This half-day tour explores the history and the natural wonders of Trinidad.
You'll head to St Joseph -- the oldest town in Trinidad and Tobago -- to visit the Catholic Church of the same name. This was one of the earliest buildings constructed in the town in 1815. Stroll about the town square before hopping back on the coach.
A scenic one-hour drive brings you to the Maracas Valley. Leave the coach for a 45-minute nature walk to the magnificent 300-foot-tall Maracas Waterfall in the upper part of the valley. At the falls, take a swim in the cool mountain water.
Refresh yourself with a bottle of cold water before you hike back down to the starting point and return to the pier.
Notes:
Minimum age is 5 years. This active excursion is suitable only for participants in excellent physical condition. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. Wear non-skid walking shoes; protruding rocks and roots may be encountered along the trail, and the rocks surrounding the falls are slippery. Jumping from the falls is not permitted. Bring bottled water.
