About this experience
Our highly popular Capital City Tour & Beach Splash combines a brief city tour and a relaxing half-day on one of our lovely beaches, making for a memorable day on St. Kitts. Your tour begins with a drive into the city of Basseterre, where your expert guide will reveal top-rated landmarks, historic architecture, rich heritage, unique island culture, and shopping opportunities.
Hop back aboard for a memorable cruise to the lovely Southeast Peninsula of St. Kitts. Here amid the Caribbean breezes, swaying palms, and relaxing sun, your tropical fantasies will unfold. When you are ready to take a dip, cool off in the crystal-clear waters of Cockleshell Bay. Or grab a snorkel and explore an amazing underwater ecosystem. If you prefer to relax on Frigate Beach or South Friar Beach, we would be delighted to take you there.
