Resplan
Old Road är en gammal fiskeby. I detta område finns en välkänd skaldjurrestaurang, Sprat Net och en fiskmarknad. På kort avstånd kommer din guide att köra av huvudvägen nära ett av hälsocentrerna till området Wingfield Estate. Du passerar Amerindians Petroglyph.
När du kör förbi Romney Batik (Caribelle Batik) får du en liten inblick i dess trädgårdar på väg till skogen. På kort avstånd från Romney börjar du se skogsvägen. Här kommer du ombord på fordonet och guiden kommer att ge en information och utföra promenadkäppar. När du börjar din två timmars promenad (en in i en ut ur skogen) kommer synen på Green Vervet Monkey och olika fåglarter att ses tillsammans med de olika typerna av flora. Ibland förblir aporna synliga, särskilt vid vissa tider på dagen. Turguiden kommer att presentera några av våra medicinalväxter / träd som Trumpets Bush, Black Sage & Sour Sop för att bara nämna några medan du vandrar genom denna exotiska del av skogen. Några av våra växter och träd har vuxit i höjd och tjocklek med frodiga buttressrötter, t.ex. Citrus, Saman och Locus träd. Denna turné passar personer med medelhög fysisk nivå (nivå 3 av 5). Man bör kunna gå uppför en kulle, genom smala stigar, över stenar, små stenar och inte ha några fysiska utmaningar. Om du är osäker är det alltid bäst att kontakta leverantören innan du bokar. Ett lätt mellanmål med bakverk och dryck serveras före ditt hotell eller hamn. REKOMMENDERA: Gå med vatten på flaska, bär slitstarka gymnastikskor, solskyddsmedel, lätta byxor eller shorts precis ovanför knäna, T- eller poloskjorta, blus eller valfri topp med korta ärmar.
Detta är på väg till skogen. Detta var en tidigare gård där tobak och indigo producerades orikt på 1600-talet men socker blev en mer framgångsrik och lönsam exportprodukt. Idag finns rester av en akvedukt, skorsten, kvarnhus (för att krossa sockerrör) och ett romdestilleri som upptäcktes 2013. En del av detta område kan ses när du reser in i regnskogen.

We were picked up by our guide right on time in front of the port building. We were a small group of four people. This was fantastic because the guide was able to explain things in much more detail. We took a bus ride of about 30 minutes to the rainforest. There, our hike through the stunning natural landscape of St. Kitts began. The guide took plenty of time to explain the different trees and plants to us. It was very interesting to hear that many of them have healing properties and are used as medicine. We saw so many amazing things. At the end, we could choose whether we wanted to take an easy route back or go on a little adventure. We opted for the second option. This led us up a small hill in the rainforest. There were ropes to hold onto. That was really fun. Afterwards, we had traditional pastries and a delicious, ice-cold passion fruit juice on the bus. Then we were taken back to the port. In total, we were out for about 3.5 hours. It was a great morning!
Very disappointed in Tropical Tours and TripAdvisor. We booked our Rain Forest tour the day before around noon. We confirmed the tour with a TripAdvisor representative on the phone who told us to be at the pick up location at 8:15. My credit card was charged within an hour. By 8:30 we called TripAdvisor who called the tour operator. They told us they did not see our reservation until the morning so they would not be picking us up. They never showed up and we could not go. Very disappointing!
Amazing light hike. Great way to familiarize yourself with the rainforest. Highly recommend. Definitely plan on hiking up to the volcano.
Absolutely brilliant had a great day. Our guide had agreat knowledge of all animals and plant life. Highly recommend 👌
We had an amazing time. The guide was very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the plants all throughout the hike. I highly recommend it.
Great time. Hike was almost 2 mile loop but our 7 year old had no problem with it! Be sure to have some water with you during the hike. Tour guides took us his home afterwards and gave us homemade banana bread and drinks! We loved it!
We enjoyed our trip through the rainforest. Our guide was very informative; he had grown up next to the forest and spent lots of time playing there as a child. He shared stories from his childhood experiences, pointed out characteristics of different plants such as healing properties, food options, and sound capabilities (ficus). He even disproved the movie myth of Tarzan swinging on vines. Afterward, he shared raisin bread and passion fruit juice made by his family! Ask about St. Kitts’ national alcohol……
Greetings Lecole, It is so appreciative when our customers take the time to also explain what occurs on a rainforest tour. We thank you for giving others an insight to what to expect. Thank you for visiting St Kitts and booking with Tropical Tours.
For lovers of nature, history, herbalism or distilleries, this is the right tour! We soaked up all we could learn, enjoyed the time hiking in the rainforest, and walked away with a new appreciation for natural medicine. Our knowledgable guide had so much to share. We were pleasantly surprised with the "extra" things he went out of his way to show us. This half-day tour is a good option for those who arrive by ship. The timing allowed us a few remaining hours on shore near the port to explore/shop/dine on our own.
Hello Heather Thank you for visiting St. Kitts. Your comprehensive review will certainly encourage others to book this tour. We certainly appreciate you leaving a review. Best regards
Mr Rogers fitted in this rainforest walk for us at short notice and we were so glad it was possible. He was relaxed, chatty and put us at ease, adapting the tour to our particular interests (my husband is a naturalist). We walked through the rainforest for more than three hours as he pointed out fruit and nut trees, butterflies and evidence of the local vervet monkeys. It was fascinating to hear about the use of the plants, knowledge which is still held largely orally and which he has learned from older community members and family. The impression came over of a living pharmacy that people would walk into to get the cures they needed - some still used by older people today. It was quite different from the UK woods that we know! This was a manageable walk over rough paths, and we chose to climb a steep bank to the ridge (an easier alternative was available). I was grateful for the advice of an earlier reviewer to take the offered stick for the walk. We ended up with a welcome glass of cold juice and a tasty coconut pastry treat before being taken back to our meeting point in the open-sided buses used on the island. If you are averagely/reasonably fit and into nature, this tour is highly recommended. It is on the same site as the zip-wire experience if you fancy an overhead view of the rainforest as well! (completely separate tour) We did not but others were buzzing past overhead and having a great time by the look of it.
We were lucky to have the Owner who took good care of us on this trip. Our ship docked at a different port and he had people at both ports looking for us. Then we found out he was our tour guide as well, once we were gathered up with everyone. At any rate it would be considered an easy hike if you are in shape and I would say it was a moderate hike for me (not in shape) there were a few times my daughter helped me over a long (darn short legs) etc. The tour was beautiful!
