Trinidad and Tobago overview
Trinidad and Tobago have a diverse cultural mix gained through the many different influences on the islands over the years. The blend of European, African, Indian and indigenous peoples has resulted in a rich and vibrant culture shown through music, cuisine and festivals.
The islands are known for their large and famous Carnival, Diwali, and Hosay celebrations, as well being the birthplace of steelpan, the limbo, and music styles such as calypso, soca, rapso, parang, chutney, and chutney soca.
English is the official language, and most people speak Trinidad English, a creole language.
The islands have a tropical climate with two distinct seasons:
- Wet season (June to December): Rainfall is higher throughout this season as is the humidity, and there’s a higher chance of tropical thunderstorms. Hurricanes can happen throughout the wet season, but are relatively rare in this region.
- Dry season (January to May): The weather is much more stable throughout the dry season and temperatures are warm, making it a popular time to visit for tourists.
Trinidad tends to be warmer than Tobago. Tobago enjoys consistent breezes due to its flatter terrain.
Tourists often prefer to visit Trinidad and Tobago during the dry season. The weather is more predictable, there’s less chance of rain, and temperatures are warm. The biggest festival, ‘Carnival’, also takes place in this season. However, you will share the islands with more tourists and pay higher prices for accommodation.
So, if you’d prefer to find a quieter time to travel and don’t mind the odd shower, visiting during the wet season will give you the opportunity to make savings.
What to eat
Trinidad and Tobago’s cuisine is a flavoursome blend of multiple cultures and the influence they’ve had on the islands. The result is delicious creole food that combines the fresh seafood caught around the islands and aromatic spices to create strong, rich flavours.
Enjoy local street food ‘doubles’, which consist of two pieces of soft, fluffy flatbread filled with curried chickpeas, chutneys and spicy sauces. Or try Pelau, a one-pot meal combining rice, pigeon peas, meats or seafood, cooked with spices.
