Mount Liamuiga Summit Hike

Meet your tour guide at 7 a.m. at the meeting point, Port Zante. The departure time is subject to change depending on the ship's arrival.
Travel from Basseterre along the western Caribbean coastline to Newton Ground, named after John Newton, who wrote the song "Amazing Grace" right here in our beloved St. Kitts.
Follow the local farmers' road all the way up to the edge of the forest, where the vehicles will be parked. Take time to drink some water, do stretching exercises, and then enter the forest to begin the hike. You may also carry bottled water if you wish.
Reach the top of the mountain, observe the crater, and rest for a while while viewing the islands in the distance. Once everyone is fully rested, descend the mountain and enjoy refreshments.
Head back to Basseterre and return to your ship or hotel.
