and they were there waiting for us,our driver was very professional and friendly,he took us around the island and at the end to the beach where we had a good time.Don't forget to call them the day before so you know where to find them in the port.Exellent tour.
Review by: Roger S, February 2017
Really good and interesting overview of the island, rounded off with an hour on a lovely beach - the tour made even more enjoyable by our knowledgeable and friendly, driver, SQ.
Review by: Philip J, January 2017
Although it came as a surprise to us to leave the tour bus after one stop at the batik factory and take a taxi to the beach we did enjoy the tour. The beach was very crowded though there were five cruise ships in, a bit longer at the beach would have been good.
Review by: Daniel C, January 2017
The sightseeing portion was great, but the beach portion could have been in a nicer location and provided more guidance as to what facilities could be used.
Review by: Shirley H, December 2016
Great tour. SQ was very thorough in pointing out the highlights of their country. It was only 3 on the tour so it was like a private tour. We had fun and it is a beautiful place.
Review by: Wayne H, December 2016
The ship was unable to dock at St. Kitts due to the high winds on that day so we did not take part in this tour.
Review by: argunderson, December 2016
Very informative shore excursion with an excellent guide who was knowledgeable and very accommodating loved the beautiful scenery of St. Kitts and would love to return for a longer visit in the future!
Review by: muggs, December 2016
It is hard to review this excursion. We were on a cruise at the time and due to high winds, we could not come in to port that day.
Review by: Patricia A O, December 2016
Very good excursion. Driver was excellent. Saw parts of the island we had not seen in 3 other visits. Good experience.
Review by: Barbara A K, December 2016
Our cruise included eight ports of call - by far St. Kitts was the most beautiful. I am sure that this was due to the wonderful tour and friendly guide.
Review by: Rachele A M, December 2016
Was a good tour.
Review by: koolmom310, December 2016
The tour was informative and the beach amazing with the cleanest facilities and most amazing sand
Review by: Randall S, November 2016
Pretty island and nice beaches.
Review by: tenandlast, November 2016
We scheduled this tour independent of our cruise ship. We had a short delay at the start while waiting for another van to come pick up everyone. The tour itself was informative and the island is beautiful. We enjoyed the gardens around Romney House and the Batik shop very much. At this point we had to switch vans as some folks were going to the beach and some to the fort, while we were headed back to the ship. The tour guides were all very professional and the vans were in great shape and clean.
Review by: Nancy C, October 2016
Incude all fees for gardens and museums, I would prefer paying entire fee up front! Better price than Cruise Ship Prices.
Review by: kristen a, October 2016
amazing tour. Little too long at the beach for us but it was a nice tour and very informative over all.
Review by: pegm, September 2016
This tour was great. The staff were very professional and very accommodating
Review by: Marion, August 2016
Good tour, the bus was very crowded, but the tour guide was knowledgeable.
Review by: Annmarie A, August 2016
This is a beautiful island- very upscale. We experienced our tour in two phases. We started out with SQ, who drove us through Basseterre, gave us a history of the island and took us up to Carabelle Batik, where we saw how batik fabrics were made. Afterwards, we switched over to Junior, who took us to the beach Friars. On the way to the beach, he continued the educational tour of the island and took us to a picturesque location where the Atlantic and Caribbean seas were separated only by a thin roadway. On the whole, it was a fun day in a beautiful setting.
Review by: Melissa L, August 2016
Awesome tour and beautiful island. The tour guide SQ was great and i loved his saying here on this island, we rush slowly. I would definitely book this tour again!
Review by: tesha, July 2016
this tour was great, and the tour guide was very nice guy.
Review by: James P, July 2016
It would have been much nicer if we could have stopped at a better beach! Then it would have been perfect. We stop a a place were the water was too rough looking.
Review by: Vipin A, July 2016
This is one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean which was made more endearing by taking this trip.We visited a very interesting Batic making. Demonstration in a very pretty enviorement,and saw some incredibly scenic sights near the Marriott Hotel where there is the Atlantic Ocean on one side and Caribbean Sea on the other.My husband had great fun playing with little monkeys there and the tour guide was real fun and gave us a unique insight into the Islands weekend party culture and lovely carnival spirit.
Review by: Brian R, June 2016
This tour was great! Yiu get a comprehensive tour of St. Kitts for a great price!
Review by: Marjorie H, June 2016
The tour guides were very friendly and they were accommodating for those people on the tour that didn't want to go the beach. BOY DID THEY MISS A TREAT! The beach was beautiful and the water was so warm. If I ever get a chance to go back to St. Kitts i would spend the entire day at Friar's Bay Beach._br/_ The tour of the island was not that interesting. Typical poor island environment but the tour guides made the best of what we saw.
Review by: Joseph S, June 2016
Everyone arrived on time. The drivers were very knowledgeable and accommodating and answered any questions we had. The air-conditioned van was very comfortable and the beach was nice - not crowded and places to sit and have a drink or purchase food if you wanted food was expensive. The driver picked us up when he said he would. Very enjoyable for the whole family.
Review by: Dariusz D, June 2016
I recommend this tour, it was very good day.
Review by: Carol H, May 2016
Our ship was 2 1/2 hours late getting to St. Kitts. Your rep was there waiting for us and we had our own private tour with our guide SQ. He knew everything about the island and did a great job. Only good things to say...no negatives.
Review by: Kirsten G, May 2016
The tour was awesome. Our guide really knew about the island and enjoyed telling us about it. He made it really fun! We were really glad we were able to take the tour. I would say to anyone who is thinking about doing this tour - DO IT!! It is wonderful!!
Review by: woodpfc, March 2016
After a very apprehensive start, due to not being able to contact prior to tour as requested it was an excellent tour, very flexible as to staying longer on the beach at the end, guide was very friendly and knowledgeable
Review by: Sandy D, March 2016
Took the tour with our family including teenagers. Everyone enjoyed it. The beach stop was a nice location. We walked to the end of the beach and had free chairs with some good food and drinks for reasonable prices.
