Kayaking in Chaguaramas

Nothing to do this weekend? Try Kayaking!


If you love the water like I do, then come and experience kayaking in Chaguaramas. This fun activity will allow you to work out your arms while taking in the gorgeous views of the North-Western peninsula. You may even get the chance to spot marine iguanas on the rocks and in the sea, and capuchin monkeys in the trees.

You can begin your experience at Williams Bay, which is actually a great place to kayak. This bay provides you the opportunity to kayak in a relatively sheltered bay as the north-western peninsula blocks the currents of the Caribbean Sea.

You even have a chance to witness a new fixture at Williams Bay - Trinidad's "Silver Surfer" (taken from the Fantastic Four Comics). His attire is a full silver body suit, silver face paint, and a surf or boogie board covered entirely in aluminum foil and powered by a motor. 


I must say, my friends and I, who are also beginners, had an amazing time at this bay. The staff at Kayak Rental Centre were very friendly, knowledgeable and took all appropriate safety measures, putting us very much at ease. I would recommend this activity to anyone who is not afraid of physical work. If you are looking for a relaxing escape, this is not to be missed. It is fun for the whole family, couples, and groups.

When paddling along the western and southern sides of the bay one should be alert to the various boats that enter and depart from the various marinas, particularly on weekends.

Cabin at the Pines

Image
Cabin at the Pines is the perfect Eco-lover getaway location. A stunning handcrafted wooden cabin, located in a very secluded and private area in St. Anns, sits within half an acre of flat land surrounded by a forest of Caribbean pine that affords marvelous views down to Port of Spain and inland over the hills that surround Port of Spain. Just as how any getaway should be, away from the crowd. This dreamy cabin offers such serenity that you would expect it to be out in the deep of the forest, but this is not the case. Trust me, I was lost for words upon arrival. I could not believe that this little piece of heaven existed in Trinidad. Who would have known? The drive to the cabin is nothing short of an adventure, but the mountain road is very steep and as a result, I would strongly recommend that you use a four wheel drive - anything short of this is a no go. This spot makes it great for weddings, parties, baby showers, teas, dinners, limes and any other entertainme...

Get away from the hustle of city life and into the Arima countryside for a wild four-mile ride on an ATV. Hop on a single-seat all-terrain vehicle and enjoy this off-road romp through Arima's landscape of lush forest, featuring sand, mud, and anything else Mother Nature offers. You will definitely get your adrenaline pumping, because I know I did! The trail you will embark on is designed to fit all skill levels, so be prepared to have an exciting and exhilarating experience. Prepare for a trail full of bumps, dips, and twists and turns.

Upon arrival, riders will be given a ten-minute introduction on how to operate the vehicle, including safety instructions and will be provided with helmets, gloves, and goggles as a safety precaution. This is considered mandatory for all drivers and riders. You will feel safe and secure, whether you are an ...

Bamboo Cathedral

Image
Let's take a look at another unique feature of Trinidad's landscape that surely confirms that true beauty can be found in the most inconspicuous places. Tucked away in a forested area of Chaguaramas, one can observe an expanse known as the Bamboo Cathedral.  For years, this setting has been a popular destination for people to experience the splendour of  Mother Nature. The view is, even more, breath-taking when having a pleasant stroll at twilight.  What makes this place one of Trinidad's most popular destinations is the stretch of roadway that cuts through the dense vegetation, transporting visitors into a landscape of soaring bamboo stalks that bend towards each other above the roadway forming arches reminiscent of those found in cathedrals. The roadway is approximately 300m long and is accessible directly from Tucker Valley Road, Chaguaramas. Its generous width accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists, allowing people to experience the landscape at thei...
