Together with your small group, journey to the Wingfield Estate, one of the oldest plantations on the island, via an open safari truck.
On the way to the forest you will see a number of interesting Carib petroglyphs and the historic village of Old Road where Sir Thomas Warner, along with his family and 14 others, began the first permanent European settlement in the Leeward Islands.
Jump out of the truck at the Wingfield Estate, set in the picturesque foot hills of the central mountain range and the gateway to the rainforest.

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.

Perfect tour(-guide) ! - We did the tour on December 3, 2024, and unfortunately I can't remember the name of our guide. It was a super great tour. We really enjoyed it. He explained everything so nicely, he was so passionate about what he was doing. Great! We will always remember this tour!

An amazing walk with Adrian our guide! - The Batik shop
The history
The fauna
The beauty of the island
Adrian (our guide)
Adrian was an amazing guide, his knowledge of plant life and the history of the island is absolutely phenomenal. If you ever have the opportunity to do this, be sure to ask for him by name. It is an absolutely lovely experience, and the walk is not too difficult. We even saw a young child walking with a boot on her foot, not something I would recommend for everybody, but it does speak volumes about the terrain.
This is a must do while you’re in St. Kitts

St. Kitts pride - Kasim exudes a passion for his homeland, neighborhood and nature that will leave an indelible memory of this tour and its guide! His pride in everything he shares with tourists and the education he provides is as enjoyable as the sights and sounds of the rainforest.

Kasim is the Best - Kasim picked my wife and I up at the hotel and we were the only ones on the tour which was nice because we were celebrating our 50th anniversary. We had a great hike through the rainforest stopping along the way many times so Kasim could explain many informative things about the forest, water, fruit trees and local history along with some stories about his childhood growing up with the rainforest in his backyard. After the tour his dad met us and gave us a nice ice cold guava drink and homemade cinnamon raisin bread. Before the hike begins Kasim offers you a walking stick, I would recommend using it.
This tour is well worth the price.

Wonderful tour - Zidan Was exceptional! He was super knowledgeable and showed us around the rainforest which is his back yard. We lucked out that nobody else booked that day and we had essentially a private tour. The rainforest was amazing and we were lucky enough to see monkey’s in the wild. Zidan finished up the tour with a snack and dropped us back at our hotel. Thank you for sharing your beautiful rainforest with us! I would highly recommend this tour.

Tiring, beautiful, fun. - Zidan was the best! We had such a great time on this tour. But fair warning, wear your good shoes and bring a decent amount of water, and maybe even a snack. The route is long and tiring, but so worth it and so beautiful.

Not as described. - Wasn’t as described. No way this hike is appropriate for all ages. There was a very steep section that required two hands pulling yourself up through mud on a rope and there was no water provided. Unfortunately, we were also the two extra on a family trip of 5 and it was evident the tour was for the family. The guide didn’t even wait for us to get there before he would share all the information on the trees and plants so we missed most of it. While we were so excited for this, overall it was a disappointment and I wouldn’t do it again.
