Fabulous experience with Sweet Pea narrating the journey and explaining everything from the history to the plant life and wishing good morning to everyone. You get to see parts of the island that are otherwise inaccessible. Well worth a visit.
We were so excited to enjoy this unique experience. However, about 5 minutes into the ride, the train derailed and we were stuck. After quite a wait, we had to be towed back to the depot. They offered a ride after the rail was repaired but due to obvious concerns, we declined and got a full refund. The staff were amazing but the experience was, preventable or not, a let down as we moved our plans around to accommodate this date for the train and we are only here for a week. We are so disappointed.
Kurt was THE BEST bus tour guide and Sweet Pea (Patricia) was a lovely & fun train cabin host. Special thanks to Ambrosia for efficiently serving us our beverages!!! Unfortunately, there was a derailment that ended our adventure prematurely, but next time we're here in SKN, we'll schedule our tour!
Took the train ride as part of a Royal Caribbean cruise - excursion. The bus driver that picked us up at the terminal called herself “Peace & Love” and she was wonderful!!! The train ride was a bit shakey from side-side but, it’s an older train and added to the experience! The workers were very attentive and we were never without a drink in hand if we wanted it! The views were great and I swear every single person who saw the train waved…it did not matter their age, they stopped what they were doing and waived to the train! This is well worth doing and I strongly encourage you try it!
The day trip has been canceled as the train broke down. Please refund, and send an email that the refund has been processed.
My partner and I stayed in St. Kitts for a week. The Scenic Railway was by far our favorite thing we’ve done or seen the entire trip! They are very professional and kind. They had everything well planned to ensure we were on time to meet up with all the other buses. We absolutely loved our driver, she was light-hearted and knowledgeable about SKN history. The train itself was a very fun experience. They proved free drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), they had dancers show us their traditional dancing, the speakers worked very well and didn’t skip, so we could hear the host clearly. The views of the ocean and fruit trees were fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend.
