The Experience

Before You Go

Wear closed-toe shoes

Platforms and trails are short but uneven—sturdy sneakers or trail shoes make transitions safer and more comfortable.

Hydrate before you go

Bring a filled water bottle; the tour has limited shade and island heat can dehydrate you quickly.

Book transport 24+ hours ahead

Sky Safari offers paid hotel pickups but spots are limited—reserve early to avoid arranging your own ride.

Know the weight limits

You must weigh between 60 and 275 lbs and verify weight at check-in—this is non-negotiable for safety.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Wingfield Estate arch and small ruin cluster—great short walk and photo spot after the tour
  • Old Road Ghaut lookout for a quiet view of volcanic ridges and nearby coastline

Wildlife

  • Green vervet monkeys
  • Frigatebirds and tropical hummingbirds

Conservation Note

Operators limit group sizes and stay on established platforms to reduce canopy disturbance—support local guides and avoid bringing single-use plastics.

The course runs through an old sugar estate where cane and rum production shaped St. Kitts’ economy; remnants of the distillery and estate buildings remain on-site.
