Saint Kitts | Liamuiga ~ Fertile Island 🇰🇳 🌴 🌄

Saint Kitts, Saint Christopher Island

Originally the mountain range that today is partly submerged, creates the islands of St. Kitts, Nevis, Saba and Sint Eustatius.

St. Kitts’ classic silhouette is created by three distinct groups of volcanic peaks. The Mount Misery Range, Verchilds Range and the Olivees Range, from NW to SE. The dormant volcano of Mount Liamuiga, (Mount Misery), is the highest point at 1156m high and located in the North West range.

Liamuiga ~ Fertile Island

St. Kitts was settled centuries before the Europeans arrived. The Archaic people, the Saladoid, Igneri / Arawaks and then the Kalinago, the Carib people, arrived to the green island and named it Liamuiga ~ Fertile Island before the island became home to British and French colonies in the mid-1620s.

This beautifully lush island offers a wide range of outdoor adventure activities. Hiking, zip-lining and much more in tropical rainforests with spectacular views. The coastline provides exceptional diving and playground for a myriad of water sports.
