Volcano Crater Hiking Tour in St Kitts
St Kitts, St Kitts and Nevis
Experience the heights of St. Kitts with a hike to the top of Mt. Liamuiga, an extinct volcano. This spectacular tour takes you into the rainforest, providing close-up views of giant forest trees and swinging vines while you climb. The 8-hour roundtrip Volcano Crater Tour is an adventure not to be missed.
Your excursion begins with a 1-hour drive by Land Rover to the base of Mt. Liamuiga, a 3,792-foot (1,156-meter) extinct volcano which forms the western part of the island of St. Kitts.
You will begin your journey to Mt. Liamuiga with a vigorous 2.5-hour hike up the mountain and through the rainforest, observing giant forest trees, beautiful flowers and swinging vines. Your tour guide will point out different plants and animal life on the island. At the top, view the entire island, the beautiful Caribbean Sea and neighboring islands including St. Barts and Nevis.
Next, your guide will set you up with a picnic lunch. After lunch, walk back down to the trail base where the Land Rover is parked and head back to your St. Kitts hotel.
Please Note: sneakers, long pants required. Individuals should be in good physical condition.
A bit strenuous for an old man but a worthwhile experience. Bring plenty of water and be prepared for the view at the top to be hidden by the clouds.

Our tour guide was fantastic. We had a group of 7 on our hike- 3 younger hikers, 4 older hikers. The guide did a great job making sure everyone could catch up and catch a break when they needed it. NOTE: we didn't have any cruise ship passengers on our hike- if we did, we would not have had this luxury, as they are more time-crunched.

Went on a boat instead, tour company was nice enough to switch and recommend when our tour did not have enough people signed up.
