About this tour

**Historical Significance:** The St Kitts Scenic Railway is a narrow-gauge line established in the early 20th century to transport sugarcane from plantations to the sugar factory.

**Scenic Route:** The train travels a 30-mile circular path around the island, offering passengers breathtaking views of charming villages, lush rainforests, urban and rural landscapes, vibrant farms, and free-roaming livestock.

**Double Decks:** The train features two levels: an upper deck with open-air seating and a lower deck with air conditioning. Passengers can choose to relax inside or enjoy the fresh air and stunning vistas from the top.

**Onboard Hospitality:** Savor refreshing daiquiris and fruit punches during this historical journey, accompanied by live Caribbean music and informative commentary about the island’s history and landmarks. **Rail & Bus:** This combination of rail and bus travel creates a unique experience.

RenfromKent - An entertaining and informative way to see the island.

10/18/2024 - Verified Booking

Wanted to take in the whole of the island and find out a little more about the place. This did the job perfectly. Half a day experience, couple of hours on the train then 45 minute bus return taking in the bits of the island the railway does not reach. Informative and entertaining guides for both legs. US$89. Drinks included in that price. I took some some small bills in case the staff deserved a "thank you". They did. Coincidentally bumped into Steven Hites who outlined some of the challenges faced operating the service. This attraction deserves continued success. Highly recommended.

DuckysWife - Constantly changing marvellous views with plentiful drinks

Very scenic and beautiful views constantly changing. Hugged the coast a lot of the time with marvellous sea views. Commentary was excellent, cold drinks with or without alcohol such as pina coladas and rum punches were in plentiful supply. The ladies serving the drinks one in each carriage did well to stay upright as the train swayed the whole time which made it more fun. Gentlemen dancers were excellent entertainers in colourful robes. Choice between air conditioned lower deck or covered airy top deck. Booked through P & O cruises which included a coach tour of half of the island. Commentary on St Kitts was outstanding and picked up tips on proper use of spices for good health.
