St . Kitts Scenic Railway Tour
This is a highly recommended tour which presents a great way to see St . Kitts ! Hop on a bus for a ride to the railway then relax with a glass of rum punch while the train takes you on a scenic two to three hour drive , meandering through old sugar plantations , now abandoned but once flourishing during the island ’ s thriving sugar production era . It continues through quaint little villages where the local kids wave happily as you pass by .
Sit at the upper level and enjoy unrestricted panoramic views of the island scenery , or you may opt to sit downstairs in air conditioned comfort . Throughout the tour you will be entertained by a choir while the very informed tour guide will fill you in on the island ’ s history . Snacks with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are served throughout the ride .
The train was built in 1926 to deliver sugar cane from the fields to the sugar mill . Today , it serves as a tangible link to the island ’ s past .
This is a definite must-do when visiting St . Kitts .
