I'm a friendly, social, and witty person who would love to connect with you! Born and raised in St. Kitts, I have come to appreciate the island I call home. From its national parks, fertile land, and calm Caribbean waters to the rough Atlantic seas, I love it all. With its warm beaches, intimate spots, picturesque views, and kind, loving people, my heart beats to the symphony of "life on St. Kitts". Whether it's the island's colorful homes, historic buildings, curvy roads, or the faint images of distant beauty, I sync with "life on St. Kitts". The rhythms of our ancestors, the beats of our present culture, the fragrance of our flora, and our fine foods keep me going to the tune of "life in St. Kitts." Combining this with my experience as a tour guide, my why is to share a personal journey with you as you discover... uncover my island. I've been an official tour guide since 2015. Therefore, because of my love for exploring, I guarantee a satisfying tour. I'm academically inclined, so I use this to bring a knowledgeable perspective to our excursions. Lastly, in my evenings, I work at a radio station, and as a communicator at heart, I always look forward to connecting as I introduce you to this piece of paradise.

Overview of your Basseterre tour

Join me in exploring my Island! Come on an adventurous tour blending driving & hiking with history & culture. Formerly named Mt Misery now Mount Liamuiga is a stratovolcano that stands tall on the northern end of St Kitts. Learn how this volcano has shaped most of our island. On the commute, enjoy a scenic drive, as you learn of our island passing through our capital city, academic areas, and other communities such as a former slave "free village." See lush mountains while looking at the generally calm Caribbean Sea. Spend your day with me, who's been referred to as a knowledgeable, witty, personable guide. Also learn about our nature and livestock, such as Vervet Monkeys. Going through some farms and former sugarcane fields, we'll hike from 700 ft to approx' 3100 ft of our volcano's 3, 792 ft. summit. Overlook the volcano's crater, and have a panoramic view of the community below where we hiked from, along with a view of the neighboring island's volcano.

Janeel provided the exact experience requested. 100% Private tour up the volcano at a speed most people wouldn’t be comfortable with! Because we were able to get thru the hike so quickly, he also took us on an additional stop at the British Fort as we headed back to our cruise ship. He was very knowledgeable and provided great historical and national facts as we were driving and touring the fort. I specifically wanted to find a small / local guide instead of booking thru the ships big companies and he fits that perfectly. Highly recommend his services!

This was a hike my son and I will never forget! This was the first time Janeel had a taken a 6 year old up the volcano (youngest was 7), and man I don't think he knew what he was getting in to with this kid. He handled him like a champ, though and gave us the best experience we could have ever asked for! He was so patient and kind. Knowledgeable about the forest and all the things we were seeing. He had an answer for all of our million questions lol. After the hike we had an awesome local lunch, of ribs, mac and cheese and salad. So good. I would recommend Janeel and his team to anyone visiting St. Kitts! Thank you guys for a wonderful experience!

Had a great trip with Janeel. The volcano hike was amazing. This would have been difficult to do on our own. While parts of the trail are marked well, the final portion is more of a rock scramble and it was very helpful to have an experienced guide with us. We also had an informative tour of the island and enjoyed a nice local lunch! Great communication while planning the trip, again when we were packing for the trip, and finally on the meetup logistics for the day of our tour. Will definitely use Janeel again whenever we visit St Kitts in the future.

Our family had a great day hiking Mt Liamuiga. Janeel was extremely helpful getting our reservation, transportation and plan just right for us. The climb was challenging but completely worth the effort, and the guidance and encouragement from Djae and Elly gave us all a chance to just follow their lead and enjoy the experience. Everyone took good care of us from start to finish. We had a lot of laughs with them and made great memories.

I highly recommend the Volcano Hike with Janeel! Our family had such a wonderful experience with this tour. The hike itself was challenging and beautiful. The view at the top was incredible! Janeel did an excellent job guiding us to the top (and back down!). He was informative and well versed in the trail. He made sure everyone was comfortable during the entire trip and we loved the banana bread!
