SCENIC RAILWAY RIDE & ISLAND DRIVE
Known to be the “Last Railway in the West Indies”, the St. Kitts scenic railway train has been welcoming visitors with the beauty of the island since 2003. Before that, the line was used to transport sugarcane from the fields to the sugar mill in Basseterre, something the trains reliably did from 1912 onwards. The route will take you up along the north-eastern coastline, while you relax and enjoy unlimited complimentary drinks onboard.
This train features a second open-sided observation deck from which you’ll be able to enjoy island views all along the route. Your onboard guide will provide information on key points of interest, such as former sugar estates, abandoned windmills, chimneys, the first settlements of British and French colonialists, the places where native tribes once lived, the 17th-/18th-century Brimstone Hill Fortress and numerous other places of historical importance. The train ride will be followed by a coach ride along the island and eastern coastline before you return to the ship.
Please note: the order in which the tour is run may be reversed. Guests are recommended to wear comfortable clothing and comfortable shoes
