I recently traveled to Trinidad to visit my close friend who lives there and learned so much about the West Indies nation from her! Here’s a guide to the best things to do in Trinidad and Tobago.
Tucked in the warm embrace of the Caribbean Sea lies a country often overlooked by many: the vibrant duo, Trinidad and Tobago. Its history dates back to Christopher Columbus’s arrival in 1498 and weaves together a captivating narrative of heritage and natural beauty. As the southernmost island in the Caribbean, it sits just 8 miles from the coast of Venezuela.
As the Caribbean’s most industrially developed nation, Trinidad and Tobago thrives more on petroleum and natural gas production than tourism. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a fantastic destination. Trinidad and Tobago embodies a dynamic culture, a vibrant tapestry woven from African, Indian, European, and indigenous traditions.
In Trinidad, the air pulses with the rhythms of calypso, soca, and the enchanting melodies of the steelpan, particularly during the exuberant Carnival festivities. Here dazzling costumes and parades paint the streets with color. Tobago’s beaches are pristine and tranquil making this part of the dual nation a lover’s quest. The nation’s diverse cuisine, a fusion of Creole and East Indian flavors, is spicy, flavorful and rich in culture. Here is a guide to help you plan your trip to Trinidad and Tobago.
How to Get to Trinidad and Tobago
Although you won’t find as many budget deals as other Caribbean islands, Trinidad is served by regular flights from the UK, US, Europe and South America. The Caribbean Airlines flies to Piarco International Airport regularly from Miami, New York and Toronto.
JetBlue also flies from major cities in the US. Ticket fares peak between Dec-Mar as well as before and after the carnival with a ticket going for about $550. The rest of the year tickets are around $100 and less.
You can also book a Caribbean cruise that stops in Trinidad; Iona cruise ship runs Caribbean cruises as well as Transatlantic cruises from the UK to Trinidad.
Things To Do in Trinidad
Trinidad is a captivating blend of bustling city life, wild jungles and untouched mangrove swamps. The island has a fascinating tapestry of cultures, where Indian, African, European, and indigenous traditions intermingle harmoniously. Here are the top things to do in Trinidad;
1. Explore Downtown Port of Spain
The capital of Trinidad, the Port of Spain, might not be the prettiest place, but it’s rich in history and character. The city is laid out in geometric patterns with parks and squares. At the centre of the city is the the Gothic-style Holy Trinity Cathedral, surrounded by the business district.
From that area radiate many of the most important streets, and around it are several buildings of historical and architectural interest, including the President’s House, which stands in the grounds of the Botanical Gardens; Whitehall, which houses the office of the prime minister.
2. Visit Queen’s Park Savannah
Found at the heart of Port of Spain, the Queen’s Park Savannah represents both natural beauty and historical significance. Spanning a sprawling 260 acres, this verdant oasis was once part of the St Ann’s Estate, where sugar canes were famously cultivated. Today, it is the city’s largest open green space, offering a tranquil retreat from the urban hustle.
Shaded by majestic samaan and poui trees, the Savannah provides a respite from the Caribbean sun. While here, you can go for strolls or runs. But it’s not just a place for quiet contemplation; the Savannah comes alive with cultural festivities throughout the year. Located within this enormous green space is the Botanic Gardens, Emperor Valley Zoo, and the National Academy of the Performing Arts.
From the vibrant annual Carnival parade to the grandeur of Dimanche Gras, the North and Grand Stands witness various cultural celebrations.
3. Admire the Magnificent Seven
Surrounding Queen’s Park Savannah are the illustrious “Magnificent Seven”, a string of historical mansions that have become iconic landmarks of Trinidad. The most prominent one is Stollmeyer’s Castle, also called “Killarney”. It was built for entrepreneur Charles Stollmeyer in 1904 by Scotsman Robert Gillies who found inspiration in the Balmoral Castle of Scotland. Featuring battlemented turrets, this fabulous Scottish Baronial pile really does have the feel of a castle.
Another striking mansion is Mille Fleurs, featuring a balanced and symmetrical architectural style best described as French Provincial. This charming mansion was built in 1904 under the direction of renown architect George Brown of the Trinidad Trading Company and as a gift to Dr Enrique Prada, who would serve as the Mayor of Port of Spain. It’s free to enter; head upstairs to the verandah for a view of the park.
