Trinidad: Coastal Experience

Discover pure relaxation and natural beauty with a leisurely day exploring the tranquil beaches and lush rivers of Trinidad’s scenic north coast. Perfect for those looking to unwind, swim, and enjoy a scenic coastal drive, this tour promises a peaceful escape into some of the island’s most picturesque spots.

Your journey begins along the breathtaking North Coast Road, which winds through green mountains, offering spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea. You’ll pass the famous Maracas Bay, Trinidad’s busiest beach, before heading to the peaceful village of Blanchisseuse, the final settlement on this unspoiled stretch of coast.

Your first stop is at the idyllic Marianne River, where you can take a refreshing swim in its cool, clear waters, surrounded by lush, untouched greenery. The river flows into the sea, forming a picturesque lagoon that feels like a hidden paradise—almost completely untouched by tourism. This is the ultimate spot to immerse yourself in nature and relax.

Next, visit Las Cuevas Beach, a 2.2 km-long, crescent-shaped bay that has earned the prestigious Blue Flag Award for its clean and serene environment—the only beach in the Southern English-speaking Caribbean to receive this recognition. The calm, sheltered waters of Las Cuevas are perfect for swimming, and its expansive shoreline is often quiet, providing a peaceful place to unwind, stroll, and soak in the beauty of your surroundings.

After your peaceful time at Las Cuevas, head back to the lively Maracas Bay, where you’ll have the opportunity to experience one of Trinidad’s most famous culinary treats—the crispy and flavorful “Bake & Shark” sandwich (lunch cost on own). Made from freshly caught fish, this beloved local dish is sold at stalls along the beach, offering the perfect blend of delicious flavors after a day of swimming and relaxing.

This tour is ideal for those looking to enjoy some of Trinidad’s most beautiful, lesser-visited natural spots while indulging in a bit of local culture and cuisine.

Facilities: Basic changing and toilet facilities are available at both Las Cuevas and Maracas Bay.
