St. Kitts and Nevis These idyllic islands form part of the northern Leeward Islands lying in the Eastern Caribbean. Being slightly off the beaten track they remain uncommercialised, a blend of rugged volcanic peaks to climb, forests to explore, world heritage old fortresses to visit, breathtaking views, unusual wildlife, small villages and delightful people.
Seperated by two miles both islands have their own distinct character and unspoiled natural charm. St. Kitts (officially named St. Christopher) is the larger and livelier of the two with more varied terrain whilst Nevis is more sedate edged by superb white sandy beaches. A two centre holiday makes a wonderful combination to enjoy the Grand plantation houses of St. Kitts and the tranquility of Nevis.
Diving and snorkelling is plentiful with most of the dive sites on the Caribbean side of the islands where the reef starts in shallow water and you can explore the coral caves and wrecks abundant in fish and other sea creatures of all sizes and colours. Sites include Turtle Reef and Pump Bay on St. Kitts or Oualie Beach on Nevis.
