Trinidad, along with its smaller neighbour Tobago, make up the country of Trinidad and Tobago. Just 11km off the coast of Venezuela, Trinidad is fascinating. The island is a fusion of several different cultures (Spanish, French and British), influences that feed into its cuisine, music and festivals. And what a festival takes place in Port of Spain, the capital, each year…
Most travellers booking cheap flights to Trinidad come for Carnival, held on the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. Carnival started almost 170 years ago as a way for freed African slaves to remember their lives on the plantations and send up the lifestyles of their former masters. Today, the streets explode in a riot of music, colour and dancing and revellers being “wicked” in the best possible way.
For the rest of the year there is no shortage of things to do. The island is one of the Caribbean’s most biodiverse destinations. Hiking through rain forests, kayaking, watching turtles or bird spotting are all popular activities. Trinidad has hundreds of types of bird, mammals, butterflies, reptiles and amphibians. So diverse, the island is said to be South America Caribbean-style.
If you are going to be heading from Canada to Trinidad and Tobago, you will find a number of different flight options to consider. Those who are travelling out of Vancouver will find that the shortest flight is 11h. The longest flight from Vancouver is 32h 16m. Travellers who are heading out of Toronto will find shorter flights with the shortest being 5h 40m. There are also flights out of Toronto that are much longer. You will find that the number of stopovers will be a major factor, along with the duration of those stopovers, when it comes to flight time.
There are Trinidad and Tobago flight deals out of Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson International Airport direct to Port of Spain’s Piarco International Airport. However, you will find that most of the flights out of Toronto will have at least one stopover including those by United Airlines and American Airlines. There are not any direct flights from Vancouver, but you can find a number of options with just a single stopover. United Airlines, for example, has a flight from Vancouver with a 1h 11m stopover in Houston before heading to Trinidad and Tobago.
You will find a number of flights each day that go between Piarco International Airport on Trinidad to Tobago’s ANR Robinson International Airport. Travellers will also find ferries operated by the Port Authority of Trinidad & Tobago, as well as water taxis operated by the National Infrastructure Development Company. The PTSC, Public Transport Service Corporation, operates buses in the area. Taxis are available, too. Car rentals are available, as well, for you if you would rather drive yourself to various destinations on the island.
While there are many things for you to see and do while you are in Trinidad and Tobago, you will find that the beaches remain one of the most popular. Beautiful beaches can be found at Maracas Bay and other areas of Trinidad’s North Coast. On Tobago, Pigeon Point Beach and Pirate’s Bay could be a good option. Carnival is an annual festival that takes place during Lent each year and could be a good time for you to visit. Visitors can find places to hike, dive, golf, and to experience some interesting historic sites. Fort King George is a popular site. It is an 18th-century British fort that overlooks Scarborough.
In order to enter Trinidad and Tobago, Canadians will need to have a valid machine-readable passport. Visitors will also need to provide a local address in Trinidad and Tobago. Canadians staying up to 90 days will not need to worry about having a visa when they are saying.
