St. Kitts Rainforest Adventure

Experience the rare beauty of St Kitts' rich reservoir of biodiversity on this rainforest hike. Departing from the pier, your St. Kitts Rainforest Adventure tour takes you to a mysterious world of the lush mountain rainforest.

Your first stop is at the botanical gardens of Romney Manor, home to Caribelle Batik. Here, you will have approximately 30 minutes of free time to stroll the gardens, visit the demonstration area on Batik, take pictures, purchase a cold drink or, if you so choose, shop.

You will then make your way to nearby Wingfield Estate, at an elevation of 400 feet above sea level, and set out on a guided hike along the Wingfield forest trail. See a rainforest alive with exotic plants like heliconias, bamboo, ferns, palms and elephant ears that festoon the area. Sample some of the local fruits along the way. The area is also abundantly alive with caterpillars and colorful lizards. The hike is tailored to the interests of the group. Some groups may do more walking, going as far as the Wingfield River, where a crossing is made on rocks in ankle-deep water.

Other groups may be more interested in an in-depth, up-close look at the incredible tropical foliage and flowers, looking for beautiful songbirds and hummingbirds in the trees under the canopy of creepers and vines. These groups usually cover very little distance during their time in the rainforest. You will observe the drop in temperature and increase in moisture as you venture deeper into the forest.

After your hike, you will be returned to the pier.
