Destination Information for Saint Kitts and Nevis
Two volcanic islands, separated by a channel a mere 3 metres wide, the mountainous landscapes of Saint Kitts and Nevis will immediately draw your attention. The dormant Mount Liamuiga volcano– situated on Saint Kitts– is a daunting 3792 feet at its peak but provides a breath-taking jungle hike for tourists to enjoy. The smaller island of Nevis remains relatively unspoilt, meaning there is nature aplenty for tourists to enjoy.
There are also opportunities for those who want to give something back to the islands, as St Kitts’ voluntourism scheme allows visitors to mix adventure with compassion. This includes initiatives such as beach clean-ups and helping to improve infrastructure in the area. As a result, the hope is that people can continue to enjoy this jewel of the Caribbean for a number of years to come.
