We had an amazing experience with our guided hike up Mt. Liamuiga. We arrived to the island via a cruise ship. We received a text the day before explaining where to meet and who to look for. Our driver was excellent and explained what things were along the drive and more about the people of St. Kitts & Nevis. Our guide was Jay and he was professional, experienced, helpful, positive & of good humor. Our group of four was lucky enough to be the only hikers that day. We were there on a Tuesday. The hike is a very strenuous hike. It should only be done by physically fit humans who are used to hiking. It is about 2-1/2 hours up and about 1 hr. 45 minutes down. These times depend on the size and physical ability of your group. We left at 9am and arrived back at the cruise port around 3:30pm. Jay was equipped with extra water & a few Powerades. We took plenty of protein bars & jerkey for our excursion. We took breaks to catch our breath & take drinks. We highly recommend this excursion!
