The drive to Maracas Bay is spectacular and easily completed in 2 hours.
Tour Trinidad, Trini style: join us for a journey across the Northern Range, riding serpentine, cliff-hugging highways along dramatic, mist-shrouded coasts, stopping on the way for all manner of tasty treats.
Upon arrival at Maracas Bay, we can dip our toes in the water of the blue Caribbean Sea or savor Shark and Bake, a renowned local delicacy that awaits us beachside. Now, with senses fully awakened and appetites engaged, the voyage to discover Trinidad really begins...
You'll need 3 hours, a Jeep and either a good map or a trusty guide for this little jaunt.
These are the elevated gardens of Paramin, where herbs and vegetables grow. From these heights, you'll be able to see the entire northeastern corner of Trinidad, set about by the Gulf of Paria, the Dragons Mouth and the Caribbean Sea. And, if you're lucky enough to visit during the pre-Christmas season, the rarefied air will ring with Parang melodies, as local groups tune-up for hotly contested national competitions.
Tour for a Day in Exotic India
What an adventure! Experience the exotic beauty of the sub-continent of India, without ever leaving Trinidad.
Travel through southern Trinidad, visiting an 80-foot statue of the Hindu god, Hanuman and the Temple by the Sea.
If presented, grab the opportunity to take part in the colorful festival of Phagwa, witness Divali lights or be inspired by Hoosay.
In Bara Plaza, sample delicacies like Baiganee, Phoulorie, Saheena, and curried mango for lunch, then head north and sup on a simply splendid East Indian dinner at Wings or a delicious Roti in St. James. Friends back home, won't believe that this was just another day touring Trinidad.
The Caroni Swamp, the nursery of the sea, teams with life. It's muddy banks bristle with Fiddler Crabs, who wave at you in greeting as you glide along in specially designed flat-bottomed boats, and erupt with spidery Mangrove trees that seem to clamber out of the rich primordial ooze on oyster-encrusted legs.
At dusk, when the sun balances on the edge of the western horizon, Caroni Bird Sanctuary tours witness hundreds of brilliantly plumed Scarlet Ibis return home to roost, firing the sunset with their wings, scarlet feather upon scarlet clouds. What a magnificent way to spend an evening.
A 15-minute glass-bottom-boat ride away from 2 of the most popular beaches in Tobago lays the breathtaking beauty of Buccoo Reef, where jeweled fish dance among coral gardens, and children meet their favorite characters from the "Little Mermaid".
Buccoo Reef is a national treasure and Tobago Icon, 350 million years in the making. What's more, Store Bay - the starting point of your tour - is so close to Crown Point Airport, that when you visit for the day you can walk to the beach. A tremendous side trip during your amazing Trinidad vacation, like a delicious dessert after an exciting main course.
