What To Expect
You will be picked up at your hotel or from Port Zante in an air-conditioned van or open-air safari which will take on a journey through the streets of Basseterre which boasts the finest examples of Georgian architecture in the Caribbean. The Circus, formally known as the Berkeley Memorial is modeled after the Piccadilly Circus in London, England. The green clock tower is a historic focal point, of the bustling commercial, financial and trading activity of the island’s capital. Journey to Independence Square, formerly known as Pall Mall Square, the former Slave Market. Heading North, the island main road will take you to the historic St. Georges Anglican Church. Visit the first Anglican Church built in the British Caribbean in Middle Island to view the tombs of Sir Thomas Warner, who landed at Old Road Bay. You will then journey west on the island’s main road, passing quaint villages such as Boyd’s Village and Challengers Village onto Bloody Point and Bloody River named in remembrance of the Carib Indians, the island’s first inhabitants. Another historical site is Old Road which was the first British town in the entire Caribbean. On the journey to Caribelle Batik on the left hand side of the road are stone petroglyphs, reminders of the Caribs. We will then visit Wingfield Estate and Romney Manor to see the magnificent old Saman tree which is more than 400 years old. Enjoy breathtaking views and capture the Island’s lush vegetation and verdant hills as you journey to the town of Sandy Point, the island’s second largest town. From the island main road, you will see the majestic Brimstone Hill Fortress. Turning right and driving upwards one can hear the sounds of birds and monkeys that live in the dense vegetation bordering the historical site. Brimstone Hill Fortress was built over a period of 104 years, starting in the late 16th century and was inducted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The 40-acre site occupies different levels and offers spectacular sites of neighboring Caribbean islands. Having stepped back in time at Brimstone Hill, take the excursion back to tropical reality as you meander through the beautiful landscape of the island. The tour will then proceed back to the capital city passing by an 18-hole golf course and stately homes on the slopes of the majestic hills in the background. Your tour will conclude with a stop at the top of Timothy Hill for a breathtaking view of the Frigate Bay affluent area. Then the tour will journey to South Friar’s Beach or Cockleshell Beach for the duration of 1-3 hours, depending on your request. There’s nothing like relaxing on the golden sandy beaches, listening to the waves gently lapping against the shoreline and sipping on a refreshing beverage in a tropical paradise. The scenic drive from the beach adventure to the cruise terminal will be approximately 20-30 minutes.

Beautiful island

4.00Sean was knowledgeable and friendly. He took us all around his beautiful island. The bummer was we waited 40-45 minutes for an add-on person. The company seemed disorganized. I would have preferred to shop or something while we waited so it was wasted time. The brimstone fortress was super neat but I felt rushed with only 30 mins there. We had 20 mins at Romney which was plenty of time. We got some good pics at Timothy Hill. The beach we went to was nice. They charge you there for the chairs and the people who work there were rude. We had a slice of veggie pizza given to us from a fellow traveler and it was gross. All in all we had a good time just wish we didn't wait so long to start with. Sean was kind enough at the end to help us get his pricing on some rum.
Fun day in St. Kitts

We had a wonderful day with Devin and he was very conscious of the time we needed to get back to the ship. We truly enjoyed our day.

5.00Great tour for people cruising! Great driver! We would have liked more time at the fort and some better orientation. By the time we figured out, there was a museum inside the for, it was time to go. Museum film is dated and should be updated. So climb the Fort steps, and go into the fort and into the museum before you spend time, taking pictures of all the views! Loved the beach stop at the end of our trip. Recommend highly. Great guide in an hysterical open bus, Sound system was good. Guide - Capt JR made the trip memorable and fun with stops to see a Green Monkey and taste Old Road Rum. Shop local! Beach chairs and umbrella are available for a small fee.
Wonder Tour! Would definitely use again.

5.00We had an amazing time with Captain sunshine tour and services. Dominick was our tour guide and he went above and beyond. He was very knowledgeable about his beautiful island’s history. We made several additional stops just so he could share some extra things about the island. We stopped to see and hold a monkey. He even took us to see several mongoose. He took pictures of everyone on our tour at the top of Timothy Hill. He seemed genuinely exciting to share information about the island and made us fall in love with St. Kitts. He dropped us at a beautiful beach and picked us up 2 hours later right on time. We would definitely use Captain Sunshine again.
Amazing excursion

5.00If your on a cruise looking for an excursion on the island look no further. They took us on a detailed tour around the island and then to the beach, it was an amazing experience and very reasonably priced! Brian knows best was our tour guide, and he does in fact, know best!
A tour NOT to be missed!

5.00Great tour in an open safari vehicle! Our Knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, Remarkable Randal took us around St. Kitts for 4 hours and showed us all the must sees of the island. Tour included Brimstone Fortress (tour included entrance fee), Romney Manor/Carbirlle Batick (where you will see how clothing is made) Old Rum Plantation, a short hike in a rain forest, Timothy Hill snd lastly the South Frigate beach with narration along the way. This is a must!
HORROR!!!!!

1.00HORROR!!! DO NOT BUY THIS TOUR WITH CAPTAIN SUNSHINE!!!!! It was a nightmare! Shane, the guy that should have been our guide, did not take us to the places included in the tour, he did not explain anything. Never again! We had included the Fortress in our tour, but Shane didn't bring us there. We had to visit 2 beautiful beaches, but he took us to a beach near a construction site. Nothing like paradise. We paid 198 Euro for 3 people and got nothing for that money.
