St. Kitts’ Best Water Activities 

One of the best ways to feel a sense of adventure in St. Kitts is to get out on the water! The warm waters of the Caribbean Sea are the perfect place to dive coral reefs and get up close and personal with the amazing tropical wildlife that lives under the sea. There’s also a number of sunken shipwrecks to explore like the remains of the M.V. River Taw which lies off of Frigate Bay Beach. There are a number of private diving and snorkeling providers on the island and they can tailor your experience for beginners or seasoned divers. 

Another fun way to get out on the water is kitesurfing. Beach Addiction St. Kitts is one of the top services on the island and they will have you surfing around the calm, warm waters around St. Kitts in no time! Kiteboarding or Kitesurfing involves riders harnessing the power of the wind via a large kite while skimming across the top of the water on a surfboard-like device. It can look intimidating at first, but it’s a ton of fun and not as hard as you think!
