Activities & Attractions
Activities
If you haven’t tried flyboarding on a vacation yet, it’s a unique and exhilarating sport that uses jet propulsion to help you hover in the air above the water. The Brimstone Hill Fortress is a historic, United Nations World-Heritage-protected park with a 38-acre fortress and stunning ruins. In Basseterre, St. Kitts’ capital, a number of water sport excursions are housed, so be sure to try diving, catamaran sailing or kite boarding. On land, try a hike through the Valley of Giants or zip line through the rainforest.
