I was fortunate to have Rosevelt of Island Paradise Tours transport me from the airport in St. Kitts to my hotel on my recent travels and we had a very intriguing conversation on the way. He invited me to do a tour with him but I explained that I was there on business and not pleasure. He told me that he could also be my personal taxi driver during my stay and I agreed. Rosevelt is very personable and courteous - he seemed to know everyone on the island! He took me to my destination and arranged to pick me up after my first meeting. I was very impressed with his punctuality as he took me from place to place to do my business.
Whether it is for business or for pleasure, I highly recommend Rosevelt and Island Paradise Tours. You will not be disappointed. Rosevelt certainly made my St. Kitts experience a pleasant and successful one.

Calvin was our guide through the rain forrest and did his thing great and in great detail. Since he could already use the rainforest as an adventure playground as a child, he guided us through it in great detail. We were completely satisfied above all because we could escape the crowds of tourists. Definitely recommendable.

Beautiful, informative tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. She could have entertained questions a bit more. She stuck with her script which did not facilitate time for questions.Only suggestion, have some snacks or time to get something to eat.

Our group of 7 needed a ride to a good beach after disembarking our cruise ship on the beautiful island of St. Kitts. Rosevelt was great. He gave us a comfortable ride to an excellent spot that we spent much of the day at and he was there to pick us up to get back to this ship in plenty of time.

Adrian is the MOST qualified human on Earth to take you and your loved ones up Mt. Liamuiga. Everything with our tour worked out seamlessly.
We booked a group tour and happened to get a private experience with Adrian, and we couldn’t say more about how wonderful it was to experience the mountain with him.
Please note that this is a strenuous hike, not for inexperienced hikers or the faint of heart as there are many roots/rocks you must navigate on your way to a beautiful summit.
But if you have the physical ability, you won’t regret booking with Island Paradise tours. And if you can meet Adrian, you are in for one of the most wonderful days of your life we guarantee it!

My husband and I just returned home from our Caribbean cruise, having booked the Roosevelt tour with Island Paradise Tours. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour. We were able to see all the highlights of this beautiful island. If you are a history buff, Brimstone Fort is a MUST!

Me and my family had a stop in St. Kitts with our cruise ship so we decided to prebook a rainforest tour with Island Paradise Tours. They seemed to be reputable as they have great reviews on Tripadvisor however our experience was anything but pleasant. When booking our tour we let Island Paradise Tours know which cruise ship we were sailing in on and what time it was expected to arrive. Although our cruise ship arrived on time, the gangway to disembark was delayed by the port customs. Once the gangway was opened we disembarked and headed for our prebooked rainforest tour. When we arrived at the tour staging area 20 minutes after the gangway opened we asked the St. Kitts information desk about where this tour company was. The information desk stated the tour guide left not even 5 minutes ago. The information booth offered to call the company which they got ahold of them. The lady from the company answered and stated that she was still walking to her vehicle from the pickup point but would not turn around for us and that the company was not going to refund us our money. So basically $200 dollars down the drain because our cruise ship did not disembark on time. I have went on several cruises and never experienced anything like this. As a reputable company I would expect them to be more understanding with cruise ships disembarking. Be weary of booking with this company as I would hate for anyone else to have the same experience and not only lose out on money but an experience of a lifetime.

We asked for a private tour to a beach that had specific water activities and were told they could take us to one. We were taken to a beach that had a company on the beach but they did not offer the activities we asked for and the ones they did have were broken. We asked to be picked up and brought to ship, at no point did they offer to bring us to another location and were very rude. The owner refused to take us in his van because we were wet and made us wait for another driver - who he was screaming at on the phone in front of all of my children. It was very uncomfortable and we could not get back to the ship fast enough. Very rude. The driver did not say one word to us the entire drive. We had 15 people. For $280 that we paid for just transportation (we didn't receive anything else) we could have gotten taxis much cheaper and likely friendlier.
We requested a paypal dispute and were denied because the owner said they were only transportation. We have been on many cruises and have had many excursions and this company by far offered the worst excursion, customer service and transportation we have ever had.

