The Sugar Train is a scenic journey around St. Kitts aboard the island’s historic narrow-gauge railway, originally built to transport sugar cane. Today, it offers a relaxing and picturesque way to see the island’s lush landscapes, coastline, and villages.
The double-decked carriages feature an open-air upper level for panoramic views and a comfortable, air-conditioned lower level. Along the route, guests enjoy live commentary, Caribbean music, and refreshments such as rum punch or fruit juice.
The tour covers about 30 miles (roughly half by train, half by bus) over three hours, passing old plantations, rainforest-covered mountains, and coastal cliffs.
It’s an ideal, leisurely way to take in the island’s beauty and heritage — perfect for those who prefer a cultural and scenic experience without strenuous activity.
Direct Bookings (Independent Travelers): The main train boarding station is near Needsmust Estate, just outside Basseterre, where the railway depot is located.
