The scenic "Rail & Fly Tour" runs in a complete circle around the island allowing visitors the opportunity to see the entire country by train and by helicopter.
The St. Kitts Scenic Railway is one of the most beautiful train rides in the world. The railway now provides a fascinating way to see the island from the comfort of double-deck railcars built specifically for touring the island of St. Kitts. The upper level features a spacious open-air observation deck with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The lower level provides air-conditioned comfort with expansive vaulted windows.
The railway hugs the Northeastern coastline with rippling fields of sugarcane stretching from the shoreline up to the mountains. High volcanic mountain ranges rise nearly 4,000 feet above sea level, coated with lush green rainforests. The train rolls across tall steel bridges spanning deep canyons, and winds through small villages and farms. Your Tour Director will point out old sugar estates, abandoned sugar mills, and neighboring islands while giving insight into St. Kitts' colorful history.
After arriving at La Valle Railway Station, you will board your helicopter, take off, and experience the lush tropical beauty of St. Kitts from the air. Soar along the volcanic ridges of Mt. Liamuiga (and see the crater in good weather!), fly over the palisades of Brimstone Hill Fortress, the British "Gibraltar of the Caribbean", down the coast to Paradise Reef, and land right back at Port Zante beside your ship.
Don't miss this truly unique Caribbean experience! All aboard the Helicopter & Scenic Railway Adventure!
