There are lots of ways to make a trip to Trinidad fit your budget. If you want to visit for Carnival, make sure to book in advance as prices often rise during this time. To save even more, skip Trinidad’s busy season – the quieter months are also when you can join a tour to see nesting turtles. When it comes to mealtimes, the local dishes take inspiration from the island’s diverse cultural heritage, so you can enjoy all sorts of delicious food at a variety of price points.

It’s easy to grab a taxi at the airport and takes just over an hour to get to Port of Spain, the island’s capital. Trinidad’s local shuttle buses are called maxi taxis and the bands on each bus indicate where on the island they travel to. If you want the freedom to explore every corner of Trinidad, hire a car with British Airways. You can pick it up from the airport and you’ll receive great benefits, with all mandatory charges included and 24-hour customer support, plus you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.

From the colourful carnival to the tranquil beaches, Trinidad has something for everyone. The island’s mix of cultures means dishes from across the globe are on the menu. Animal lovers can search for Trinidad’s national bird at Caroni National Bird Sanctuary, while sun-seekers have their choice of sandy spots for chilled days by the sea. The island is also the home of the steel pans and calypso music, so swap your weekly gym sessions for some dancing.
