A great day out with plenty to see and do. Very happy we chose this tour to get closer to Trinidad history and nature. - This tour gave us an insight into Port Of Spain centre, a food and swim stop at Caracas Beach and a swamp boat tour to see colourful birds. The day before, we had taken the Island Experiences street food tour with guide Khaleel. How fortunate we were to spend more time with Khaleel on this eight hour tour. He continued to educate and entertain us in his highly professional guided manner. Lucky us. The first part of the tour took us to several places around Port Of Spain. We’d walked on our own in some areas the day before. Now it was time to revisit and develop a better understanding of the history of this city and its well preserved buildings. We toured by car and made plenty of stops to get out, walk and explore and take photographs. We were off to a good start. The second part of the tour took us up and over the nearby mountains, pausing at several lookouts to admire the spectacular views. All this time we were engaged in conversation with Khaleel. We then drove down to a popular sandy bay that was full of life and, equally importantly, full of buzzing street food restaurants. After trying shark and bake for the first time, it was time for a swim. Even in January the sea temperature was very pleasant, as was the sand beneath me. A word about the waves…every so often on this day, the waves would rise up to around twelve feet high before crashing down. I’m used to such conditions and enjoyed swimming out through the waves and ducking down when necessary. After meeting precisely on time to depart the beach, we headed for a famous swamp and nature reserve. Here we boarded open boats carrying around thirty people. We set off in our boat on a somewhat dull waterway. Where were all the birds? Not to worry, later we turned into the nature reserve and there were the most brightly coloured birds. A magnificent and very enjoyable sight. All-in-all this was a very varied day with much to see, do and enjoy. So much of that was due to our wonderful guide Khaleel. He’d been a star during our food tour and he was excellent yet again during our day tour. Thank you Khaleel for your professionalism. TIPS - Do take your swimming costume to enjoy a swim at the beach - Rain can appear quite suddenly so do take an umbrella. If there is a downpour during the boat trip to the bird reserve, the boat guys will open up a large plastic sheet for the passengers to hold above their heads. It works but having an umbrella for when there is light rain and no plastic sheet is worthwhile. The boat floor can get quite wet so waterproof shoes are a bonus. - Take binoculars for bird viewing.

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

Great Island experience - especially the Caroni swamp boat trip - We did the tour of Port of Spain, Maracas Bay and Caroni swamp boat trip. Junior, our driver / guide, was excellent, very informative and accommodating to our requests. The tour was interesting and even though it rained very heavily at start of the swamp tour it didn't ruin the experience. Would highly recommend the sunset boat trip to see the Scarlet Ibis, Flamingos and other birds. There were lots of websites to choose from but Island Experiences provided the most information and best prices.

If you have less time, do this tour. - We loved the tour, see a lot in one day. Caroni by boot was so beautiful, to see the flamingos and scarlet ibis.

Recommended 👍🏽 - Very knowledgeable and professional guides. They give explanations in detail and answered all the questions I had. The provided transportation was comfortable.

Fun tour with so many different things to do! - 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.

Amazing time - We had a great tour guide, Khalil, who educated us along the way. He was humble, nice, and accommodating and gave us a great experience on our tour.

Tour of Trinidad - Tour of Port of Spain was great. Jr was a nice tour guide. Learned alot about Trinidad. Would definitely come back to explore some more

Bird Sanctuary is a must-see. - 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.
