Our heritage park where horse races historically took place, surrounded by large colonial mansions. Walk to the Botanical Gardens or find a park bench to sit and enjoy an ice cold coconut or a snow cone.
An hour away on a gorgeous winding road, you'll find our country's most famous beach known for its shark and bake sandwiches. Do not miss the tamarind sauce, pepper sauce and garlic sauce. Along the way, stop at the "Lookout" for popular Trini snacks like salt prunes, mango chow, kurma, and more.
Phase II, Invaders, and All Stars are all amazing steel pan bands to watch. They play our local music soca or calypso on the steel pan, our national instrument. This is a fun night activity that includes beers, dancing and good laughs.
A 300-metre stretch of roadway where the bamboo stalks bend towards each other above the road. It's based in an old army area that has gorgeous scenery dotted with dilapidated houses. There’s a farm to table restaurant nestled in the hills called U-Pick that's perfect for breakfast.
This is undoubtedly Teresa's favorite activity in Trinidad. Hire a trusted local guide (Dewayne is great!) to take your group of friends on an excursion through our incredible rainforest. Paria, Guanapo Gorges, Turure, Rincon, Angel Falls and Mermaid Pools are fantastic.
Book a sunset cruise on Trinidad's largest swamp with Nanan's Eco Tours. When the sun sets, you will experience our national bird the Scarlet Ibis taking flight.
Rent a boat for a day to cruise the beautiful waters along the Northwest Coast of Trinidad, or a seaside rental to stay on a limestone island for a few nights. If you get the chance to explore the islands by boat, Gaspree Caves is a grotto that's a must see!
Home to the rare nocturnal Oilbird, the Centre covers 1,300 acres of protected rainforest, which houses a rich biota with an outstanding species list that includes native mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and butterflies, with a variety of flowering fauna. You spend a day at the center exploring the waterfalls and watching birds, or extend your stay for a night.
An area where the famous leatherback turtles come to lay eggs. You'll be visiting during hatching season, when hundreds of baby turtles dig through the sand to reach the shoreline. It's magical! But you need to rent a car and make a two-day trip due to the long drive.
A beach that's quite a long drive away — but the scenery is magnificent with coconut trees lining each side of the road. Worth a day trip! There's a fun little shack in the middle of the trees that functions like a take-one-drop-one library. There's also a place called Ducky's on the stretch that bakes fish in banana leaves — the old school way. If you wanna stay down there for a night or two, Point Radix homes are the best.
