Trinidad and Tobago Holidays

As the home of the carnival, it’s easy to understand why these islands are considered some of the most lively in the Caribbean. Join the party and find something unusual in every corner – anyone up for some crab racing?

The home of carnival, calypso, limbo dancing and Angostura bitters, Trinidad and Tobago’s contributions to the world have always been an assault on the senses.

On a holiday to Trinidad and Tobago, you’ll find a calendar full of unusual events such as crab or goat racing, and for those who don’t go on holiday to relax, horse-riding, hiking, mountain biking and kayaking can all be arranged. Both islands radiate a constant party atmosphere which you would be hard-pressed to ignore.

Trinidad & Tobago: What to Expect

The Trinidadian capital, Port of Spain, hosts a world-famous annual carnival while inland birdwatching is a big attraction with swamps, wetlands, mangroves and dense rainforest hosting an excellent range of native and migratory avifauna. Tobago, the smaller sister island, is altogether wilder and renowned for its beautiful beaches and reef-protected waters with Charlotteville, at the north-eastern tip, ranking as one of the Caribbean’s most picturesque towns.

Asa Wright Centre £££££

  • Trinidad and Tobago
  • Safari and Wildlife Lodge

The continental origin and proximity of Trinidad to South America, as well as a multiplicity of habitats, have resulted in an unusually diverse fauna. The species lists are impressive: 108 mammals; 460 birds; 55 reptiles and 617 butterflies. No other area in the West Indies can match this species diversity. The climate at the Nature Centre is tropical and humid. However, its mid-montane location tempers the heat to a pleasant 18-30°C. The long dry season, when the striking vegetation is in bloom, lasts from January until May. The balance of the year constitutes the rainy season.
