Its easier than ever to visit this underrated Caribbean island. Heres why right now is the perfect time to travel to St. Kitts. <\/p>\n
When it comes to Caribbean destinations, St. Kitts flies under the radar compared to more popular destinations like Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, which draw millions of tourists each year. <\/p>\n
However, this island, which is the larger of the two making up the country of St. Kitts and Nevis, is actually one of the best destinations to visit in the Caribbean. <\/p>\n
Heres why you should add this off-path island to your travel bucket list: <\/p>\n
One of the reasons that St. Kitts remains an underrated tourist destination for Americans is because there are not many nonstop flights available from the United States. <\/p>\n
However, JetBlue launched a brand-new route this week from New Yorks John F. Kennedy International Airport to Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport in Basseterre, St. Kitts. <\/p>\n
The flights will be thrice weekly on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. <\/p>\n
This makes getting to St. Kitts easier than ever before, as its the first city in the Northeast to get a direct flight to St. Kitts. Nonstop flights are also available from Charlotte and Miami on American Airlines and Atlanta on Delta Air Lines. <\/p>\n
If you dont want to commit to flying to St. Kitts and staying on the island, its also now easier than ever to visit the island on a Caribbean cruise and get a taste of what St. Kitts has to offer. <\/p>\n
According to the Caribbean Journal, St. Kitts is set to have its biggest cruise season yet this winter. <\/p>\n
Port Zante in St. Kitts is the fastest-growing cruise port in the region, set to receive 342 cruise ships in the upcoming season, including Royal Caribbeans brand-new Icon of the Seas, which is currently the largest cruise ship in the world. <\/p>\n
Cruise tourism has its pros and cons, but it will certainly make St. Kitts a hotspot in the Caribbean. It also makes it easier to visit this island destination. <\/p>\n
If youre looking for a Caribbean experience away from the crowds and the effects of mass tourism, St. Kitts is a great choice for now. <\/p>\n
Although this island paradise still remains underrated, its only a matter of time before it becomes a major tourism hotspot, making right now the perfect time to visit. <\/p>\n
In St. Kitts, you can enjoy pristine beaches with fewer crowds and experience an authentic slice of local life in a destination that doesnt just cater to tourists. <\/p>\n
If youre looking for a destination in the Caribbean thats still off the beaten path, St. Kitts is the perfect place to find a slice of island paradise. <\/p>\n
St. Kitts is a unique destination in the Caribbean that offers something for every type of traveler. Obviously, there are beaches that are as beautiful as any beach in the Caribbean. <\/p>\n
The best beaches on St. Kitts are located on the southern side of the island and include Cockleshell Beach, South Frigate Beach, and South Friars Beach. <\/p>\n
But the island is also covered in lush rainforest, with hiking trails cut through the jungle and ziplines whizzing over the canopy. Or you can take a ride on the St. Kitts Scenic Railway, a train that covers tracks once used for transporting sugar and the last rail line in the Caribbean. <\/p>\n
If youre up for an adventure, you can hike to the top of Mount Liamuiga, St. Kitts dormant volcano, for some truly stunning views. <\/p>\n
