I’ll be back again! - Cockleshell Beach excursion was excellent! We booked this during our stop from the Icon of the Seas. Our driver Elvis arrived at the port on time. He was very informative of the island and made a stop for a scenic photo. When we arrived at the beach, he gave us 4 cold beers and offered water and sodas. We asked that he pick us up at 1pm and he was back on time. At Cockleshell beach they have chairs and umbrellas but they are reserved for the folks booked through the ship. We were able to get 2 chairs and an umbrella for $20 because we were there before the crowd arrived. I recommend you arrived extra early to be able to get one (and be extra polite), otherwise you may not get one. This was a very seamless experience. 10/10 recommend! Not to mention, it’s a lot less than what the ship was charging!

Beautiful beach - Beautiful beach. Restaurants eat each end to get food and drinks and use the restroom. $20 to rent 2 chairs and an umbrella. Spice Mill restaurant has good facilities. View of Nevis can’t be beat. There is a ferry to Nevis from the beach. Would absolutely go to this beach again. Tour guide was excellent. Provided water, soda, and beer for the drive.

Well worth the money! - Had an amazing trip with Elvis W. He took us from the cruise port to Cockleshell beach with a stop at Timothy Hill on the way. He told us all about the island on our drive and made sure to point out points of interest and wildlife along the way. We were able to see a monkey and a mongoose. Water, cold beer, and soda were available to drink and take to the beach. He was on time for all pickup and drop offs and had us back in plenty of time to shop before embarkation . Would definitely go with him again on any return trips!

Highly recommended - Elvis was waiting for us at the dedicated spot and scheduled time. He was very nice. On our drive he told us about St. Kitts and his love for the island. When we arrived at Cockleshell Beach he gave us two options for a pickup time. We chose the early one; since we enjoyed the beach so much we phoned him and he agreed to come later (the second option). Again, he arrived on time and drove us back to the pickup place. For anyone who loves the beach this excursion is definitely worth it.

Fab Trip with Elvis a fantastic driver/guide - Elvis our driver and guide for this trip was waiting for us at the pick up point on time. He was friendly and informative about St Kitts. We stopped at Timothy Hill a great view point of the Atlantic and Caribbean for photos and then on to the beach. We went by the Reggae Reggae bar for sun beds and enjoyed some rum punch. The sea was beautiful and calm and we had a fab few hours at Cockleshell Beach. We would recommend this trip to everyone as a secure way of getting to and from the beach at a reasonable price with lots of interesting information on the way.

Elvis is a great guide! - Elvis was an excellent tour guide and had a lot of great information about the island. The island is beautiful and it was nice to be able to see some of it. The beach however was not at all what I expected. No fault of Elvis at all. I just thought the beach was overcrowded and very hard to enjoy. It felt like we were packed in like sardines. Not an issue paying for beach chairs and umbrellas but they were old and broken. Overall I enjoyed our time with Elvis but did not enjoy the beach. I should also mention there were 4 ships in port this day which could have caused the overcrowding.

Ride with Elvis - Our driver Elvis Williams was there to take us to the beach and was early picking us up to bring us back. A lot of ships were in town so we were a bit worried about getting to the ship as scheduled ... Not a problem.

Ask for the Spice Mill section! - This beach was recommended to us and we went while on a cruise. Make sure you ask to be dropped off at Spice Mill section of the beach which is lovely. Our driver brought us to another area not as nice. I can only think that he gets a kickback for bringing tourists there. On the return trip when we asked why he didn't take us to Spice Mill he said he forgot to ask us (we wouldn't have known anyway, but still...) But do go to Cockleshell Beach. The scenery on the ride is magnificent!
