Overview
ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this productStop At: Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park, Main Road St. KittsThe Fortress, constructed intermittently between the 1690s and 1790s, is of singular importance as being the remains of a large, complete military community of the 18th century. As such, it is a veritable time capsule of international significance.The prominent Citadel is one of the earliest and finest surviving examples of a new style of fortification known as the 'polygonal system'.Brimstone Hill is nearly 800 feet high with steep and precipitous slopes which had to be tamed by the disciplines of engineering and architecture, and at the risk and probable loss of human lives. The walls of the structures are predominantly of stone, labouriously and skilfully fashioned from the hard volcanic rock of which the hill is composed. The mortar to cement the stones was produced on site from the limestone which covers much of the middle and lower slopes. The Fortress is virtually a man-made out growth of the natural hill.The physical location of the Fortress presents attractive panoramic vistas of forested mountains, cultivated fields, the historical township of Sandy Point, and neighbouring Dutch, English and French islands across the Caribbean Sea.Duration: 25 minutesStop At: Black Rocks, Atlantic coast Outside town of Sadlers St. KittsBlack Rocks ,also referred to as Black Stone, is the name of a notable rock formation on the northeastern coast of the island of Saint Kitts. Located close to the town of Saddlers, the rocks consist of lava flow from the volcanic Mount Liamuiga which dominates the northern half of the island of Saint KittsDuration: 10 minutesStop At: Romney Manor, Old Road Town, Basseterre St. KittsSet in approximately 8 acres, these grounds have considerable history dating back to the 1600s. Prior to the island's European conquest, which began in 1623, there is strong evidence that Carib Indian Chief Tegreman’s village occupied the site. Petroglyphs located on the Wingfield Estate attest to the presence of Amerindians at some point during the property's history.Most of the activity on the property, has been growing & distilling sugar cane. Over the years, its owners have witnessed the crushing of cane by animal, water, and steam power. This all changed in the 1920s as the cane processing became centralized in the nation's capital, Basseterre. The Wingfield Estate grew, harvested, and loaded sugar cane until the mid-2000s, that's 350 years! Romney Manor became a batik enterprise in the 1970s under the tutelage of its current owner. Wingfield Estate began its transition to the beautiful gardens and active archeological site it is today in the 2000s, when the St. Kitts government discontinued all sugar cane operations on the island.Many visitors frequently express a sense of spirituality while enjoying the gardens and grounds. An all-time favourite is our magnificent Saman tree, the largest living organism in St. Kitts. It is over 400 years old, 24 ft in circumference, and covers ½ acre. Just imagine the stories it could tell. Many visitors return time and time again to savour this memorable experience. The present owner feels more a sense of stewardship than ownership, recognizing the magnificent Saman tree as the true owner of all it surveys.Duration: 15 minutesPass By: The Circus, Bay Road Bank Street Fort Street, Basseterre St. KittsThe Berkeley Memorial was erected in 1883 and was for a long time the only public memorial commemorating an individual in St. Kitts. It was dedicated to the memory of Thomas Berkeley Hardtman Berkeley, a legislator and owner of the estates called Fountain, Greenland, Greenhill, Ottleys, Shadwell and Stone Fort.Pass By: Berkeley Memorial, Basseterre St. KittsTHE WAR MEMORIAL was originally unveiled in 1926 at the place now occupied by the Post Office. It honoured the men who died in the First World War.Stop At: Timothy Hill, Street to South End St. KittsTimothy Hill is a

Traveler Reviews

We did the Full Island Tour today with Annie and were not disappointed! She is truly a lovely lady. She picked us up as arranged from our hotel and then took us to Port Zante where another couple joined us. Her van is modern, clean and the comfortable ride and air conditioning were appreciated, she is very Covid secure and provided sanitiser etc for us all. Annie has lived on the island for over 40 years and everyone seemed to know her along the way, in our opinion she went above and beyond and is a font of knowledge on everything. The tour included our entrance fees to Brimstone Hill and to Romney Manor Caribelle Batik and I loved listening to Annie telling us about the plants, fruit and flowers along the way. We were given amble time to look round the sites we visited and did not feel rushed at all, as well as the sites mentioned above we also visited black rocks and Timothy Hill but Annie pointed out so much we would have missed along the way. When the tour had finished we

We wanted to see all the sites of St Kitts and upon reading the reviews decided to book with Annie…..to say this was a exceptional experience is an understatement! There was one ( if not the best ) tours and tour guides we’ve all been on . From start to finish you will love this tour of St Kitts and love this company . Annie knows the island very well and in this tour you will experience it fully ( this is no nickel tour) We very much enjoyed our time together with Annie and our adult children and would highly recommend her company to anyone that wants to experience the sounds and sites of St Kitts !

Annie’s husband, Joseph, was our tour guide. He was excellent and very knowledgeable. We had a great time. We saw so much!

This was a great tour. The other couple didn't show so we got the tour to ourselves. The tour guide was great. we had a lot of fun. The guide was very knowledgeable. the tour is highly recommended.

Easy communication, good information! Annie has a special permit to take tourists on tour on the island, especially in Covid time. She handled the protocol very well, you can feel safe! Apart from that, she shared great views and excellent information about history of, life on and highlights of the island. She is a great host!
