Nick was very responsive when we arrived right after the Prime Minister declared a State of Emergency! He worked with us to postpone, cancel, and then ultimately rebook our tour after our cruise line received the all clear to disembark.
Our guide provided the City Highlights tour and pointed out historical and cultural sites, such as: The Red House, the Magnificent 7, Woodford Square, and Queen Park Savannah where the world-renown Carnival takes place. He shared lots of information about Trinidad (politics, legends, sports, Carnival, history, and culture) during the tour.
After traveling through the rainforests, we arrived at the famed Maracas Bay. We enjoyed swimming and relaxing at the beautiful beach and ate delicious Bake and Shark, Bake and Kingfish, and Bake and Chicken with Shrimp. Before heading back to the port, we spent a little time exploring the cute Botanical Gardens.
