Creator's Key Takeaways

The ship wanted a $150 for this short excursion. I paid $20 and I'm going to show you exactly what the $20 got me

Walk right outside the St. Kitts cruise port gate and the local taxi operators will take you to the exact same stops.

The ship wanted $150 for this. I paid $20 for the same stops, same views, 1/7 of the price.

If you skip the ship excursion and take the local taxi tour, you get the gardens, the rocky views, and one of the best views in the Caribbean

Creator's Tips & Advice

Skip the expensive ship excursions and take the local taxi tour outside the port gate for a fraction of the price.
Visit the local craft market just outside Port Zante for authentic handmade jewelry and artwork.
Save your appetite for things other than port food as it is often overpriced.
