Bahamas? Nope. Too busy. Virgin Islands? Nope. Too played out. Jamaica? Nope. Too trendy. Aruba? Nope. Muuuuurda.
So where do you go on your Caribbean vacation? Well, if you’re like me, you want to really get away from it all. The smaller islands are a great idea.
Many people like the larger resorts, but I like the smaller islands. The little out of the way places are even more peaceful that the resorts, but they still have great bars and restaurants. Most times, there’s something for just about everyone in your travel party: Ecotourism, history, lazy beaches, and often tours of the local rum distilleries.
The tiny islands of St. Kitts and Nevis are growing in popularity lately, so if you want to go, you better go quickly. Soon, they will be just as commercialized as the rest of the Caribbean. In case you’re still conflicted, Google these great attractions in St. Kitts and Nevis. They’re sure to help you make up your mind:
- Pelican Cove – a fantastic snorkel destination, with multiple species of reef creatures visible year round
- St. Kitts top Nevis Party Cruise – adults only! This day cruise between the islands is on a 50 ft sail yacht
- Zip Line Canopy Tour – five zip lines on this 2.5-hour tour
- St Kitts Historic Rail Tour – a three hour tour in a luxurious railcar with an open-air observation deck on the upper level
- Horseback Tours – over gentle terrain above sugarcane fields to the ruins of an old sugar mill and take in gorgeous views of the lush hillsides before entering the rainforest
- Mt. Liamuig – an extinct volcano you can hike up, swinging on vines along the way
