Why We Think Nevis is a Hidden Gem in the Caribbean
This week I’m talking about an exciting vacation location that I hadn’t heard of until recently! This hidden gem is the island Nevis in the Caribbean!

How do I get there?
You will need to fly to the island of St. Kitts, then take a 7 minute ferry to Nevis. This was super simple and easy to navigate.
How long should I stay?
We only stayed for 4 nights and it was not enough!
If I go back, I would stay about a week.
Where should I stay?
We stayed in a bungalow at Paradise Beach.
I suggest using Airbnb to find a house for your family!
If you want more of a resort feel, there is a Four Seasons on the island. However, I thought the houses on Airbnb looked nicer.
Why visit Nevis?
It is so relaxing! The pace is much slower here and it’s a great place to unwind.
What can I do there?
Ride on a catamaran boat! We did a sunset sail and it was amazing.
Snorkeling
Hang out on the beach
Hiking (they encourage you to take a guide. Not sure if this is necessary, but we did it and it was nice.)
Our guide was awesome! Look up Baba as your hike guide if you go here!
Cooking class
This was not what I was expecting! We made very earthy food using produce that we picked from a garden.
Volcanic hot springs
We didn’t do this, but apparently, there’s a place to rent golf carts to drive and see monkeys!
Funky Monkey company does ATV rides!
How do I get around?
You could rent a car, but we hired a taxi driver to come and get us for each of our excursions.
Our driver was Marvin!
What’s the food like?
The food was unexpectedly expensive. But delicious!
You could also grocery shop and cook back at your house.
Restaurants we went to:
Bananas
Indian Summer
Golden Rock
Sunshine’s - so good!