4. Visit The President’s House
On the northern side of the Queen’s Park Savannah lies the President’s House, a symbol of Trinidad and Tobago’s rich history and architectural grandeur. Serving as the official residence of the President, this iconic landmark portrays the island nation’s Victorian-era heritage.
Constructed between 1873 and 1876, its stunning facade reflects the elegance of Victorian-style colonial architecture. It is adorned with locally sourced blue limestone from the quarries of Laventille and Piccadilly. The roof, decorated with Welsh Dutchess slate, adds a touch of sophistication to its timeless beauty.
5. Take A Selfie At Woodford Square
Located within downtown Port of Spain, Woodford Square is a symbol of Trinidad and Tobago’s rich history and vibrant culture. Formerly known as Brunswick Square, this iconic space was reborn under the stewardship of Governor Sir Ralph Woodford. Sir Woodford oversaw its reconstruction following the devastating fire of 1808.
Today, the square is a dynamic hub of activity, hosting everything from political rallies and religious ceremonies to lively discussions and craft markets. It’s a place where the echoes of the independence movement resonate, earning it the moniker, “The University of Woodford Square.” For the modern traveler, the square is a wonderful spot for that Instagram snap.
6. Listen out for the Steelpan
The steelpan was born out of the ingenuity and creativity of the citizens. Remarkably, it is the only new acoustic instrument to emerge and gain global recognition in the entirety of the 20th century. In Trinidad, the steelpan isn’t just an instrument; it’s a way of life.
It’s during the Carnival season that its true spirit comes alive. As the island pulses with energy and excitement, steelband performances take center stage, exuding an unrivaled sense of abandonment and pure musical joy. Here, in the heart of the festivities, up to a hundred-member strong steel drum orchestras engage in a face-off during the prestigious Panorama Competition.
For a taste of the steelpan, this music school provides a taster class or a short-term course if you’re interested to learn the basics.
7. Attend A Carnival
Attending the Carnival in Trinidad is an experience that lives with you forever. The street parades are a great way to immerse in pulsating rhythms and vibrant colors of the island. The festivities kick off just after Christmas and culminate on Ash Wednesday.
The grand street parade that takes place on Carnival Monday and Tuesday is one of the most anticipated. The air is filled with excitement as revelers from all walks of life come together to celebrate Trinidad’s rich cultural heritage. If you’re not visiting Trinidad during Carnival but want to learn about it, make sure to check out Trinidad and Tobago Carnival Museum.
8. Check Out Fort George
Take a walk down memory lane with a trip to Fort George. Located on the northwestern hills of Port of Spain, Fort George is a testament to Trinidad and Tobago’s history. Commissioned in 1804 by Brigadier-General Sir Thomas Hislop, the fortifications were constructed to safeguard the bustling Port of Spain from potential threats.
But as peace prevailed, the need for military defense waned, leading to the cessation of military activities on the site in 1846. An elegant wooden signal station, crafted by Prince Kofi Nti, son of King Kofi Calcali of Ashantee West Africa, was built in 1833.
Renamed Fort George, the site offers you a captivating blend of history and scenic beauty. While here, I enjoyed the panoramic vistas of Port of Spain, saw ancient cannons, walked through intriguing dungeons, and saw several artifacts. Book Fort George Sightseeing Tour.
9. Spend a Day at Maracas Bay
Lauded as the best beach on Trinidad, Maracas Bay is located on the northern coast, just a 45-minute drive from Port of Spain. One of the best things t0 do in Trinidad and Tobago is to make the scenic drive there which an experience on its own. I recommend renting a car and stopping at the viewpoints along the way. Just be prepared for a winding drive, as the road to Maracas Bay involves driving around mountains. If you don’t drive, book a day trip to Maracas where all the logistics are taken care of.
Besides having a long beach perfect for swimming, Maracas Bay is also known as having the best bake and shark in Trinidad. Bake and shark is a sandwich filled with deep-fried shark meat and various toppings, served on a fried dough bun called a bake. The shark meat is lightly battered and fried to perfection, and you can choose from a variety of toppings like lettuce, tomato, pineapple, and more. It’s absolutely delicious and is a must-try when in Trinidad.
10. Visit The Hanuman Statue
It comes as a surprise to many that almost 40{1eea65b97f16eaff88b6449ec4bd61d0a337087596df763590ffb883bdd967ce} of the Trinidadian population are of Indian descent. The relationship between India and Trinidad and Tobago started in 1845, when 225 indentured labourers were shipped to Trinidad from India. Over the next century, more Indians than any other nationalities migrated to Trinidad.
