On most days, it is possible to see another day trip destination from St. Maarten / St. Martin: St. Kitts and Nevis. From many St. Maarten beaches, you can see volcanic Mt. Liamuiga (meaning “fertile soil” in indigenous Kalinago language) towering through the clouds with 1152 metres / 3792 ft. The same applies to Nevis’ volcano Nevis Peak. These islands, united in an independent federation, still have many remnants of the once regionally dominant sugar cane industry. Fort Brimstone is a famous fortress and must see; bustling capital Basseterre is also a famous tourism spot.
St. Kitts can be reached by ferry or airplane from St. Maarten / St. Martin. Nevis can be reached either from St. Kitts by boat or by airplane from St. Maarten.
St. Kitts & Nevis are located on the South-East of St Maarten. Find St. Kitts & Nevis on the map below!
