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.

Lucy W - Must do experience … some tips…

08/29/2023 - Verified Booking

This is down as one of the must do experiences, and rightly so. A little crazy but the railway trip is a lot of fun and seemed to be enjoyed by everyone. It’s a view through St Kitts - not a manicured tourist vista but with beautiful beaches and mountains, hair raising bridges, waving locals and yes, the rock quarry and just kittian real life ! All lubricated with generous alcoholic and non- alcoholic drinks. Sit on the right for the best photos (unless you want to be staggering around to stand up to photo!) note for us this was also the sunny side which means you may get hot. Downstairs the carriages have AC but you need to be upstairs for the view. The reason for the 4 rating, is that on the coach trip back, whilst informative, the windows were too small and you couldn’t see much of what was rapidly pointed out which was a real pity as this was more site based than the railway. Sit on the left on the coach if you want to see most of what was pointed out, right for the coast. But all in all highly recommended, much better than the Nevis trip. Note we booked this from our hotel as the pick up as convenient, but it may be cheaper to book your own taxi.

Jlou - An Enjoyable Experience

I did this shore excursion a number of years ago and really enjoyed it so I decided to do it again and it didn't disappoint. Had a very rude couple who were disruptive and blocked entertainment and some sights but this is not an issue of the ride itself. This is a very good way of seeing the island - the actual excursion is by train and ends with bus. It is quite an experience esp being a double decker.
