Tours & Activities in Saint Kitts and Nevis

Saint Kitts and Nevis was the first Caribbean island to be colonised by Europeans, settled by the British in 1623.

The federation is one of the smallest countries in the Western Hemisphere by both area and population, with just over 46,000 residents across two islands.

Brimstone Hill Fortress, a 17th-century military stronghold on Saint Kitts, is one of the largest and best-preserved forts in the Caribbean and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The islands are part of the Leeward Islands and sit in the hurricane belt, though they experience fewer direct hits than other Caribbean destinations due to their southern latitude.

Saint Kitts and Nevis gained independence from Britain in 1983 and has one of the most stable and prosperous economies in the Eastern Caribbean.

The national dish is stewed saltfish and breadfruit, reflecting the islands' African and colonial heritage.
