Awesome beach trip - The most memorable part of my experience is listening to our host tell us some of the history of Trinidad, taking pictures from the overlook, taking a swim in the refreshing waters, and eating the shark and bake that are sold on the beach.

The guide has excellent knowledge about history of the country and knows a lot about interesting places along the tour.

A great experience! - The views were amazing! The weather was sunny, the people were friendly and the beer prices weren’t too high. And the Bake and Shark is a must have from Uncle Sam’s bar. It’s absolutely mouth watering!!

Best Trinidad Tour and Tour Guide - This was a trip of a lifetime. Spending the day at Maracas Bay Beach was a fabulous way to spend my 40th birthday. Our tour guide Khaleel was super nice, accommodating and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Khaleel and this tour!

Great beach trip - The half-day to Maracas beach with Island Experiences was a great trip, especially if you have limited time. Convenient pick-up from major hotels, smooth trip with stop-offs to eat doubles and see viewpoints on the way to the beach. Khalil was a knowledgeable and laid-back guide. The beach exceeded my expectations - when we went on a Saturday in late September it was not at all crowded. It's a beautiful setting with no ugly high-rise hotels to spoil the view. Great beach-shacks serving local food. You can easily hire sun-loungers and parasol for shade. As other reviewers have said, the only down side is that you end up wishing you had more time on the beach - but for a taster trip, this is ideal.

Great company to plan with - Alan arrived on time and then we spent the trip talking about life in Trinidad and in general. It was a pleasure. He was an excellent guide and went above board to make my trip enjoyable

Wonderful personalised tour. - We had a special day, created by Island Experiences delivered by the marvellous ‘fella’ Mr Denton Armstrong. 45 years ago my wife and I flew to Trinidad from the U.K. to join a merchant ship at the drydock in Chagueramas. We spent many days and evenings at the Chagueramas Beach Club so wanted to rekindle those memories. At the time we also had a day off work and visited Maraccas beach. The day tour exceeded every one of our expectations. 👏🏻👏🏻

Great 4 hour tour to Maracas Beach - The driver Mark showed up on time in front of the Hyatt hotel just a few steps from cruise ship. We had a wonderful private tour to breathtaking Maracas beach (2 hour stay) with an hour drive each way through the rainforest mountains which were gorgeous. Highly recommend this tour.

In Reverse - Actually this tour in my opinion should be done in the reverse. The beach in the morning while its nice and cool. The city in the afternoon. It’s a very informative tour. Khaleel was an excellent knowledgeable guide.
