About St. Kitts & Nevis
Overflowing with magnificent natural wonders, the tiny dual-island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis borders the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea as the smallest sovereign state in the western hemisphere.
The island is alive with nature’s bounty and vibrant wildlife. From the breathtaking National Park and Crater Lake to the magnificent coral beds, myriad species of birds and green vervet monkeys, St. Kitts engages all the senses.

Overview
Wisdom says you should never look down when climbing or ziplining across cliffs, but on St. Kitts, it would be such a shame to miss all the remarkable sights below as you glide through the rainforest.
Nevis provides the perfect antidote to the stresses of modern life with its luxury resorts and championship golf courses amid heavenly blue skies, world-famous beaches, and endless horizons.
This two-island paradise provides double the action and relaxation in one altogether enchanting Caribbean vacation.