Today, 37{1eea65b97f16eaff88b6449ec4bd61d0a337087596df763590ffb883bdd967ce} of Trinidad and Tobago’s population are of pure Indian descent and Hindu religion. The Lord Hanuman statue is a testament to the island’s Hindu culture. Standing majestic over the quaint village of Carapichaima, the awe-inspiring 85-foot-tall statue commands reverence and admiration. As the largest Hanuman murti outside of India, it is a beacon of spiritual devotion for Hindus around the world.
Lord Hanuman, revered as the most faithful disciple of Lord Rama, symbolizes strength, bravery, and unwavering loyalty. His towering presence at the Dattatreya Yoga Center and Mandir inspires devotees to not only gaze upward in awe but also to grow spiritually. To visit the temple, I booked an island tour that included transport and stops at various points on Trinidad.
11. See The Gasparee Caves
Hidden away on the island of Gaspar Grande just off Trinidad’s north-western coast, lies a natural wonder waiting to be explored – the Gasparee Caves. The intricate cave system reveals wonders of nature such as the magnificent stalagmites and stalactites that seem to defy gravity.
As you venture deeper, you’ll be greeted by limestone formations that have taken on the shapes of dinosaurs and other mystical creatures. This sparks the imagination of adventurers young and old.
But the most enchanting sight of all is the glistening blue grotto, illuminated by sunlight streaming through a hole at the top of the cave. It’s a scene straight out of a fairytale, inviting you to dip your toes into its crystal-clear waters and lose yourself in the magic of this subterranean oasis.
12. Visit La Brea Pitch Lake
On Trinidad’s southwestern coast lies the awe-inspiring La Brea Pitch Lake, a marvel that has earned its place as the Eighth Wonder of the World. La Brea is essentially a natural asphalt lake, with about 10 million tonnes of asphalt held within its depths. The ashpalt here is exported to lots of countries.
Visiting the lake is definitely one of the best things to do in Trinidad and Tobago, especially if you’re traveling with kids. The lake also offers a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts thanks to the bountiful birdlife and natural sulfur pools that lure you into the therapeutic waters. You have to join a guided tour to visit the lake, but the tours are cheap and guides are very informative and interesting. Getting here is tricky unless you have a car, but otherwise you can book a day trip here.
13. Visit Nelson Island
Nelson Island, the largest among the “Five Islands” west of Port of Spain in the Gulf of Paria, has a history as rich as its landscape. Initially a crucial fishing and trading hub for the Warao and Nepuyo tribes, the island later evolved into a gateway for East Indian immigrants.
Nelson Island bore witness to darker chapters, serving as a detention center for Jewish Holocaust refugees in the 1930s. It also housed political prisoners during the labor rights movements of the 1930s and 1940s. Today, you can explore its hauntingly evocative remnants, from dilapidated buildings and crumbling jail cells to serene trails.
Things To Do in Tobago
Unlike Trinidad, Tobago is a pristine island that’s largely unspoiled and offers a wealth of pristine beaches and lush nature. While Trinidad is a developed industrial powerhouse, Tobago is a hidden paradise with turquoise waters, white sands, and towering palm trees. Here are things to do in Tobago;
14. Visit Argyle Waterfall
Hidden amidst the lush greenery of Roxborough, Argyle Waterfall is every nature enthusiast’s dream destination. Surrounded by giant boulders and the verdant hinterland, this three-tier cascade of water cascades an impressive 175 feet into a shimmering pool below. It’s not just a sight to behold but an adventure waiting to unfold.
Accessible via a 15-minute trek from the Roxborough Visitor Service Co-op office, the journey to Argyle is as delightful as the destination itself. As you make your way along the well-marked trail, keep your senses sharp. Listen for the thundering roar of the falls, a symphony of nature that echoes through the forest long before the falls come into view. If you don’t have your own transport, it’s best to book a guided tour.
15. Visit Tobago Cocoa Estate
Not far from the Argyll Waterfall, you will find the Tobago Cocoa Estate – a paradise for chocolate enthusiasts. Established in 2006, this cocoa bean farm offers you a tantalizing journey through the history and production of cocoa in Tobago. Here, you will gain insight into the meticulous process of cultivating cocoa beans and transforming them into the delectable treat we know as chocolate.
