About this experience
This excursion is a wonderful experience for a nature walk in St. Kitts' main central reserve national forest! This operator-led hike of various levels is a great way to connect with nature and enjoy its therapeutic benefits. The lush greenery, flowing river, giant trees, and wildlife like birds and Vervet monkeys all contribute to a peaceful and rejuvenating experience.
After this, supporting local vendors by trying out coconut water, local drinks, or rum at the Wingfield Sugar estate is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the local culture. Additionally, visiting the Caribelle Batik Botanical Garden for a shopping/historical tour will add another dimension to your nature walk experience.
Remember to take your time, breathe in the fresh air, and appreciate the beauty of your surroundings. Enjoy your forest bathing experience in St. Kitts!
