Travel tips for Trinidad and Tobago

  • 1

    Visit during Carnival (February/March) for an unparalleled experience, but book accommodations months in advance as prices surge and availability drops.

  • 2

    Avoid tap water and stick to bottled water, as the tap water may not always be safe for drinking outside major hotels.

  • 3

    Use local maxi taxis for affordable travel between cities, but negotiate fares beforehand to avoid overpaying.
