The Good Friday and Easter Monday long weekend, from Friday, April 18, to Monday, April 21, 2025, is a meaningful and vibrant time to experience Trinidad’s unique blend of tradition, faith, and culture. Experience everything Trinidad has to offer – and plan your trip for this long weekend with our handy guide below.

GETTING TO TRINIDAD

Traveling to Trinidad is a breeze with multiple direct flights from the US, Canada, Caribbean, Latin America, Europe, and the UK, along with convenient connections through major international hubs, ensuring a smooth and swift arrival into Port of Spain.

You can fly directly to Trinidad from key cities such as New York, Miami, Orlando, Houston, Toronto, London, Amsterdam, and Panama City, as well as Caribbean islands like Barbados and St. Lucia. With these airlift options, getting to Trinidad has never been easier.

For many, Good Friday is rooted in the Christian faith, with church services and re-enactments of the Stations of the Cross commemorating the sacrifice of Christ. Tradition in Trinidad sees the Good Friday Bobolee, a symbolic stuffed doll representing Judas Iscariot, placed in public spaces and humorously beaten by passersby, signifying betrayal and showcasing light-hearted cultural creativity.
By Easter Monday, the mood shifts to joyful celebration. Families gather for beach outings at spots like Maracas Beach or Las Cuevas and enjoy nature trails leading to scenic destinations like Avocat Falls. For an easy-going activity, try kite flying in local parks such as the Queen’s Park Savannah, a beloved activity for all ages that fills the skies with colourful creations. The weekend is also a delicious treat for foodies, with local delights such as hot cross buns, coconut bake, or provisions with stewed fish.
Whether you’re drawn to the reflective traditions of Good Friday or the festive atmosphere of Easter Monday, this long weekend offers a blend of cultural, spiritual, and outdoor experiences that showcase the warmth and fun of Trinidad.
