Must see - Great tour for people cruising! Great driver! We would have liked more time at the fort and some better orientation. By the time we figured out, there was a museum inside the for, it was time to go. Museum film is dated and should be updated. So climb the Fort steps, and go into the fort and into the museum before you spend time, taking pictures of all the views! Loved the beach stop at the end of our trip. Recommend highly. Great guide in an hysterical open bus, Sound system was good. Guide - Capt JR made the trip memorable and fun with stops to see a Green Monkey and taste Old Road Rum. Shop local! Beach chairs and umbrella are available for a small fee.

Wonder Tour! Would definitely use again. - We had an amazing time with Captain sunshine tour and services. Dominick was our tour guide and he went above and beyond. He was very knowledgeable about his beautiful island’s history. We made several additional stops just so he could share some extra things about the island. We stopped to see and hold a monkey. He even took us to see several mongoose. He took pictures of everyone on our tour at the top of Timothy Hill. He seemed genuinely exciting to share information about the island and made us fall in love with St. Kitts. He dropped us at a beautiful beach and picked us up 2 hours later right on time. We would definitely use Captain Sunshine again.

Amazing excursion - If your on a cruise looking for an excursion on the island look no further. They took us on a detailed tour around the island and then to the beach, it was an amazing experience and very reasonably priced! Brian knows best was our tour guide, and he does in fact, know best!

A tour NOT to be missed! - Great tour in an open safari vehicle! Our Knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, Remarkable Randal took us around St. Kitts for 4 hours and showed us all the must sees of the island. Tour included Brimstone Fortress (tour included entrance fee), Romney Manor/Carbirlle Batick (where you will see how clothing is made) Old Rum Plantation, a short hike in a rain forest, Timothy Hill snd lastly the South Frigate beach with narration along the way. This is a must!

A pleasant day in St. Kitts - We had been to St. Kitts twice before but had gone snorkeling or to Nevis. After walking down the pier and through the gates at the port, Captain Sunshine was waiting for us in front of the casino just to the right after passing through the gates. We saw Brimstone Fort, an old rum distillery (tasting $5), and Romney Manor. As we traveled through the town on our way to the beach our driver pointed out various local landmarks (churches, parks, statues, etc) and we stopped at Timothy Hill overlook for some photos. Our guide suggested Frigate Bay beach but I there are several nearby and I think you have your choice. At Frigate Bay the bar/restaurant had free wifi, beer $3, frozen drinks $9, two beach chairs with umbrella $10. Note: the dark volcanic sand on these beaches can get rather hot in the afternoon sun so you’ll want flip flops or beach shoes. After our time at the beach, we were taken back to the port shopping area and dropped off.

Best way to see all of St. Kitts! - Our friendly tour guide, Brian, provided us with an outstanding, well-narrated ride around the entire island. His driving and planned stops were considerate and timely. This was the most enjoyable island tour we’ve ever been on!

Short and sweet - This was a great excursion. Wish we would have had more time at Brimstone since we were only there about 40 minutes. There is a 7 minute video you watch then it is not an easy climb to get to the top of the fortress which took us about 10 minutes. We didn't have enough time to look at everything and we paid extra $10 for the hand held audio guide but couldn't hear it over the wind. The view was spectacular. The other stops were great also but beware of the people with pet monkeys, they set them on your shoulder and head then offer to take pictures and then charge you $10. The beach restaurant was wonderful and beaches were beautiful. Lots of hidden gems on this excursion.

Enjoyable trip for a reasonable price. - Our guide Janeel picked up up at the port and took us on a lovely tour of the island. We enjoyed the view and walk through the fort and seeing the local culture of the island. Janeel was very friendly and a great driver.

HORROR!!!!! - HORROR!!! DO NOT BUY THIS TOUR WITH CAPTAIN SUNSHINE!!!!! It was a nightmare! Shane, the guy that should have been our guide, did not take us to the places included in the tour, he did not explain anything. Never again! We had included the Fortress in our tour, but Shane didn't bring us there. We had to visit 2 beautiful beaches, but he took us to a beach near a construction site. Nothing like paradise. We paid 198 Euro for 3 people and got nothing for that money.
