About this experience
The Tropical Rain forest Explorer tour is for the casual explorer who dreams of being fully submerged in the lush flora and fauna of what St Kitts has to offer. We start off at one of the oldest and historically wealthiest sugar plantation on the island of St. Kitts. Just a short walk away we will then be fully blanketed by the thick tropical canopy that hugs the winding Wing field River which is filled with volcanic rocks and occasional flowing fresh spring water. With this tour your senses will be soothed by the cool humid tropical air on your skin, your mind relaxed with the sound of the sweeping wind atop the canopy, your vision filled with flora and fauna and all this with a knowledgeable local guide.
