Traveler’s Guide to Nevis

In October, Nevis daytime temperatures are between 86 - 88 °F with cooler evenings around 75 - 77 °F.

Nevis operates on Atlantic Standard Time year-round. There is no daylight-saving time change. In October it is the same time EST.

The official currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar (XCD) although U.S. dollars (USD) are widely accepted in many hotels, shops and restaurants

Nevis uses the same voltage and plugs as the U.S. — 120 V, 60 Hz, with Type A and Type B outlets. That means no power adapter or converter is needed for U.S. travelers.

Major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express etc.) are accepted especially in hotels, car rentals and most larger shops/restaurants in tourist areas. Smaller establishments (beach bars, small taxis) may prefer or only accept cash.

Tipping is customary but not always mandatory — typically a service charge (~10 %) is added in restaurants/hotels; if not, a tip of 10-15% for good service is usual. All taxes, tips, and gratuities for bellmen, housekeeping, activities and included meals are already covered in your itinerary.

Nevis is safe and friendly—just take basic precautions, secure valuables, and use hotel safes. Tap water is generally safe to drink, though bottled water is widely available. In case of emergency, dial 911 for police, fire, or medical assistance.

In Nevis, the most common ways to get around are by taxi or rental car, as ride-hailing apps like Uber aren’t available on the island. Taxis in Nevis are readily available but unmetered, so it’s best to confirm the fare before starting your ride.

Activities

Each day offers a new way to experience the beauty, culture, and adventure of Nevis—your way. Set sail with the group on a luxurious catamaran sail, gliding across turquoise waters and snorkeling among vibrant coral reefs before relaxing on deck with island refreshments. On land, choose your own pace: trek through tropical trails and coastal roads on the Nevis Hike & Bike Tour, step back in time on the Nevis Historical Tour exploring the island’s storied past, or paddle through crystal-clear waters on an Ocean Kayaking adventure that offers a new perspective of the island’s natural beauty.

No matter your picks, each experience brings you closer to the heart and spirit of Nevis.

Catamaran Snorkel/Sail

Become one with the sea breeze and the salt-kissed air as you board this comfortable catamaran. We’ll hoist the sails, skim over the turquoise Caribbean water, and head to a secluded snorkel cove that’s accessible only by boat — a perfect “away from it all” moment. Once anchored in the calm shallows, slip into your mask and fins (gear provided) and explore vibrant coral, tropical fish, and maybe even sea turtles gliding by. Afterwards, unwind on the deck or on the netting at the front of the catamaran, sip a refreshing beverage from the open bar, and soak in views of Nevis’s lush coastline and volcanic peaks.

Nevis Hike & Bike Tour

Discover the natural beauty of Nevis on this energizing Hike & Bike adventure. Your journey begins with a guided nature walk through lush tropical trails, where you’ll learn about local plants, wildlife, and the island’s volcanic landscape. After the hike, hop onto a comfortable bicycle and ride through charming villages, coastal paths, and historic sites—feeling the warm breeze and taking in stunning views of the Caribbean Sea.
This tour blends gentle adventure with authentic island culture, giving you a refreshing, immersive way to experience Nevis.

Nevis Historical Tour

Step into the rich past of Nevis on this captivating historical tour. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll explore the island’s most iconic landmarks—from the birthplace of Alexander Hamilton to centuries-old sugar plantations, colonial churches, and charming villages that tell the stories of early island life. Along the way, enjoy scenic views of Nevis Peak and the Caribbean Sea as you learn about the people, culture, and events that shaped this beautiful island.

Ocean Kayaking Tour

Paddle along Nevis’s stunning coastline on this refreshing Ocean Kayak Tour. With calm, clear waters and panoramic views of Nevis Peak, you’ll glide past hidden coves, pristine beaches, and vibrant marine life just beneath the surface. Guided by experienced instructors, this easygoing adventure is perfect for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike. Enjoy the gentle rhythm of the Caribbean Sea as you take in the island’s natural beauty from a whole new perspective.

Spa at Four Seasons

Discover pure island tranquility at the Spa at Four Seasons Resort Nevis, where Caribbean serenity meets world-class wellness. Tucked within lush tropical gardens and inspired by the natural beauty of Nevis Peak, the spa offers a peaceful sanctuary for relaxation, renewal, and wholehearted restoration.

Choose from an elevated menu of signature treatments, including rejuvenating facials, tension-melting massages, and body therapies infused with local herbs, coconut oil, and island spices. Private outdoor treatment cottages allow you to unwind to the sound of swaying palms and ocean breezes, creating a truly immersive wellness experience.
