Sport & Activities
Watersports: Swimming is excellent; most hotels have freshwater pools and some have their own beaches. Scuba and snorkelling are catered for and beach hotels generally have equipment. Several Basseterre skippers are equipped to take scuba parties. There are dozens of unexplored wrecks around the islands. Sailing boats can be hired from beach hotels, although Nevis has very limited facilities. Fast boats and water-skiing equipment are available for hire. Fishing trips can be organised. Deep-sea fishing is a speciality.
Other: An 18-hole international golf championship course is at Frigate Bay and a 9-hole course at Golden Rock, both on St Kitts. There is also an 18-hole championship golf course on Nevis. A number of tennis courts are available on both islands, and clubs welcome visitors. Day passes can be purchased. Many of the hotels have their own (mainly hard) tennis courts. Some courts are floodlit for evening play. Horseriding in the rainforest or on the beach can be arranged through hotels. There are several hiking trails leading into the mountains or through the rainforest. Local guides can be arranged through hotels. Other sports enjoyed and watched include cricket and football.
