Imagine an island that has set aside more than a quarter of its land as a National Park, with a rain forest that is actually expanding in size rather than shrinking. This is St. Kitts. An island surrounded by new and untouched dive sites, marked by massive beds of coral, teeming with fish of every stripe and color.
Here you will be surrounded by wildlife, from chattering gray-green monkeys and scurrying families of mongoose, to roaming cows, goats, and black-bellied sheep.
Here you can drive or hike through the Valley of Giants, zip line over the rainforest or climb up to sit yourself in the cradle of Sofa Rock, once the very cap of a still smoldering volcano that you can climb to the very edge of, then be guided down 1000 feet to its steaming crater floor.
There’s really no bad time to go to St Kitts and Nevis. The hot Caribbean summer contrasts with cool low-season deals at the resorts.
Winter days average a temperature of 81°F (27°C) while summers shoot up to a still respectable 86°F (30°C).
