Trinidad and Tobago Holidays

Caribbean islands are as varied as their people, and Trinidad and Tobago are a great example of this. Trek through lively rainforests, attend a wild carnival party on the beach or sip a cocktail while you sway in a hammock with views of the turquoise sea.

The capital city of Port of Spain's a standout destination for food and festivals – come for the big annual shindig during Carnival in February, then stay for the after-dark food tours. Chaguaramas in the north-west sweetens the deal with adventure parks and zip-lining courses through the jungle canopy.

If Trinidad's a blockbuster, Tobago's a work of art. Here, nature takes centre stage with golden beaches, exotic wildlife tours and coral reef diving off Buccoo. Check out Pirate's Bay, a local favourite for its whispering coconut palms and the occasional mango to munch on.

The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago's made up of a smattering of small isles, each with a unique character. Little Tobago's home to a wildlife sanctuary where you might glimpse rare, colourful birds. Historical Chacachacare houses a Hindu temple, and both Saint Giles and Goat Island offer clear waters loaded with life for divers.
