Warm waters and even warmer temperatures make Nevis a year-round destination, though it’s worth visiting during the island’s Culturama Festival (late July to early August) which celebrates its rich cultural heritage.
Getting there
Planes
Flights with British Airways (www.britishairways.com), American Airlines (www.aa.com) and Delta (www.delta.com) fly into Robert L Bradshaw International Airport (SKB) on neighbouring St Kitts; from here take a ferry or water taxi to Nevis. Nevis is well connected to the USA and Caribbean Islands via smaller airlines and ferry services.
Boats
Fly into St Kitts and take a ferry or private water taxi for the scenic, 45-minute crossing to Nevis across the two-mile section known as the Narrows.
Automobiles
You can easily hail a taxi on the island, but to make the most of the rugged scenery and blissfully secluded location you’ll want to hire a car; you’ll find car-hire kiosks at the airport.
