Stunning beach, great drive, fantastic guide - Stunning beach, great drive / scenery and a fantastic guide who gave us a great trip and made sure we didn’t miss anything along the way (including chow at the lookout) so thank you Noula - though spelling may not be quite right!). The beach is in a great setting and Richard’s Bake and Shark lived up to its reputation. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Awesome Day! - I recently booked day trip to Marcas and Las Cuevas with Island Experiences and absolutely loved it! My guide Prenka was amazing, extremely well travelled and knowledgeable about Trinidad and Tobago. He went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time and we even tried the famous bake and shark at Maracs Beach, it was delicious. Highly recommend this trip - Thank you.

Maracas Day Trip - Our guide and driver Orlando was amazing, friendly, and informative. Ensured that my mum with mobility issues was looked after, on the way to the beach, and also at the beach. Overall, a great experience, from booking, all the way to the trip.

Awesome day at Maracas Beach. - What made the experience unforgettable was our tour guide, Junior! Safe driving, professional and friendly, knowledgeable about the culture and history of Trinidad and Tobago and most importantly, down to earth and attentive to our needs. The journey to and from Maracas, was enlightening and entertaining. I now have gained new knowledge about " country life" in Maracas village and the appreciated simple innocence of its people. The highlight of the trip, of course, for me was the scenic breathtaking look out, and the overall atmosphere on the beach. The friendly staff at the local restaurants, the delicious bake and shark with its tasty flavorful condiments and the warm water of the sea. I didn't want to leave the Positive vibes such a contrast from an otherwise hectic stressful life. All Trinis should take advantage of this treasure and create your own "staycation" Be your own tourist at home. Awesome day!!

A great way to spend a morning. - The drive was beautiful with a brief tour through several towns on the way up. The first top view was breath taking. Along with for access to the available vendors. See the fisherman at work in the water below. The bake and shark, of course and finally the sun, water and the beach. It was a great way to spend a morning.

Good but could have been better! - The beach was great. Overall experience was good. We also got to stop along the way for some history and sightseeing. I’d say the trip would have been a 5-star experience if there were beach chairs, refreshments or a lunch included. Mostly felt like we were taking a taxi to the beach.

Nice way to lunch/spend the afternoon. - Wonderful trip. Jenelle, our tourguide, was on point and very warm/friendly. Bake and shark amazing. We opted for Richard's. Waters a bit rough and there was some rain this time of year but chairs and tables were available to rent. Nice stop at the lookout where we bought chow - local fruit delicacy. Reason for removing 1 star: Lockers at Maracas available to rent for TT$60 with 50% refund if key was returned by 5pm - the outlet was closed when we got there, well ahead of 5pm. We were advised to go to some office to get the funds but did not want to spend our vacation time doing that. If you'd like to avoid that experience, go with minimal valuables/cash or ask your tourguide to secure it in the vehicle.

Beach day vibes. - The beach was quiet when we visited which was nice, and we enjoyed our swim and the bake and shark! Nice to get out of the city. The trip over to the beach had limited commentary - felt more like a shuttle than a tour. Extra $ needed to hire lounge chairs, umbrellas and use the bathroom.
