Port Zante is the largest cruise port in Saint Kitts and Nevis. The pier area consists of three separate piers designated for cruise ships. The pier area can currently accommodate up to four large cruise ships simultaneously. On busy days, when more than four ships arrive, the ships without a pier either use the cargo port or tender passengers ashore. The Port terminal includes various amenities such as restaurants, shops, cafes and a car park. The port's location could not be better, as it is only a short ten-minute walk to downtown Basseterre or "The Circus" as the locals call it. There is a duty-free shopping area where passengers can buy different goods tax-free. However, in order to benefit from this duty-free rates, local vendors might ask for a proof of non-residence such as a cruise ship card, a foreign driver's license, or a passport.

The imposing 16th-century walls that surrounded the city are still largely intact, and provide a stunning backdrop to the whole city, especially along the seafront. The ramparts, called bastioni, house numerous restaurants, bars, cafes and shops, which are great for a drink at sunset in the evening breeze.

Hunting is a big part of the culture and traditions here in the north, and it has been ever since the first inhabitants settled in the area. This close to nature, the locals have had a unique opportunity to follow deer populations, recognise individuals, and get a good understanding of game, thus securing sustainable hunting of a viable wildlife population.