Tobago Cocoa Estate takes pride in producing single-estate, 100 percent Trinitario cocoa, ensuring a quality product from bean to bar. A highlight of any visit is the opportunity to indulge in a rum and chocolate tasting session, a true symphony for the senses.
On the guided tour, you will learn about the intricacies of rum distillation and Caribbean rum as you savor aged rum paired with exquisite chocolates. Amidst this sensory journey, the estate’s heavenly creation – the Buccoo Reef Sea salt chocolate stood out for me.
16. Visit The Corbin Local Wildlife Park
Located within the forest-covered part of Tobago, just a stone’s throw from the windward coast’s Hope Bay, lies the Corbin Local Wildlife Park. Founded by Roy Corbin, a former hunter turned passionate conservationist, this nonprofit sanctuary portrays his dedication to preserving Tobago’s indigenous wildlife.
Here, you will encounter several native species, from the elusive opossum and the armadillo to majestic iguanas, agile agoutis, and sinuous boa constrictors. Large enclosures blend seamlessly into the natural landscape, providing spacious habitats for the park’s inhabitants. There is also a tranquil lily-covered pond for a wild caiman.
Guided walks, often led by Corbin himself, offer an immersive journey into the heart of Tobago’s wildlife and forests. The walks offer a captivating experience for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.
17. Swim At Nylon Pool
Whereas Tobago has countless swimming spots, Nylon Pool stood out for me. Located just south of Buccoo Reef, this natural wonder is accessible via a picturesque boat ride from either Pigeon Point or Store Bay. Many opt for the famed glass-bottom boats to glimpse the beautiful undersea.
Loved for its serene, lagoon-like ambiance and shallow depths, Nylon Pool offers a blissful escape from the world’s hustle and bustle. As you lie back and let the warm waters cradle you, it’s easy to feel the stresses of everyday life melt away.
18. Scour the Untouched Pirate’s Bay
Head to Tobago’s picturesque Charlotteville to see the legendary Pirate’s Bay, a tranquil haven steeped in history and natural beauty. Once a favored haunt of the Caribbean’s swashbuckling buccaneers, today Pirate’s Bay lures to modern-day travelers seeking solace on Tobago’s secluded shores.
Accessible via a scenic boat ride from Charlotteville’s timber jetty or an adventurous trek through the lush rainforest, the journey to Pirate’s Bay is an adventure in itself. As you descend the concrete path flanked by verdant foliage and navigate the steep steps, anticipation builds with each passing moment.
But the reward is worth it. As you emerge onto the soft sands, you’re greeted by a stretch of beach framed by tropical forests and glimmering silhouettes of yachts. The crystal-clear waters are a great way to escape the tropical heat and marvel at the vibrant marine life. The easiest way to get there is to book this Pirate’s Bay day trip.
19. Hike in Main Ridge Forest Reserve Tobago
The Main Ridge Forest Reserve in Tobago is a treasure trove of biodiversity and historical significance. The rainforest has several endemic species that trace their roots back to mainland South America. The reserve showcases a unique blend of flora and fauna, including red squirrels, agoutis, and armadillos, some of which are found nowhere else on the islands.
In this verdant sanctuary lies Tobago’s highest point. The Main Ridge Forest Reserve also offers foresight of conservation efforts dating back to the 18th century. Remarkably, it holds the distinction of being the oldest legally protected forest in the world.
Over the span of 11 years, this reserve was carved out of the wilderness, thwarting the deforestation ambitions of early colonial plantation owners. Today, this jewel not only serves as a haven for wildlife but also as a haven for those seeking solace in the tranquility of nature’s embrace.
20. Go Bird Watching At Little Tobago
Like a precious gem in the embrace of the Caribbean Sea, Little Tobago lures adventurers and nature enthusiasts with its rich avian tapestry and intriguing history. Perched about 3 km off the coast of the charming village of Speyside, this enclave was once a thriving cotton plantation.
But after the demise of the cotton industry, Little Tobago lay dormant until Sir William Ingram breathed new life into its shores in 1898. He transformed the island into a sanctuary for avian wonders, importing 24 pairs of Birds of Paradise from Aru Island of New Guinea in 1909.
