St Kitts offers almost 70 square miles of diverse ecosystems, a year-round temperature of 78 degrees F, wide open spaces for recreation, and a government committed to responsible stewardship of its enviroment.
As described by Traveling Tips on JGXY.org, by Justin Burch, "The outdoor culture of St. Kitts revolves around Mt. Liamuiga, the majestic dormant volcano at the center of the island. These tours take visitors through stretches of vine-encrusted forest complete with colorful Caribbean birds, butterflies and precocious green vervet monkeys. In fact, some of the most popular activities on the island are the hiking tours that scale the peak and peer into its crater. Several tour companies offer day trips to the great dormant volcano?s crater ? a 1,000-foot deep bowl complete with a small freshwater lake.
"With a landscape unlike any other in the Caribbean, St. Kitts has quickly become one of the region?s favorite destinations for mountain biking. At the island?s interior, miles of trails wind through the rainforest surrounding Mt. Liamuiga (but these can be difficult for all but the most accomplished riders). Bikers and hikers of all ages and skill levels can enjoy the trails that wind through the countryside and provide one of the most relaxing ways to see St. Kitts? unique Caribbean landscape.
"As several tour operators now cater to bikers and hikers, there are tours to suit any age or skill level. Experienced riders usually venture to the island?s mountainous center, while casual riders and hikers can enjoy the sugar cane fields and rolling hills near the coast. If you want to experience the natural beauty of St. Kitts on your own, you can also rent mountain bikes and other outdoor equipment from your hotel or local sporting shops. If you are looking for a simple hike to undertake on your own, try Monkey Hill or Verchild?s Peak. These modest climbs don?t require any special equipment and can be achieved by families and novice hikers.
"Depending on your interests, you can schedule a tour that will offer unique sites and teach you anything you want to know about the Caribbean."
If you come to enjoy hiking or riding on St Kitts, be sure and stop by our Coldwell Banker office and say "hello."
