🌴 My St. Kitts vacation last month was an absolute dream come true! From exploring the historic capital of Basseterre to soaking up the sun on pristine beaches, every moment was unforgettable. 😍We started our adventure by immersing ourselves in the rich history of Basseterre. Independence Square was buzzing with life, and the National Museum was a treasure trove of fascinating stories. But nothing compared to the awe-inspiring views from Brimstone Hill Fortress! 🏰Exploring the rainforest was an adventure like no other! We hiked through lush greenery, spotting vibrant wildlife along the way. And ziplining through the canopy? Pure adrenaline rush! 🌳Romney Manor provided a serene contrast with its beautiful botanical gardens, and learning about the art of batik was so inspiring! 🌺The catamaran cruise was the highlight of our trip! Snorkeling in crystal-clear waters and lounging on deck with a Caribbean cocktail in hand? Perfection! 🛥️Cockleshell Beach was our little slice of paradise, with soft sands and tranquil vibes. It was the ultimate relaxation spot! 🏖️The scenic railway tour was a delightful way to soak in the island's beauty. The views of the coastline were breathtaking, and riding in a historic train added a unique charm to the experience.I definitely recommend taking the Sky Riderising 700 feet (210 meters) to the top of Flag Hill it's about a 7 minute ride definitely worth the trip in order to see the entire island from a top and see the views they're absolutely breath-taking and wonderful!🚂 I had the wonderful opportunity during my stay to meet a local artist and I was able to sit at the top of the hill end and witness her painting this specifically for me and bring it home as a souvenir what an awesome experience.Wrapping up with a leisurely beach day was the perfect ending to our trip! St. Kitts, you stole our hearts! 💖As a U.S. citizen traveling abroad, remember to stay prepared and respectful of local customs. And don't forget to bring your sense of adventure! 🌏✈️Thank you, St. Kitts, for an unforgettable experience! We'll cherish these...
Read moreThe Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is an extremely well maintained Georgian Fort in St. Kitts with astoundingly breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and seascape in some areas. The Fort is kept in a really great shape and the original structures and walkways are still in reasonably well preserved condition.
Two or more aspects of the Fort exist, at least from my perspective; The astoundingly breathtaking panoramic views and The fort itself. The view changes depending on the direction of observation and they are all spectacular. The grounds and structures are in great shape giving the impression of recent abandonment rather than centuries ago. Re-visiting history requires little effort/imagination and the past comes alive in a real way. The whole experience was quite enlightening and well worth the trip.
The Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park ia definite must see/experience for anyone in St. Kitts. A rather interesting and phenomenal point of interest well...
Read moreMy wife and I thoroughly enjoyed touring Brimstone Hill Fortress. The drive itself to and from was amazing. We saw plenty of wild monkeys on the way in. There is a small fee and you can purchase headphones that provide you with a narrated tour if you choose to do so. My wife opted for those but I did not. Expect to spend a few hours here if you want to explore it all. There is the main fort (the tallest one) and plenty of smaller forts and ruins surrounding it. We explored the tall fort and it's an amazing walk up and down. The views from the top are quite possibly the best on the island. You can see the ocean and mountains both from the top. There is a small souvenir shop at the bottom if you want to purchase souvenirs and/or a drink. If you only break away from beach activities for one day while on St. Kitts then I highly recommend touring Brimstone Hill Fortress. You...
