Avocat Waterfall Tour＆Beach Stop Package

I would recommend this tour hands down! Richard was an amazing guide. What a way to spend a day in Trinidad. We even got a couple extra stops along that way that made the trip even more special. My next visit, I'll definitely be back to Trinidad and Richard with Layover Experiences will be my first contact! Can't wait to try out the other tours offered.

I had the best time on this day trip! The guides were so kind and I felt completely comfortable the entire time. They treated me as one of their own and guided me thoughtfully through our hike and beach stop. I would highly recommend them to anyone, as I really enjoyed my day!

It was a nice light hike the river and waterfall were both beautiful! Our tour guides were very nice

First and foremost, this was my very first time visiting Trinidad and I was expecting to enjoy the sights, the food and most importantly the tours with its great hospitality that I'm acostumed to. This is the far from what actually took place for my sister and I this past week. The first issue was that after I received my booking confirmation the night prior to the tour, No one reached out to me to confirm a pickup whatsoever. I attempted to contact the tour guide directly for over an hour and a half and never responded. I had to reach out to customer service directly who Also attempted to contact the local tour guide with No success. It wasn't until 2 hours after speaking to customer service that someone named Richard, from Layover Experience Tours Co, contacted me about the booking and assured me that he was going to meet me where I was in about 44 minutes which turned into an hour and then finally 2 hours afterwards. He sat in his car which I've also included a photo of it and never approached me, my taxi had to call him and he answered his call but Not mine. I never expected for him to arrive in a personal vehicle as ive always booked and its some sort of company vehicle or a group that are participating as well. He finally exited his car and went straight to the bar to order a "stiff drink", after chitchatting with patrons sitting at the bar, he came over to us to attempt to justify himself by telling me that the booking was received late, his phone died, and that he was stuck in traffic. He Never took accountability of his lack of professionalism and lied directly to my sister when she confronted him about smelling of alcohol, with the following statement, "ma'am I don't drink alcohol ". He further stated that he would be refunding my money for the booking after 4pm which clearly did not happen either. He had the audacity to tell me to Not embarrass him in front of the other customers which were sitting there after he wasted my ENTIRE morning waiting on him to show up and not enjoy my experience as I planned to do so. The most ironic thing that he said was offer my refund and still attempt to complete the tour, to which I clearly responded,"we are not going Anywhere with you being drunk, I will be reporting your behavior for sure" and we walked away. I am extremely disappointed in the way that I looked forward to enjoying this day and it was completely ruined. As a tourist, I always enjoy learning the country that I visit, whether it's alone or accompanied, I book the tours the day before and Never have had an issue. This left a complete and utter bitter taste in my mouth and I will be recommending to my family and friends to Never book a tour with this company again to ensure that they don't run the same struck of unpleasantness that my sister and I did on our first visit here to Trinidad.

We had a great experience thanks to our guide Mitch, who was very considerate and made sure we were able to enjoy the hike and the waterfalls safely. The hike to the waterfall through the rain forest was fun and involved crossing the stream multiple times. Recommend good water shoes for this hike. Afterwards we spent some time at the Maracas beach enjoying the bake and shark with a beautiful backdrop of the bay. Thanks Mitch for an unforgettable experience.

Mitchell was great and very well experienced!!! He made sure we were safe during the hike and had an amazing time at the beautiful waterfall. The beach was a great way to end this tour with a delicious bake and shark to eat! Thanks Mitchell!

My Sister & I went on this tour with Mitch who was amazing , he took his time and guided us from the hike to the waterfall. I can tell he’s done this a lot lol. We stayed about 40 mins at the waterfall which was truly amazing. (The hike to and from the waterfall is about 1hr) I’ve been coming to Trinidad since I was 2 years old first time I made it to a waterfall . We stop at few bar along the way I love a good cold stag ! .. overall I would recommend this tour with my boy Mitch you won’t regret it . Sidebar if you don’t like long walks thru mud and trees this not the tour for you.

We had a wonderful experience with this company, thanks to the honesty and professionalism of Mitch. He called us personally to inform us that our planned visit to Avocat Waterfall and Marcas Beach was canceled due to weather concerns. He explained that rain in the mountains can lead to dangerous flash floods and falling trees, making hiking unsafe. While initially disappointed, we truly appreciated his judgment to prioritize safety. We rebooked privately for another day, and during our hike a few days later, we saw the evidence of fallen trees in the rainforest. We felt reassured knowing he put our safety first. Highly recommend his responsible approach!

Mitch is the best and spending a full day with him on this waterfall tour was a true blessing! We had so much fun and adventures on top of learning a lot more about Trini’s nature. I highly recommend to book a tour with him! We would have definitely booked more trips if we would have had more time! But that’s a good excuse to come back 😁! I can keep on going, but to summarize our tour experience: it was an amazing day, filled with so much more than we could have ever wished for! And on top of that we had great conversations and Mitch is a great photographer as well 😁! Thanks again Mitch, keep up the good work and I can’t wait to meet you again soon 🤗!
