It was still dark when I arrived at the ferry terminal in Port of Spain and just early enough to wonder if I can get doubles for breakfast. The terminal buzzed with sleepy travelers, families and the occasional person who looked way too alert for 5:00 AM.
We had booked the premium cabin, which is located at the front of the vessel and offers panoramic ocean views.
Inside, the premium cabin was quiet and spacious, with wide seats and enough window to make you forget you weren’t flying. There were light refreshments, drinks and snack items available for purchase. I got a cup of coffee to past time.
The ferry ride took just under four hours, but it didn’t feel long. We alternated between sipping coffee, staring at the horizon and sleeping.
When we docked in Scarborough, we hopped into a waiting taxi and made our way to the car rental location at the airport. Tobago was waking up, the sun fully out, sky bright and adventure already calling.
Whether you’re trying to escape flying or just want a scenic, slow travel option, the ferry between Trinidad and Tobago delivers.
