Touring Trinidad and Tobago

Several options for transportation make it easy to get around, and between, Trinidad and Tobago. Travelers can cruise between the two islands by ferry, and while on either island, by cab, rental car, or bus.

For traveling long distances on either Trinidad or Tobago, tourists may find that riding the bus is the best way to traverse the island. Buses are generally reliable and easy to use because the color coding of each bus corresponds to its destination. Bus travel is also a great way to experience local culture. The wide availability of buses makes them a convenient for vacationers to see and experience the islands.

Taxis are also relatively simple to find and are a good way to leave the driving to someone else. You can find taxi cabs almost anywhere on the islands, including airports, cruise ports, and hotels. Taxi cab drivers can also act as tour guides and will happily show you the sites and attractions of Trinidad and Tobago for an extra cost.

For travelers who appreciate their independence and who like to be mobile on a moment's notice, several rental car companies located on the islands can supply you with your own wheels. This option is a little more expensive than some of the other methods of transportation, but renting a car can allow to create your own vacation on your own schedule and at your own speed. A less expensive way to get around independently is to rent a bike or moped. Travelers can experience all the natural beauty of Trinidad and Tobago's great outdoors while enjoying the mobility and self sufficiency that bikes and mopeds have to offer.

Traveling around Trinidad and Tobago should be an enjoyable part of your vacation. Consider your traveling needs to decide which form of transportation is best for you.
