Despite being the only airport on the island of Trinidad, Port of Spain is one of the busiest in the region. The airport directly serves North America, South America, and Europe, and is an important transit hub for the Southern Caribbean and the primary connection point for many passengers travelling from Guyana. 

POS is the main operating base for Caribbean Airlines, who also offer daily flights between Trinidad and Tobago in just 24 minutes, whilst other major carriers such as American Airlines, British Airways, JetBlue, KLM, United Airlines, and more are also available. 

Once you have arrived at the airport, authorised taxis can take you to your destination, as well as mini and large buses provided by TTTTSA

For getting around the island, we recommend reserving a rental vehicle before visiting, especially during the busy Christmas and Carnival seasons. 

For vacationers travelling between Trinidad and Tobago, inter-island ferry services are a popular choice, with the 20-mile journey taking around three hours to complete.  

Cruise ships, meanwhile, call at Port of Spain, with a variety of onshore activities and tours to be enjoyed in the capital and beyond. Passengers are advised to book with registered tour operators and guides for the best cruise experience. 

Between the cities of Port of Spain and San Fernando, a daily water taxi service along Trinidad’s west coast provides an alternative mode of transportation for getting from one end of the island to the other.
