Shakers Cocktail Bar

Come join us in Shakers. The perfect place to lime after work, have a cocktail in the evenings with plenty of drink and snack selections throughout the night. Indoor and Outdoor Seating available. Ask at the bar about our Fooze Ball table and Dart Board.

We were told to head to the Avenue as that was where the action was, so we did. We were surprised at how quiet Shakers was on a Saturday night, indeed we were the only two in there for a while. At least that let us chat with the friendly bartender Kyle, who showed us quite the selection of beers. When we came back in on Monday the place was crowded as apparently the American Outlaws had made it the pregame place for the USMNT vs Soca Warriors on Tuesday. Service was still good and there was plenty of room for everyone inside and out.

Caroni Swamp

Reviewed By NinaS587 - Mersea Island, United Kingdom

Stephen Broadbridge who is a photographer and naturalist in Trinidad, accompanied us to view the Scarlet Ibis. This memorable trip commenced around 3.00 when we alighted a boat which took us down river through the mangroves. The boat's engine made no sound at all as we slowly went down river, stopping to view various birds and wildlife. We saw numerous heron and other water birds as well as a snake coiled up in a tree and a sleeping ant-eater. As the sun went down we wended our way to a lake where we moored up to watch the Scarlet Ibis arrive to roost. The sight of them arriving at first in small groups and then in swathes, was breathtaking and the sheer beauty of all those beautiful birds was quite moving. Around an hour later we returned up river and this in itself was wonderful. A silent boat in the fading light accompanied by bird song. It had to be one of the most peaceful and beautiful trips I have made in a while and one that will remain with me for a long time.

Yerette

Reviewed By Bob-a-JobSussex - Sussex, England

We enjoyed our trip to Yerette very much. Theo is a wonderful photographer with such a detailed knowledge and love of the hummingbirds and his wife's lunch was delicious. We did find the talks rather long. However, the hummingbirds in the garden were wonderful. Theo was very hospitable and made us feel very welcome and encouraged us to take lots of photos. Thank you so much.

This place is great for a few games of roulette and poker. Great for if you're moving with your friends at a night out on the avenue.

Nanan's Caroni Bird Sanctuary Tours

Nanan’s Caroni Bird Sanctuary Tours, pioneers in the Caroni Bird Sanctuary, conduct lectured boat tours daily into the Caroni Swamp by well trained guides. Tours leave the jetty at 4:00 p.m. and return by 6:30 p.m. Meeting time is at 3:40 p.m at the Caroni Bird Sanctuary. Visitors are met at the entrance and directed to the private car park by staff members.

Reviewed By Torrencia C

First off, the views at the end are quite amazing, truly worth the trip. I would advise that travellers are cautious with the tour companies though. Last weekend I took a tour as a last resort with Nanan's and it was my first and definitely last experience with this company. The guides are very unprofessional and did not seem to care about the touring group. The boat stopped working abruptly, and the guide failed to give any warning or explanation for what occurred. Subsequently another touring boat (of the same company) bumped into us on their way through the sanctuary and they decided to tow us to open waters. This was NOT the best idea, as we crashed into trees, roots and branches of the mangroves. There was murky water and tree climbing crabs all over the boat at this point. It was just unfortunate that all communications were down, and it was only later that they finally contacted someone to assist. It was an inconvenient and terrifying experience. These guys really need to get their act together, a walkie talkie would be a simple, yet plausible solution for emergencies like this. I would recommend that they invest in professionals who are trained in effective customer service and tour management.

Blue Basin Waterfall

Reviewed By hickmagp - Maraval, Trinidad

The blue basin waterfall is a nice place to visit and swim. It is a little tricky to find. The car park area doesn't seem very secure and is quite secluded, the waterfall is a 10 minute walk further up the road and along a collapsing concrete path. It is a shame the area is not better advertised and maintained.

Queen's Park Savannah

This park features mansions from the Spanish colonial era, interesting stores and street vendors.

Reviewed By Lawrence W - Baltimore, Maryland

Almost nobody was there when I walked through a little after noon. It was not worth staying. Maybe it picks up in the evening or on weekends. It it mostly a vast expanse of grass punctuated by soccer goals. Around the edge are coconut water venders ( mostly sleeping when I was there), a ring of trees and some park benches. The “magnificent seven” mansions at the west side did not accept visitors — an opportunity to advance tourism squandered.
