Travel Costs in Trinidad and Tobago

Overview

Trinidad and Tobago sits in a mid-range tier for Caribbean travel costs, with Tobago generally more expensive than Trinidad due to its tourist-focused economy and resort infrastructure. Accommodation and dining out at nicer restaurants are the primary cost drivers, while local street food, roti shops, and shared maxi-taxi transport keep budget travel quite affordable. The twin-island nation is pricier than many South American destinations but notably cheaper than ultra-luxury Caribbean islands like Barbados or St. Barts.

Notes

Stretch your budget by eating at local roti shops and street food stalls, which serve filling meals for under $5, and use shared maxi-taxis or route taxis instead of private cabs for inter-city travel on Trinidad.
