For those of you are looking to book with a travel group, here's my review on Soca Islands Trinidad Carnival 2/26 - 3/6: with Soca Islands I booked an all-inclusive package with Soca Islands, which included VIP fete tickets, a costume with Yuma + costume collection, hotel accommodations, costume photoshoot, airport transfers, and group transportation to and from events. Yes, I know you can book everything yourself, but I didn’t want the hassle of figuring it all out since this was my first time in Trinidad. I’m a pay-for-convenience kind of gyal! Booking Process: Super easy to book through their website. They have a chat function where you can ask questions before booking, and they provide a general itinerary upfront so you know what you're signing up for. They also offer payment plans, which is a plus. Cost: $3,350 without costume $4,300 with Front Line Costume and honestly, worth every penny for a stress-free experience! Itinerary & Organization: Hands down, the most organized trip I’ve ever been on. They were transparent, clear, and over-communicated (in the best way possible). ✔️ Text reminders throughout the day ✔️ Final itinerary emailed weeks before the trip, with links to past events so you could see how people dressed ✔️ Detailed packing list, clothing themes, helpful apps, and maps ✔️ No surprises—very detailed itinerary Accommodations: Soca Islands offered two hotel options: Kapok Hotel and Hololo Haven. I stayed at Hololo Haven. ✔️ Clean rooms with balconies ✔️ Air conditioning (very important because my friends stayed in an Airbnb with no AC 😩) ✔️ 30 minutes from the airport in a quiet residential area ✔️ Welcoming concierge ✔️ Meals included: Breakfast and lunch provided Transportation: ✔️ Group travel was included, so we all met at a designated bus, got taken to our events, and picked up afterward. ✔️ Clear meetup times & locations for every event. ✔️ Spacious, air-conditioned buses made travel easy. ✔️ Private driver option available if you prefer to go solo or with friends. No need to worry about hunting for rides—transport was smooth and well-coordinated. Food: ✔️ Most events included food & drinks with admission. ✔️ Plenty of street vendors outside events for quick bites. ✔️ Food delivery apps available if you want to order in. Great variety of cuisines too. ✔️ Hotel provided daily snacks, bottled water, and juice. Nightlife & Events: **See photos for Itinerary** AM Beach, Scorch Unite, Phucket, AM Bush, Soca Brainwash, Sunny Side Up, Jouvert ✔️ Tickets to all events were prepurchased and already included. ✔️ You can skip events or come & go on your own using a rideshare. ✔️ No pressure to stick with the group—you can do your own thing. Safety: Met several solo female travelers, and they had no issues. Strong police presence at events made things feel safe. As long as you take normal precautions, you’ll be fine traveling alone. Final Thoughts: Soca Islands delivered an incredible Carnival experience—organized, transparent, and stress-free. Communication was top-tier, and I never had to guess what was happening next. 10/10 would book again!

L'organisation était au top, les costumes conformes à nos demandes initiales, le carnaval et les soirées inoubliables et ce en toute sécurité. A très vite pour un prochain Carnaval.

Dennis and I (Deborah) are retired US Military Personnel and have traveled the world for work and personal reasons. We have traveled with groups and by ourselves with the intent of exploring new regions and experiencing the local culture. I must admit traveling with Soca Islands Tours far exceeded our expectations. We were prepared for the normal tourist adventure. We were pleasantly surprised with the experience of a lifetime. This says a lot from seasoned travelers. What really made the difference, in addition to the varied itinerary, was the host expertise and interaction. Roger was an amazing host. He was able to pivot to accommodate as necessary the group's desire and make recommendations to ensure a meaningful/pleasurable experience. We were even blessed with an add-on to the itinerary (Malaysia) which was remarkable. Overall we enjoyed the established tours and all the accommodations were top tier hotels. We enjoyed the group make up; coming from various Caribbean Islands and as far as from the United States. Had we not used the services of Soca Islands Tours, I am not sure we would have been exposed to many cultural sites (although famous). The cruise in Vietnam was another plus for us. Thank you to Roger and the team for the top notch service we received throughout the entire process. We are actually looking forward to our next adventure with Soca Islands Tours. We are Soca Islands customers for LIFE. Ruthe Gleason14 June 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had so much fun with this group. I knew no one and now have 21 new friends. The organizer, Roger Kirton, worked around the clock to insure things went smoothly and had a genuine concern for all. When the group had enough of the historic temples, different itineraries were developed. There was something for everyone. The snippets of life we experienced in Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand created an urge to travel there again. I look forward to participating in future travel opportunities with Soca Islands.
