Sample Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive at Nevis
Welcome to the Caribbean! Upon arrival, you will be collected by a hotel representative and transferred to the Golden Rock Inn, perched 1000 feet above sea level. You’ll be greeted with a smile and freshly baked homemade sweets from Golden Rock Inn’s pastry chef.
Sitting at the base of Mount Nevis amongst 40 acres of cultivated gardens, staying at Golden Rock Inn feels like you’re in the heart of a well-manicured jungle. This location is perfect for as much adventure or relaxation as you desire. Take a leisurely hike around the island or challenge yourself to summit Mount Nevis Peak.
Perhaps you’d prefer to opt for a poolside massage or soak in the nearby thermal hot springs. A visit to Golden Rock’s 50-foot spring-fed pool and a complimentary garden tour with their head gardener is not to be missed.
Overnight Golden Rock Inn
Day 2
GUIDED REEF SNORKEL AND CATAMARAN TOUR
Have a delicious a la carte breakfast this morning with a cup of Golden Rock’s private blend of coffee. The sun is rising, and the sparkling ocean is calling.
Return to your room to pack your day bag before being transferred to Oualie Pier for your private snorkel cruise. Your guide will brief you on how to use the snorkel equipment on the catamaran.
Feel the warm breeze and take in the scenic views as you sail along the impressive coastline of Saint Kitts and Nevis. From here, you’ll be able to appreciate the beauty of the islands’ lush rolling hills and untouched greenery.
On anchor in the sheltered Shitten Bay, jump into the inviting water and use this opportunity to search for turtles and tropical fish in their natural environment. You may even spot a shipwreck. Your three-hour journey will conclude with a calming afternoon sail back to Oualie Pier.

Day 5
EXPLORE ST. KITTS
Today, catch the water taxi from Oualie Pier to Nevis’ sister island, St. Kitts. Wind your way along the west coast to reach the 350-year-old home of Caribelle Batik, Romney Manor.
This estate was previously owned by the ancestors of Thomas Jefferson but is now where local artists use ancient Indonesian methods to create exquisite works of wearable batik art. Learn more about the fascinating history and specialty techniques during your behind-the-scenes tour.
You’ll also get the chance to visit the home of Old Road Rum to sample a selection of local rums during a memorable tasting experience.
With the flavor of Caribbean rum lingering, your guide will bring you 800 feet above sea level to the Brimstone Hill Fortress to take in the scenic views and learn about the area’s dramatic history.
It’s time for lunch! Belle Mont Farm is a 400-acre sustainable farm in the hills of St. Kitts. Feast in a Caribbean culinary experience prepared by the executive chef and his team.
Return to your resort to settle in after a busy day, and enjoy a seafood dinner by the beach.

Day 6 - 7
ACTIVITIES AT PARADISE BEACH
Start your day with a beachfront breakfast of pancakes, smoothies, fresh local fruit, and your resort’s unmissable smoked wahoo scrambled eggs.
You have so many activities to choose from today. Fly through the St. Kitts Rainforest and over the Wingfield River on a zipline, keeping your eye out for some of the largest trees on Nevis. Visit one of the many idyllic beaches, including the stunning black sand beach created by the once active volcano or the strikingly white coral sand beach. If you don’t feel like straying too far from your resort, inquire about their snorkeling gear, stand-up paddleboards, and kayaks.
This evening, retire to your beach terrace and cool off in your private plunge pool before spending your evening in the resort’s nearby Beach Bar, exclusive to guests. Sip on a specialty cocktail crafted by an in-house mixologist while unwinding in a gently swaying hammock.
