DIY Day Trips: Gulf of Paria to Chaguaramas

Trinidad and Tobago is full of great and fascinating destinations!  Some of these destinations we recommend hiring an official tour guide to get you there and back safely.  But there are many great destinations that you can get to and discover on your own – and all in a day!

Gulf of Paria to Chaguaramas

7:30 am – Go Waking Boarding in the Gulf of Paria

Start the day with a blood pumping experience.  Take a drive down to the waterfront in Cocorite, St. James and hook up with the guys at Liquid Adrenalin Water Sports.  Berkeley and Michael will take you wakeboarding (or even Stand Up Paddle Boarding) in the calm waters of the Gulf of Paria.  This activity is definitely an adrenaline rush.  But have no fear, its safe and fun for all ages.  Even if you don’t know how, you’ll be skimming across the water on a wakeboard in no time – and loving it!
