Immerse yourself in the beauty, culture, and wildlife of Trinidad with this full-day adventure. From the vibrant streets of Port of Spain to the serene mangroves of the Caroni Bird Sanctuary, this tour offers an unforgettable experience of Trinidad’s diverse landscapes and rich heritage.
Your journey begins in Port of Spain, where you’ll explore the city’s highlights, including historic downtown buildings and the Queen’s Park Savannah, home to the stunning Magnificent Seven—a row of colonial-style mansions. Learn about the city’s past and its architectural beauty as you take in the bustling atmosphere.
Next, take a scenic drive along the winding North Coast Road, with breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, before arriving at the famous Maracas Bay. This popular beach, framed by lush rainforest-clad mountains, invites you to relax and unwind. Spend 1.5 hours soaking in the sun, taking a refreshing swim, or strolling along the sandy shores. Don’t miss the chance to try a local delicacy—a crispy shark sandwich (cost on own), served with homemade bread and a variety of delicious Caribbean condiments.
After your time at the beach, your adventure continues with a cross-country drive to the lush wetlands of the Caroni Bird Sanctuary. Board a large flat-bottomed boat and glide through the peaceful waterways surrounded by intricate mangrove forests. As you navigate the narrow channels, you’ll marvel at the diverse wildlife that calls this area home, all set against the majestic backdrop of the Northern Range mountains.
The highlight of your journey is the spectacular sight of Trinidad’s national bird, the Scarlet Ibis. As the sun begins to set, flocks of these bright red birds fill the sky, creating a stunning display as they descend into the mangroves to roost for the night. The peaceful stillness and awe-inspiring view of these graceful birds against the backdrop of a colorful sunset make for an unforgettable experience.
This tour is the perfect way to experience the best of Trinidad’s city life, coastal beauty, and natural wonders—all in one incredible day!
