This St Kitts tour lasts about four to five hours and includes private air-conditioned transportation with pickup from hotels, the airport, and the cruise port. The tour guarantees a timely return to the ship. It begins with a visit to the Berkeley Memorial, a historic drinking fountain located in the heart of Basseterre. The next stop is Independence Square, where participants have about fifteen minutes and may try local food if they wish. The tour then passes by Her Majesty's Prison, built in 1840 and originally designed for 82 inmates but once holding over 300. Visitors see St George’s Anglican Church, the largest church in Basseterre, followed by Government Headquarters on Church Street, the island’s main hospital, and Carib Brewery, the only brewery on St Kitts. The largest university on the island, which includes American and Canadian veterinary schools, is also visited. At Bloody Point, the site of a massacre of over 2,000 Kalinago people by European colonists, the history is explained. Old Road Town features Kalinago rock drawings dating back to 2500 BC, with a fifteen-minute stop. The Wingfield Estate Sugar Plantation Ruins, a water-powered sugar plantation, are next with a fifteen-minute visit. Nearby is an old rum distillery uncovered after heavy rains; visitors have the option to sample local rum during a ten-minute stop. The Wingfield-Phillips Rain Forest Nature Trail offers a ten-minute walk to see the rainforest and hear local birds. The tomb of Sir Thomas Warner, who died in 1649, is shown, along with the island’s only boat yard and a nearby shipwreck still visible in the ocean. Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is included for sightseeing. Sandy Point Town features the island’s oldest Catholic church, where John Newton, author of Amazing Grace, was once ordained. Dieppe Bay Town is where the Atlantic and Caribbean seas meet, viewed before arriving at Timothy Hill. At Timothy Hill, guests have about fifteen minutes to meet and photograph the island’s green vervet monkeys and to see panoramic views of Frigate Bay. The tour includes about one hour at Frigate Bay Beach, where participants may relax on the beach, purchase lunch from several bars, and visit Inon's beach bar, a local gathering spot. The final part of the tour covers a full downtown Basseterre tour lasting about one hour, including visits to the war memorial, historical churches, and a return to the Berkeley Memorial. The tour concludes with a fifteen-minute visit to Port Zante to see additional attractions before returning to the cruise port. Bottled water and local brewed beverages from the island’s brewery are provided during the tour. Lunch is not included but can be purchased at the beach from various bars. This tour offers behind-the-scenes access to local sites and culture, combined with beach time and private transport throughout the island.
