Description

Join us on a spectacular day trip to the active Chacachacare Lighthouse and the beautiful Salt Pond in Trinidad & Tobago! Enjoy an amazing boat ride from Chaguaramas and witness spectacular vistas of the calm sea, gorgeous beaches, and lush green trees as you hike!

Located just a few miles from the coast of Venezuela, Chacachacare is the largest and one of the most beautiful Boca islands. It was originally named El Caracol by Christopher Columbus as its shape is similar to that of a snail!

Because of its balmy weather, historical sites and a fun vibe, this area is popular among tourists all year round.

We’ll begin our trip by taking an interesting boat ride to the Chacachacare island. You’ll enjoy the breathtaking scenery of the blue sea and its vast coastline! If we are lucky, we might even sight playful dolphins on our way.

First, we’ll stop at Bandu Su Bay. From here, we’ll hike for about 15 minutes to reach the Salt Pond.

As the name suggests, Salt Pond is a salty waterbody located on the western end of the island. It falls in a beautiful tropical area and is surrounded by sand. It is so salty that it can be compared to The Dead Sea!

Finally, we’ll head towards the northwestern side of the island. We’ll hike for about 50 mins to reach the Chacachacare Lighthouse(825 ft). Located at the highest point on the island, the lighthouse was built in 1897 and offers outstanding views of the Boca islands.

Thereafter, we’ll swim in the soothing waters of Perruquier Bay to refresh ourselves of the tiring hike!

So, don’t miss this incredible opportunity to visit this active lighthouse and Salt Pond in Trinidad & Tobago. Request to book now!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
