Hiking

Trinidad offers a range of hiking trails, with hikes varying in difficulty from level 1 to level 8. Covered by rain forest, the island's Northern Mountain Range is a favourite with hikers for its variety of trails, waterfalls, rivers, streams and limestone caves, but the wetlands of Central Trinidad and wildlife rich southern mountain range, are also great for exploring.

Turtle Watching

During the months March to August, the sandy beaches along Trinidad's northeast coast are transformed as hundreds of marine turtles clamber to nest each night in an awe inspiring spectacle. Five species of turtle nest in Trinidad - Leatherback, Loggerhead, Green, Hawksbill and Olive Ridley. The leatherback turtle is the most visually dramatic of the turtles that nest in Trinidad, with adults varying in size from 600 to 2,000 pounds.

Biking

Trinidad's network of old oilfield roads and hiking paths provide a range of surfaces and environments for cycling. Terrain ranges from flat land to rolling inclines to hillsides. If you have a preference for a paved surface, almost every area of Trinidad has country roads with reduced vehicle traffic. The cross-country rider will be able to find undulating land with natural vistas. The mountain biker can find forest trails with fallen logs, bamboo and streams across the trail requiring navigation skills and dexterity.

Ziplining

Visitors to the beautiful islands of Trinidad and Tobago can now add Ziplining to the wide range of eco and soft adventure activities that can be pursued during their visit. Zip lines are the best way to get a bird’s eye view of the breathtaking beauty at Macqueripe Bay, Chaguaramas, whilst at the same time experiencing all of the exhilaration that comes with such a heart stopping experience. The Macqueripe Bay Zip line promises zippers a whirlwind ride with a breathtaking view and all under the watchful eyes of well trained, professional staff.  The course is said to be on par with ziplining locations around the world and all of the necessary safety precautions are taken into consideration and stringently adhered to. The entire zip line course of seven lines, the highest being 100 feet, takes between forty-five minutes and one hour to complete and is an added attraction to the ever growing popularity of Trinidad’s western peninsula.  So the next time you are visiting the island of Trinidad place ziplining and a visit to Chaguaramas on your list of things that you simply must do and experience the Caribbean’s latest adventure attraction, the Macqueripe Bay Zip line.
