Family reunions and holidays to Trinidad

Trinidad’s close proximity to Venezuela makes it a viable option for anyone wanted to combine some Spanish and English speaking Caribbean into their itinerary.

When considering a trip to Trinidad and Tobago it is worth booking your travel between the islands in advance as the boats can get booked up at weekends and during peak season. If your time is limited we recommend flying as the boats can take up to 7 hours or 2 and a half hours on the catamaran.

We recommend that you find the time to hire a car and visit the lovely plantation houses, the bird sanctuaries and the beaches which are a bit more off the beaten track.

Family reunions and holidays to Tobago

Tobago is a more laid back island with small hotels and guesthouses dotted around the island. There is good walking, sailing, diving and birdwatching. The island is 26 miles long and 9 miles wide and is much less inhabited than Barbados which is a similar size. The climate is cooler and drier than Trinidad and most settlements are in the west part of the island.
