St Kitts Private ATV Tour: Wingfield & Lambert’s Estate Ride

Summary

Explore St Kitts’ Sugar Cane Trails on a Private ATV Ride

If you want to see St Kitts beyond the usual tourist spots, this private ATV tour lets you ride at your own pace through historic estates and hidden trails, guided by locals who know every shortcut and story.

What’s the experience like?

The first thing I noticed was the earthy scent—damp leaves and a hint of sugarcane, hanging in the air as we geared up at the base. There’s this little drinks bar right by the check-in desk, so you can grab a cold bottle of water while your guide sorts out helmets and goggles. The place feels relaxed, not rushed, and there’s even a spot to wash up if you get muddy (which, honestly, you probably will).

Our guide, Marcus, had us laughing within minutes. He ran through safety basics—nothing too stiff, just enough to make us feel ready. Once we got going, the trail cut straight into these winding paths lined with wildflowers and old stone walls. You’ll hear the crunch of gravel under your wheels and maybe spot a monkey darting across if you’re lucky. The ride isn’t just about speed; you set your own pace, which is perfect if you want to stop for photos or just take in the mountain views.

The real highlight? Rolling up to Wingfield Estate, where moss creeps over centuries-old ruins. Marcus pointed out the old rum distillery—turns out, Sam Jefferson (yep, related to Thomas Jefferson) owned this place back in the day. Sometimes you catch a whiff of molasses near the ruins, especially if it’s humid. If you’re into history, you’ll love hearing how sugarcane became rum right here. We even had time to poke around Lambert’s Estate, another quiet spot most tours skip.