You please some of the people some of the time but you can't please all the people all the time. This review is so far from the truth. First this person try to get a refund from pay pal but after pay pal look into the case they realize that Island Paradise Tours fulfill their obligation. We took them to and from the beach in a new clean air condition vehicle with lots of leg, head room and big clear windows to take pictures from. At the end of the tour they tip the tour guide handsomely. Island Paradise Tours do not own a restaurant on the beach or a water sport business, we have no power over other business actions or faultier at their business. Our job was transportation on that day not even a tour, we volunteer information to our guest base on what we know. The group call us by phone with a request to leave a hour early. I Rosvelt stop what I was doing and rush to the scene in 7 minutes with the intention to take them to another beach, the lady did not give me a chance to get a word in she demand to leave right away. I was driving a vehicle that could hold 11 people so I told her that her vehicle is on the way, she demand that I took them. I could not take them because it is against the law to overload a bus with more passengers that is allow by law. In 5 minute their bus arrive and took them back to the dock safely. I was in the bank line when she call and I stop everything and race to the scene and if she gave me time to help she would have gotten all what she wanted but we are all human and we do not have power over another person action or another private or public business. This review have help me organize for future beach tours. Thanks.

We could not have picked a better guide to show us the island of St. Kitts. First of all, we were wonderfully impressed by how clean, hilly and scenic St. Kitts was upon our arrival. Then we were so happy to meet Roosevelt at the pier; he was right on time, and ready to meet our group. There was another famiy joining our tour from our cruise ship, the Carnival Victory, who were unfortunately, NOT on time. However, they eventually showed up and we got started with our tour. Roosevelt first showed us all around the downtown area of the island, by comfort of his nice, air-conditioned van. Then we went to the plantation where the Batik factory is located; very scenic and beautiful. We also got to take a tour of the huge fortress on the island and Roosevelt filled us in on the history of the island, and how the island changed ownership between the British and French over hundreds of years. The canons and walls are still beautifully intact at this fortress at the top of the hills which overlook the entire island. What a view! We took dozens and dozens of pictures from this beautiful vantage point. Along our trip down the coast, Roosevelt pointed out many sites of interests, showed us native fruit and nut trees, and gave us wonderful history about the island of St. Kitts. He pullled over briefly to show us a walnut tree, cashew tree, mango trees, and breadfruit trees, while explaining how the island incorporates these fruits and nuts into their culture and economy. Our last stop on our tour, was at the beautiful Frigate Bay for an hour of snorkeling in the calm, translucent water. Since the other family on the tour with us wanted to go to Cockelsheel Beach on the other end of the island, Roosevelt accomodated us both by dropping us off at Frigate Bay Beach for an hour, while then taking the other family to Cockelshell Beach. We LOVED snorkeling with the beautiful fish along the shoreling of Frigate Bay Beach, which was just beautiful. An hour later, right on time, Roosevelt retrieved us and took us back to the Carnival Victory cruise ship at the pier. He self-admittedly has a slight stuttering problem, but we did not hardley notice, and simply loved his tour and his indepth knowledge of this gorgeous island. He truly showed us the very best of St. Kitts, and we look very forward to returning here soon, to spend more time on the island. I definitely recommend this tour; it's the best way to see as much of St. Kitts as possible, in a half-day excursion. Really a wonderful day!

We really did not see much damage at all. The water was somewhat dirty -- lot of silt still in it, and some trash, but other than that, all seemed very much in order. Our travels skipped Puerto Rico and took us to St. Kitts instead.

Are there any private beaches on the island where we could relax and spend a day with the water and some food and drink? thanks. B
Written July 31, 2017
I'm not sure if beaches on Basseterre are technically private. Friar's Bay/Carambola Beach Club is awesome, but there are people who walk through selling a photo with a monkey or offering massages. It is probably the nicest beach (water is warm, beach is sandy vs. rocky), but it does get crowded. Beach umbrellas (which I'd highly recommend) are $10 rental and beach loungers are $10 rental. Both worth it. There's a changing room, bar and restaurant on site. The changing room is probably the least nice thing about the site. No curtains on the showers, JUST a curtain on the "private" changing areas and women and girls were pulling the curtain back non-stop while I was showering sand off. Toilet doors weren't easy to secure. I still enjoyed my visit there, though.

We are interested in the Best of St. Kitts tour. Are there restroom stops along the tour?
Thanks!
Written March 19, 2017
Yes, there is rest room stop along the way but it will be helpful if it is brought to our attention on the day of the tour also, that way we will pay special attention to that guest and stop more often to assure that our guest use the rest rooms as often as they want to.
There is some areas where there won't be rest rooms but we make it up by Stopping just before we get to those areas.
