Everything You Need To Know For The Best Caribbean Vacation in Trinidad

trinidad vacation

The Land of Calypso

Did someone say fashionable fun, awesome adventure, beautiful nature, rum and rhythm, pure energy, and carnival, the greatest show on Earth?  THIS is TRINIDAD. My island home.

Carnival: The Greatest Show on Earth

Trinidad is ultra-independent, inclusive, cosmopolitan, creative and loaded with good family vibe. This island is the authentic heartbeat of the Caribbean; its Cultural Capital. 

Trinidad is the home of the Steel Pan, Calypso, Ex Tempo, Carnival, Soca and Limbo.  Yet, Trinidad is one of the most un-discovered and un-touristic islands of the Caribbean. 

With huge reserves of oil and natural gas that provide more than 90% of the island’s export revenues, Trinidad never needed tourism.  In fact, Trinidadians are one of the most educated, well-heeled, and well-travelled citizens of the Caribbean.

Home to Africans, Arabs, Chinese, European, Indian and Mixed races, where “every creed and race finds an equal place”, the Island of Trinidad is a must-visit if you want to experience the Caribbean in its pure, undiluted form. 

An Unforgettable Caribbean Experience

If you would like an unforgettable experience of nature, and to feel the natural warmth, energy and the intensive vibes of creative, fiercely independent Caribbean people, then you need to visit Trinidad. 

Don’t expect to see crowds of tourists.  Find a local host and feel completely at home.  Create unforgettable memories! You will always want to return.

And while you are at it, don’t forget to visit our completely laid-back sister Island of Tobago.

Trinidad Offers Eco-Adventure

Trinidad is not your typical sun, sand and sea destination. Trinidad offers eco-adventure.

Trinidad’s flora and fauna are among the Caribbean’s most diverse. Hundreds of bird and animal species, as well as thousands of plants, call the country home.

On your visit, spend a day exploring the island by embarking on a hiking trip to Paria Waterfalls, El Cerro Del Aripo or Edith Falls, or plan your vacation to coincide with the turtle-watching season.

A trip to Trinidad would be incomplete without a visit to a mangrove wetland, such as the Caroni swamp, which is home to the Scarlet Ibis, the country’s national bird. Check out Yerette and the Wild Fowl Trust, too. And don’t forget one of the wonders of the world, La Brea Pitch Lake.
