Saint Kitts

The island is very beautiful, but our overall impression was completely ruined by dishonest “tour guides” and taxi drivers working there. We experienced a situation where we agreed that at the end of the excursion we would be taken to a specific beautiful beach for swimming. Instead of taking us to a proper beach, the guide spent the time driving us around local souvenir shops. At the end of the tour, the guide refused to take us to the agreed beach. We insisted and ended up going back to the port to find a taxi driver who could take us to the beach we wanted. In the end, when we paid less than the agreed amount because the deal was not fully fulfilled and we were not taken to the promised beach, the tour guide started threatening us with a KNIFE. We were in such shock that there was no question of going anywhere with local taxi drivers afterward. Fortunately, the police intervened in time. As a result, we were extremely disappointed, because we never even got a chance to swim. My father also faced a situation where he was taken to a beach, but they refused to take him back for the agreed price and demanded four times more, threatening to leave him on an unknown beach. My advice to tourists: be very careful with local “service providers.” You can easily get into serious trouble.

This island has it all! Rainforests! Historic rum distillery! Gorgeous overlooks! We skipped the ship excursion and found Mrs Veronica (10/10 recommend... The only female guide. You can't miss her!) in the port for a tour. It was an AMAZING and educational day!

The island is beautiful and is one of the best places I have been to. I went for 1 week and everyday was another adventure. The beaches are stunning and very calm. The snorkeling is excellent and I would recommend it. I would also recommend the atv ride as it was very fun.

Spent a day here as part of our Caribbean Cruise and booked a beach day at Carambola Beach. The cruise ships stop in Basseterre so also a chance to stroll around the shops as the beach excursion was only a 4-hour duration. One of the nicest islands we visited on this cruise, beach was lovely, with a good bar and food available, friendly people and just a nice easy going experience.

Love this place. Best port shopping experience. We were here a couple months ago as well. At Caribbean ports I usually find myself following my wife around, but the shopping area as you get off the ship is very nice and I found myself finding allot of variety. Very clean. A bit more expensive than other Islands. Will add more comments and photos once we disembark.

Our favorite stop on our Caribbean cruise. We loved touring the rum distillery ruins and seeing where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Would love to go back!

it was an absolutely breathtaking experience. The island is filled with lush greenery and crystal clear waters, making it the perfect destination for nature lovers. The beaches are absolutely stunning and are perfect for swimming, sunbathing and snorkeling. The locals are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the island is relatively undiscovered, meaning that it is not overly crowded. I also had the opportunity to visit the historical sites, such as Brimstone Hill Fortress, which was a fascinating glimpse into the island's past.

We took a tour from the guys at the port. We got a van for the 6 of us. ($20 each, and tipped him extra after the tour). Clifford was our driver. He has lived there his entire life...stopped where we wanted, and answered any questions. It was a great day. We covered the entire island. Enjoy the pics!
