WINDSURFING HOLIDAYS IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO
MONEY
The official currency is the Trinidad and Tobago dollar (TT$). Banks will exchange a number of foreign currencies, but you’ll generally get better rates for US dollars or Euros. American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard and Visa are accepted by most banks, shops and tourist facilities. A number of ATMs take debit and credit cards in both Trinidad and Tobago.
WEATHER
Because of Trinidad’s southerly location, temperatures are equable year-round. Its average daily temperature is 27°C (80°F). Average humidity hovers around 75%. The only real seasons in Trinidad and To¬bago are the rainy season (June to November) and the dry season (December to May). The high season is January to March, with a noticeable peak in February when Carnival draws hordes of visitors and the cost of hotel rooms skyrockets. Booking ahead is essential at this time. Accommodations are cheaper and crowds almost nonexistent in the shoulder seasons – October to December and April to June – though you should do a little dance to ¬ingratiate the rain lords. Sitting outside the hurricane belt, the islands generally don’t experience the severe storms like northerly islands.RECCOMMENDED VACCINATION
Travellers to Trinidad and Tobago are required to show proof of a yellow fever vaccination but only if travelling from a contaminated locale. Although this the only health requirement visitors to Trinidad and Tobago must meet, a vaccination against hepatitis A is recommended since it is a frequently occurring disease on the island. Vaccinations against tuberculosis and hepatitis B are sometimes recommended.
