What To Expect
St. Kitts Scenic Railway
See fields of sugar canes surrounding the railcar as the railway winds around the slopes of the remnant volcano Mt. Liamuiga. Discover the hidden black sand beach and overgrown plantation estates, and cross steel bridges, including one stretching 300 feet (90 meters) across a deep ravine. You will also pass many villages including the Mansion Village and Saddlers Village, surrounded by fields producing a range of fruit.
The colorful narration of the history of Caribbean and St. Kitts includes tales of the “Last Railway in the West Indies,” which was used to transport sugar cane from the island’s sugar plantations to the sugar factory in Basseterre, St. Kitts capital city. You will also be entertained with folk songs and hymns by the St. Kitts Railway Choir.
At the end of your train ride, transfer to a sightseeing bus to continue your 12-mile (19 km) journey along Island Main Road. The route passes under Brimstone Hill Fortress and through small villages and towns before returning to Basseterre.
Please note: there is no reserved seating. All seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Reviews
Thank you!! I recommend this for everyone.
*those with mobility issues may not make it up the winding narrow stairs to the top level (at least not without assistance or while the train is moving— these are old freight cars with little cushioning in the suspension, but I loved it. We rode in the last car, up top.
Local dancers on board carriages were great and service of drinks by the staff
