Brilliant (not a cruise line tour) to Avocat Waterfall and beach - We travelled from a cruise ship. Dominic met us at the port and reassured us that getting back to the ship was not a problem and we could tailor the day to suit our requirements. He was a fabulous guide, stopping at points of interest along the way to our destination - the Avocat Waterfall. This was an amazing experience, a hike through a crystal clear river to the waterfall - we opted to swim the last few metres but you could walk if you were not comfortable swimming. The waterfall was serene and uncrowded and a fabulous experience. After that we stopped at Uncle Sam’s at Maracas Beach for a Bake and Shark which was absolutely delicious. We then opted to buy 2 loungers and umbrella on Maracas beach and spent time sunbathing and swimming in the sea. Dominic was an awesome guide and made sure we had a perfect day.

Wonderful trip! - This tour was awesome!!! Our tour guide, Dominic, was lovely. He did a fantastic job explaining history, fun facts and lots of other stories. During the drive, he stopped at a few lookouts to show us amazing views and even bought us a local treat. The hike was lovely and Dominic did a fantastic job at accommodating our abilities and making sure we were all comfortable. Once we finally reached the waterfall, Dominic was a fantastic photographer and went out of his way to make sure we had plenty of great photos. I would recommend bringing waterproofing shoes or wearing flip flops on the hike as you will mostly be traversing through a river. After the hike, we were able to spend a couple hours at a gorgeous beach and grab lunch and drinks at a nearby bar. The whole experience was lovely and I would HIGHLY recommend.

This was a great... - This was a great adventure! Dominic was our tour guide & he was amazing. We took our time and thoroughly enjoyed the sights. Make sure to wear water shoes! There is a portion of the hike to the water fall where you can swim across a path just before you get to the falls. Do it! It’s an easy swim. This was our favorite thing that we did.

Great Day in Trinidad to remember a lifetime - All the best to say about Dominic, our guide. Picked up directly at our Hyatt Regency (and early, no less.). Picked up one other gust at Brix Marriott. Very nice 2 hour drive through the island to our destination with a few momentary stops with locals roadside. 20-30 min walk through the riverbed and we arrived to the beautiful Avocat with no one in sight lone us. Very nice 8 hour excursion to recommend. (water shoes should be worn due to amount of sharp rocks required normally)

Dominic is the best! - Dominic was a fantastic guide to Maracas and Avocation falls! He is very knowledgeable about his island and the excitement to share it with us was infectious! He was also very relaxed and would go at our pace. We would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Trinidad!

Cannot top this tour!!! - This was an exceptional experience and we would highly recommend this personal guided tour by Dominic, who is more than just a tour guide. He is the owner and he loves this.
We started with a pick up at the Brix, and had a coffee and an overview of what to expect on this tour. Dom was thorough, and friendly as we were his only couple today. After making sure we were properly outfitted with good water shoes and a dry change of clothes, we headed up the winding mountainous road toward the waterfall area. The journey to the jumping off point took about two hours. It was an amazing drive with a couple of lookout stops along the way, where photo opportunities were plentiful. Passing through the old Cocoa plantation was quite interesting, as was Moosh, our caretaker and facilities host as we prepared for the hike to the waterfall. The actual hike through jungle and up the riverbed is serene, but at times presented some mild physical challenge. The first gaze on the waterfall made the journey so worth it with an amazing swim!
Our next stop was Maracas Beach at Uncle Sam's Bake and Shark, which is basically a fried fresh as it comes fish sandwich with all of the trimmings and unusual sauces you wish on your sandwich. Awesome!
The ride back included some light rain and a stop at the happiest trinket and fruit stand on the island.
Cannot say enough, this tour cannot be duplicated. You simply must try it.

I have always wanted to swim by a waterfall, it lived up to expectations . - We had a great time, our own personal trip for three. Dominic was very informative, friendly and empathetic to our needs. The waterfall was about a 20min easy hike, sometimes through shallow water, just be careful where you step as some stones are slippy. A great personal service, highly recommend.

10/10 - I don’t know where to begin by far one of my favorite memories from our trip to Trinidad. From the very beginning of our tour Dominic showed professionalism, patience and kindness. He made sure to confirm our tour the day before and give us a detailed list of what to expect and what to bring with us. The views and stops along the way were breathtaking. Dominic was very patient with one of my friends who was extremely anxious about this hike, he made sure to stay with her the whole time and when things became difficult for her and quickly found an alternative way for her to get across. We laughed so much this day a memory my friends and I will cherish forever , we even all got matching tattoos of the mountain . Perfect way to end our trip, was trying the delicious Bake and Shark while enjoying Maracus beach !!! 10/10 experience! by the end of this tour we didn’t feel like Dominic was our tour guide but more like our friend. Thank you for an incredible experience and hope to come back and visit again!!
