Description

Enjoy a leisurely cruise as you proceed along the Leeward Coast of St Kitts, passing the Frigate Bay resort area and Friars Bay before arriving at Shittens Bay, the snorkeling destination.

After boarding a custom designed, "MAXI-CAT,” there will be a brief orientation to familiarize you with the safety procedures on the boat and an introduction to the crew. Then the leisurely cruise begins.

Only such an excellent snorkeling site as the secluded cove of Shitten Bay could justify bringing this relaxing and invigorating sail to a stop. This calm, unspoiled location is only accessible by sea and shelters an abundance of marine life, with several varieties of reef fish amongst the volcanic rock formations, sea fans and sponges, Special supervision is given to those who have never snorkeled before or those who are out of practice with the technique of snorkeling.

After the snorkeling adventure, enjoy an open bar serving ice-cold beer, rum punch and soft drinks while the sails are hoisted for the final tranquil trip back to the yacht.

Description

This SeaDream Land Adventure offers the must-see highlights and the soul of St. Kitts.

Departing from the tender pier by bus, you'll enjoy a scenic drive through the mountainous area of Frigate Bay and make your way into Basseterre, the capital city. As you drive through the bustling town, sit back and view sights such as the Berkeley Memorial, Independence Square and the impressive Roman Catholic Cathedral.

Make your way next to Fairview Great House and Botanical Gardens, where you will learn more about the restored West Indian plantation home built in 1701 and the island's complex history. You will then be given the opportunity to sample three flavors of Caribbean rum and afterwards enjoy the Fairview Great House signature cocktail – a lemongrass mojito.

Next you drive to Romney Manor’s gardens, you will see (from the outside) a piece of 17th-century history, where Thomas Jefferson's great grandfather Samuel was the original owner. The lacy wooden architecture and tropical gardens are a feast for the eyes. You may even be fortunate enough to see hummingbirds and green vervet monkeys. Afterwards, visit Caribelle Batik. Here you see how locals create each one-of-a-kind article of clothing and decorative masterpiece.

Complete your Adventure with a visit to Brimstone Hill Fortress. This UNESCO World Heritage Site the Gibraltar of the West Indies. This magnificent fortress sits impressively atop 38 acres of limestone and sulfur composites, with spectacular views over the St. Kitts mountain range, sugar cane fields, Caribbean Sea and neighboring islands. Designed by the British and built by slaves, the Fortress is testimony to European colonial expansion, the African slave trade and the emergence of new societies in the Caribbean.

The last stop of the adventure is at Timothy Hill to take in breathtaking 360-degree views of both the Atlantic and Caribbean sides of the island before returning to your SeaDream yacht.

Description

Discover 2 countries on one island during this unusual island excursion.

Depart Marigot port heading towards Paradise Peak, the highest elevation on the island, then pass Grand Case, the culinary capital of the Caribbean, and continue past Orient Beach to Paradise Lookout Point for a view of famous Orient Beach and the island of St. Barth with an opportunity to take some photos. Next you will drive through Quartier d’Orleans, also known as French Quarter and will cross the International Border to the Dutch side of the island.

Upon arrival in Philipsburg, capital of the Dutch side, you have approximately 1 hour of free time to do some shopping on well-known Front Street or stroll along the Boardwalk to find many restaurants, bars and even ice cream parlors. There is also a fantastic view of the cruise ships at the Dr. A.C. Wathey Cruise & Cargo Facility, the largest port on the island. The journey continues to the Cay Hill Lookout Point, for views and a photo stop of Simpson Bay Lagoon, the largest land enclosed lagoon in the Caribbean, as well as of Simpson Bay Beach and all the way to Princess Juliana International Airport. At the airport you will experience the amazing spectacle of planes landing right overhead while enjoying a refreshing local favorite the Guavaberry Colada. Guavaberry rum is a legendary folk liqueur of St. Maarten/St. Martin and is an integral part of local culture and tradition. It is made from fine oak aged rum, sugar cane, and wild local Guavaberries – not to be mistaken with guavas. Guavaberries are rare and can only be found high in the hills in the center of the island as a bright orange or as a red/black fruit. After this fun experience you will return to the port in Margot and your yacht.
