St. Kitts (Basseterre), Saint Kitts & Nevis

St. Kitts Scenic Railway

“The Last Railway in the West Indies” Relax and take in the view on a scenic and historic train ride into the magnificent heart of an unspoiled country. Transfer with your guide to the island’s Needsmust Station, where you will board the only railcars of their kind in the world. The “Island Series” of the St. Kitts Scenic Railway are double-decked, with an open air observation platform on top that puts you high above the sugarcane and island vegetation. You can also watch the lush countryside pass by from the lower air-conditioned parlor, featuring huge six-foot vaulted windows, colorful artwork by local artists and charming rattan furnishings. Skirt the volcanic slopes of Mt. Liamuiga, cross numerous tall steel-girder bridges, see dramatic black-sand beaches and pass crumbling plantations. Along the way, gaze upon sweeping vistas of nearby Nevis, St. Bart’s, St. Martin, Saba and St. Eustatius. Enjoy complimentary drinks and an engaging and fascinating narration throughout the journey. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