His endeavor was rewarded and soon Little Tobago earned the nickname “Bird of Paradise Island.” Today, you can trace the footsteps of these exotic birds along well-marked trails. Unless you’re an expert birder, it’s not easy to spot birds in the wild. I recommend booking a guided birdwatching tour; you will get bthe chance to marvel at nesting colonies of Red-Billed, Tropicbird, Red-footed, and Brown Boobies from the cliffside vantage points.
21. Head To Pigeon Point Beach
On Tobago’s northwest tip lies Pigeon Point Beach, where the crystal-clear waters are ever so inviting for a snorkeling session. Divided into three distinct sections—North, Main, and South Beach—this coastal haven offers a slice of paradise for every beach enthusiast. However, it’s Main Beach that steals the spotlight as one of the Caribbean’s premier snorkeling destinations.
Beneath the shade of Pigeon Point’s iconic thatched-roof jetty, snorkelers can plunge into the vibrant turquoise sea and discover a kaleidoscope of marine life. Joining the flotilla of boats adrift in the water, adventurers are treated to a mesmerizing display of coral gardens and tropical fish.
For an immersive experience, take guided snorkeling tours to the nearby Buccoo Reef. The tours reveal an underwater world teeming with wonders. With just a snorkel and mask in hand, you can encounter a stunning array of ocean inhabitants, from dazzling blue parrotfish to graceful green loggerhead turtles.
22. Snorkel At Goat Island
Renowned for its vibrant marine life, Goat Island offers a captivating glimpse into the mesmerizing world beneath the waves. As you glide through the crystal-clear waters, you’ll be greeted by a kaleidoscope of colorful coral reefs teeming with life.
23. Mountain Bike Along the Coast
Scouring the island on a bike is one of the most breathtaking experiences to enjoy in Tobago. Traverse through the enchanting mangroves of west Tobago, where the lush greenery and tranquil waters create a serene backdrop for your adventure.
Chala’s trail in the north is another interesting route. The trail leads through rugged terrain and has several twists and turns. But for the ultimate adrenaline rush, journey through the Main Ridge Forest Reserve. Here dense foliage and exhilarating slopes await the most daring cyclists.

How to Get around Trinidad and Tobago
By Car
In Port of Spain, it’s easy to get around by foot or by public bus. But if you want to explore the island outside of the capital city, then it’s wise to rent a car. Public transport isn’t reliable or safe, and there are many far-flung parts like Maracas Bay that can only be reached by car. On Tobago Island, you’ll definitely need a car if you want to see anything.
The roads on the dual nation can veer from smooth to rugged, so be prepared for portholes. Also, the driving style here is more spirited than what many are accustomed to, so make sure to get insurance when renting a car. For reliable service and competitive rates, I always choose DiscoverCars.com for my rentals.

By Taxi
If you dread the idea of driving in a foreign country then worry not. Getting around Trinidad and Tobago by taxi is a wonderful option. These taxis look like regular passenger cars and blend seamlessly into the traffic. However, they have one distinct feature: their license plates feature the letter “H.”
However, there is some planning required to make the most of taxis in Trinidad and Tobago. While catching a ride from your hotel might seem convenient, it often comes with a steeper price tag. If you want to save more on taxis, wait at designated taxi stands on street corners or hail a cab directly off the streets.
Since fares aren’t metered, you must negotiate a price with the driver before embarking on your journey. Typically, a one-way trip will set you back about $1.
By Bus
Getting around Trinidad and Tobago by bus offers both adventure and a touch of spontaneity. The islands’ Public Transport Service Corporation oversees bus routes across Trinidad’s major cities. The buses follow set routes and have no specific timetable. Tickets can be procured by cash only at most bus terminals.
Tobago also also has an economical bus service but it is highly unreliable. Its routes start from Scarborough’s bus terminal and extend to Crown Point, Plymouth, and various villages. The buses set off bright and early from 6 a.m.

Is It Safe to Travel To Trinidad and Tobago?
Recently, Trinidad and Tobago has been in the news not for the right reason. The crime rate has been increasing and there’s now a high level of violent crime. Gang-related attacks and shootings are increasing around the city centre of Port of Spain, including Laventille, Morvant and Barataria. Violent criminals often carry out attacks in vehicles, ranging from the threat of violence to sexual assault and robbery, kidnapping for ransom, rape and murder.
You can reduce the risk of being targeted when on foot by:
- avoiding unlit areas at night
- using well-populated roads and paths
- traveling with a local guide
