Trinidad and Tobago
Nov. 27 - Dec. 1, 2019 (5D4N): T&T is a dual Caribbean island near Venezuela. While Trinidad is known for hosting its famous carnival, you can still find beauty by visiting outside of the carnival season. The smaller island of Tobago that is 25 mins plane ride away is known for its beaches and reefs, so be sure to visit Tobago during your visit as well.
