Nevis is known as one of the Caribbean's natural wonders with a rich history; the civilization of the friendly people of Saint Kitts hosts annual events that add to the warmth of the place. With the sun shining all year, certain spots have been added to the list of cruise excursions that you can enjoy. Here are the top ten things to do in Nevis:

1. Tour of the St. Kitts Rainforest

   Following an easy trail that was shaded by the rainforest canopy and brushed aside hanging banyan roots, that is how the trail was protected from the sun. There are over 400 different plant and tree species per acre, with 10-12 different varieties of mango being the most common of these. The most effective way to learn about it is to take a trip to the rainforest. If you're visiting St Kitts, this is one of the most pleasant things to do because it's such a refreshing change from the monotony of life at sea.

2. See the Arts and Crafts at Romney Manor

   Learn how to weave colorful fabrics and manufacture traditional Batik shawls at this historic plantation-turned-crafts-center, which is also the home of world-renowned artisans Caribelle Batik. Wander the tropical gardens and take a tour of the facility, where you can see artists at work making colorful blankets, quilts, and scarves the old-fashioned way. After you've had a look around, go to the gift shop and pick up some mementos. I guarantee that no two pieces are the same!

3. Pay a visit to the lovely Cockleshell Bay.

   Cockleshell Bay is a delightful small beach on the south side of St Kitts, with monkeys prancing on the sand and the delectable scents of Caribbean jerk chicken wafting from rustic barbecue shacks. The water is clean, warm, and shallow, with little waves lapping the shore. Oh, and if you want to view St. Kitts' neighbor, look across The Narrows (little strait) to the island of Nevis. 

4. Learn About St. Kitts' History.

   There are historic landmarks all throughout the island, so it's no surprise that taking an island tour and learning about the past is one of the most popular St Kitts cruise excursions. The island's economy was once based on rum and sugar, making it the richest of all the English colonies in the Caribbean. As you drive through historic sugar plantations and chimneys, you'll find relics of this previous business. Some, like Ottley's Plantation Inn, have been turned into hotels and restaurants, allowing visitors to get up and personal with the island's history. Brimstone Hill Fortress is a unique experience (a must do in St Kitts). It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located 800 feet above sea level. It's not only a terrific spot to learn about the island's history, but you can also enjoy the panoramic views beyond the massive canons.

5. Immerse Yourself in Caribbean Life 

   Treat yourself to a day at the beach! St Kitts Water Sports offers a variety of sports at Cockleshell Bay, including jet skiing, stand up paddle boarding, and kayaking. When you're hungry, stop into Reggae Beach Bar for a bite to eat and a frozen beverage. This beach has a great vibrant vibe, and it's one of the best beaches in St Kitts (near cruise port in Basseterre).
   If you want to observe what's going on beneath the ocean, you may board a catamaran with Blue Water Safaris St Kitts. There's an amazing underground world you've forgotten about, and the water is crystal pure. Dive in and find out! They will take you snorkeling with turtles and tropical fish, and they will even show you a strange shipwreck. If you're lucky, you could even have a chance to visit the island of Nevis.

6. Pay a visit to the Old Road Colonial Settlement.

   If you want to go back in time and experience what the historic Caribbean looked like, go to the settlement of Old Road on the west side of the island. Old Road, the Caribbean's oldest British colonial settlement, dates back to 1624, when Englishman James Warner built the town. The quantity of tobacco plants drew him to St. Kitts. The town has a nostalgic, marine vibe about it, which contrasts sharply with the capital, Basseterre, where the St. Kitts cruise port is located.

7. Take a Zip Line Adventure on St. Kitts.

   Along with walking, snorkeling, and swimming, zip-lining is available in St. Kitts. Fly over the dense forest with Sky Safari Tours and scream at the top of your lungs. There are a total of six zip lines, with the final one being a race against your companion.
   If you're traveling with children, this is one of the best St Kitts cruise excursions. You'll undoubtedly be more terrified than they are! They'll have a blast flying in the air.

8. Go to Frigate Bay in St. Kitts.

   This lively bay is lined with numerous rum and reggae bars. Check out the top beach bars and party locations. Another of my favorite things to do in St. Kitts was this. There's a great local, true vibe there, and it's not overcrowded. It's a great spot to mingle with the people and, in some circumstances, literally soak up some Caribbean energy!
   Swim in the warm, shallow waters of the Caribbean in South Frigate Bay, or head to the northern edge for stronger waves, hotels like the St. Kitts Marriott Resort, and the greens of the Royal St Kitts Golf Club. Though not far apart, the two sides of the bay feel diametrically opposed - and I'd recommend seeing both if you have time when deciding things to do in St Kitts on a cruise. 

9. Attend the annual events and festival
   

   For a country that's so small, there are a lot of big events. The annual Saint Kitts Music Festival brings together big names in music from all over the Caribbean. The big annual event on Nevis is Culturama, this year will be started on 21st of July Until 2nd Of August 2022, a festival that has been going on for years. It was started to keep and promote local traditions and folk art.

   The festival takes place on the first weekend of August each year, which is the same time as Emancipation Day, when African were freed from their jobs. People have been coming to the island for the festival since it started in 1974. There were dances and dramas, as well as arts and crafts and a local recipe contest.
   
   There was also a beauty pageant and a calypso competition. A re-enactment of the Battle of St. Kitts will be held in March, as well as Independence Day in September, and the Latin Fiesta in October. Even in November, St. Kitts has its own Fashion Week.
