Maris_G, Sep 2025

The driver was also guide, he was more wonderful person than a guide I would say. He took us to all places need to see in the northern part of the island. Generally i found people in Trinidad and Tobago very friendly and kind! We had 2 hours free time on the beach and 2,5 hour boat tour in swamp included in this tour.

Fantastic - would recommend

Alishba_K, Jun 2025

Extremely polite and friendly guide. Great company to have. Good insight into the main landmarks of the city before heading to Maraccas Bay and the Karouni bird sanctuary. The guide went out of his way to explain the food and snack choices along the way to Maraccas and once there.

A nice day in Trinidad

Felicia_D, May 2025

The city tour portion was all within the air conditioned van. Very comfortable, but a little long. Our tour guide Junior was very thorough. The stop at the lookout for Maracas Beach was lovely- Junior educated us on all the snacks if you care to try, they are delicious. The stop at Maracas Beach was the highlight as the bake and shark sandwich was incredible. Spending more time there would’ve been great, but we had to catch the tour at the bird sanctuary. Junior then went on the boat cruise with us into the swamp and gave extra insight what we were seeing along with the guide from the boat tour company. It was beautiful, and we saw a few Ibis far away, but it was nesting season and so we didn’t see the true beauty of the birds as you would during other times of year. Overall great tour

Scarlet Ibis and Flamingos Wow

Amy_W, Apr 2025

Driving tour around POS, and then to Maracas Beach, then to Caroni Bird Sanctuary. It would have been cool to walk around Port of Spain a bit, Maracas Beach is nice, but didn't warrant all that time. Loved the Caroni Bird Sanctuary at sunset, Flamingos, Scarlet Ibis and other birds. Such a beautiful experience

Bird Sanctuary is a must-see.

CHENGHAU_B, Feb 2025

The ride was wonderful especially the bird sanctuary is a must see. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience seeing birds returning to their habitats at sunset. Our guide is a very helpful and informative guide.

Great tour

Shivani_P, Jan 2025

Had a wonderful time with Khaleel , he explained everything with great knowledge and went the extra mile to accommodate us.

If you have less time, do this tour.

Anita_L, Dec 2024

We loved the tour, see a lot in one day. Caroni by boot was so beautiful, to see the flamingos and scarlet ibis.

Wholesome

Siyabonga_S, Jul 2024

It was a lovely wholesome experience and the tour guide was great he took good care of us. If I’m in Trinidad again in future I would do it again.

Fun tour with so many different things to do!

Jodi_R, May 2024

This was an excellent and really fun tour to explore so much Trinidad has to offer! From the heart of the city of Port of Spain to Maracas Beach and then into the marshlands to see wildlife with the star of the show being the most beautiful brightly colored Scarlet Ibis. Highly recommend this tour for the variety and to experience so many different wonderful places in Trinidad.

Il faut rouler plus d'une heure pour...

Stephane_C, Jan 2017

Il faut rouler plus d'une heure pour se rendre à la plage de Caracas Village. Cette plage est bien ordinaire. La partie la plus intéressante du tour est la visite du marais à la fin de l'après-midi. L'arrivée de centaines d'ibis scarlet oiseaux rouges vers 17h sur une île où ils vont nicher pour la nuit est splendide.
