You'll start this sightseeing adventure by meeting with your guide just outside your St. Kitts cruise port. Board an open-air Safari bus and settle in - each bus holds 20 passengers. You'll start with a drive and see the city as your guide tells you about the sights and gives you some great information.

Then you're off to Bloody Point. There's a good reason for the name. Back in 1626, both the British and the French were attempting to colonize the island. The indigenous people were called the Caribs and they decided to fight for their island. A chief from a nearby island organized a fighting party to attack the Europeans. But, although the British and the French weren't exactly friendly, they did join forces to fight the Caribs. Over 2,000 indigenous people were killed at Bloody Point. You'll have a 5-minute photo stop.

Next, you'll be taken to what's known as the Carving of the Rocks. These are carvings made by the Caribs before the 17th century many of them were cultural references, and many were carved on black rocks. You'll learn about the interesting history of the Caribs and their beliefs. As your guide is giving you information, you'll have about 5 minutes to take some photos of these amazing carvings.

Then you're off to Old Plantation. This was once a major sugar plantation and they were the first to use water to power their production. You'll enjoy about 15 minutes to explore the plantation and get some great photos of how life was for the wealthy many generations past.

Next, you'll be taken to the Botanical Gardens. The entrance fee is included. Enjoy 30 minutes of tropical beauty and learn about the ecosystem. See what plants attract what species of butterflies and birds. It features tropical birds, rainforest foliage, and much more. Carefully landscaped, this is a beautiful location for photos.

Finally, you're off to Timothy Hill. This is a scenic lookout point and it's fast becoming the trendy part of St. Kitts. With gorgeous views, you'll also be able to see where the Caribbean meets the Atlantic. See the beautiful Bay Area and more. You'll have 20 minutes to just walk around, take photos, and take it all in.

Then it's time to get back to your St. Kitts cruise ship port after your fun open-air safari bus island sightseeing.
