Wonderful Tour of St. Kitts - I traveled with friends, and we all loved every minute of this experience. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny, and engaging throughout the tour. The rainforest hike was absolutely beautiful, and we learned so much about the local vegetation the various uses for plants and trees. We even saw monkeys which does not always happen.

Fabulous rainforest tour. - David was our guide and he was great. Others no showed for our tour so we were the only ones. We appreciated that he was ok with only taking the two of us. He knew everything about every plant and tree in the forest and surrounding areas. Additionally he provided insight to the area and buildings in route to the actual tour.

Fabulous rainforest tour! - David was a great tour guide! We loved hearing about the rainforest and all of the plants and trees in the area! He knew the area very well because he grew up right there. We even got a picture with a little monkey! Thanks David!

Beautiful Rain Forest and Nature Trail - David gave us an unbelievable and extensive tour through the rain forest. He has such a true passion for his country and its rich history as explained in talk throughout our experience. We loved it! He truly put his own personal touches throughout the time that we were with him.

Interesting hike, but could have been so much better. - Overall we enjoyed the experience. The trip to the starting place in the open safari truck was fun, and the ‘natural’ aircon was lovely! Having read so many reviews raving about David, we we a little disappointed that our guide was someone else. Although very pleasant, we felt he was a little distant and didn’t really engage with us, which is unusual for this kind of tour. For example he didn’t ask our names or where we were from (the group was only 4 people, two of us and a couple from Canada). The trail itself was interesting and the heavy downpour added to the rain forest experience. Unfortunately we were not provided with water as stated in the information and, when we asked the guide, we’re told we’d need to buy some. Not that we needed them, but walking sticks (again advertised in the tour description) were not available. Our drive back to the hotel was in a 4 by 4 driven by David, whose company we enjoyed and was a much more effective communicator.
