Trinidad and Tobago Travel Forum

We're thinking that it would be fun to be in Tobago for the goat and crab races, but have a couple of questions. Is it going to be difficult to arrive on Easter Sunday in Port of Spain and find accommodations, then ferry over on Monday and find accommodations? We prefer not to make reservations in advance but will if we have to. Will it be more expensive? Is it worth planning our trip to get there at that time or maybe more of a hassle if businesses are closed? Any ferry interruptions at Easter? Thanks for any info!

Traditionally in the Caribbean, everyone travels for the long Easter weekend, therefore, I would definitely recommend that you pre-book your accommodations. Tobago is not awash with hotels and they do sell out at peak times. Easter this year is still in the high season, so accommodations will carry higher rates. High season ends on April 15. Restaurants should be open on the holidays, at least some of them, but shops and other businesses will be closed on the Monday. Ferries should be running normally.
