Traveler Reviews

Captain Sunshine and his wife were our guides on this tour which was billed as a 45-minute rainforest hike, Romney Manor and Caribelle Batik tour by the ship. We drove from the ship to Romney Manor and Batik store on the two lane road that goes all around the island in open air busses, so we had good views and it wasn’t hot. We spent about 40 minutes shopping at Romney Manor/batik store before starting the hike into the rainforest. The highlight of the grounds was a 400- year old tree with a message! (See photos) We left our purchases locked up in the cab of one of the buses so we wouldn’t have to take them on our hike, and it’s a good thing we did! The hike was much longer than 45 minutes, and involved steep climbs, avoiding not only the mossy, slippery rocks but also water pipes embedded in the ground to collect the water from the rain and transport it to homes and buildings below. We even had to ford a stream, stepping on rocks so as not to get wet. (See photo) Fortunately, no

Nothing what we expected this excursion from our cruise to be! It said, nature, wildlife and flowers. Our tour guide was obsessed about the trees, the tree names and what we can do with every tree for medicine or eating. We spotted a bunch of monkeys and were so excited but our tour guide said "it's sad the new government doesn't let us kill them anymore because they eat and ruin all the crops". Then proceed to continue on the tour without even talking about what kind of monkeys or how they even got here. He didn't care we saw a bunch of hummingbirds our tour guide was more interested in picking and handing us a lemon leaf or all of us touching an aloe plant. Once we got into the rainforest we noticed the tour walked along the pipe line, it was dirty and nothing scenic about the area at all. He explained every tree in sight but forgot to mention the cool millipede we spotted and walked away when we pointed it out. I really thought this tour was about nature and not trees because I wo

Our tour started later than the planned 9 am start - most things in St Kitts start later than planned -with a tour of part of the island on our way to the rainforest. We stopped at a Batik store and then joined others for our hike. Our guide, Captain Junior, was knowledgeable and even ran back to buy water for participants that weren’t prepared for the heat. The hike proceeds at the pace of the group and similarly the length of the hike is determined by the group abilities rather than your personal preference. Saw a lot of interesting plants but no animals. We were near the zip line route so I think the noise scared them away. Overall a nice experience.

We had a fantastic time on this excursion with our guide Janeel. He was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning about St. Kitts and it’s history from him. Unfortunately we had to cut our tour short because one of our group was not feeling well and Janeel went above and beyond to assist us — even offering up a local remedy to try and help. We loved St. Kitts and I would highly recommend this excursion!

My wife and I just got done touring the rainforest with Captain Junior, he was very great to talk to and a wonderful tour guide! We will be sure to visit here again if we come back!
