Always wanted to experience Trinidad Carnival but had no idea where to start? Newbie to Bacchanal was created for you. This isn't just a Carnival package, it's a hosted experience designed to help you navigate Carnival from touchdown to the road. Package pricing varies based on occupancy and room configuration. Select “See Availability” to view all package options and pricing.
Join us for six unforgettable nights in Trinidad as we take the guesswork out of experiencing one of the world's most exciting Carnival celebrations. From the fetes and music to the costumes, culture and Carnival Monday and Tuesday, we've put together an experience designed especially for first-timers — while still leaving room for you to enjoy Trinidad your way.
Your Carnival experience includes accommodations, daily breakfast, airport transfers, private transportation to included events, some of Trinidad's most anticipated fetes, Panorama, an exclusive group experience, and your Carnival Tuesday costume.
We'll also take care of the costume logistics, including ordering and pickup, with day-of assistance to help get you road-ready for Carnival Tuesday.
Come for the Carnival. Experience the culture. Leave understanding the bacchanal.

Welcome to Trinidad! Upon arrival, we'll head to the hotel for check-in and a chance to get settled before officially kicking off our Carnival experience. Then it's time for your first taste of the bacchanal at TRIBE Fete. Get ready—the week is just getting started!
Airport transfer and transportation to/from the included fete are provided.
We're jumping straight into the Carnival energy with Freebird Fete in the morning.
After Freebird, head back to the hotel for some much-needed downtime. Rest, recharge, grab a bite or enjoy some free time—because we're not finished yet! We'll head back out that evening for our Friday night fete and another taste of Trinidad's legendary Carnival party scene.
Transportation to/from included events is provided.
Today is all about the music!
We'll spend the afternoon at Soca Brainwash, one of Carnival's signature fete experiences, surrounded by soca, incredible décor and nonstop vibes. That evening, we switch gears for Panorama, where you'll experience the power and culture of Trinidad's world-famous steelpan competition. From fete to pan—today you'll experience two very different sides of Trinidad Carnival.
Today, we're stepping away from the fetes to experience another side of Trinidad.
We've reserved this day for an exclusive group experience curated especially for our Newbie to Bacchanal crew. Think local culture, island vibes, good food and an opportunity to experience Trinidad beyond the Carnival celebrations. The exact experience will be revealed closer to the trip — but trust us, it'll be worth it. 😉
Afterward, the evening is yours to relax and recharge because Carnival Monday is next... and we're hitting the road!
This is what we've been building up to—Carnival Monday!
Today, we leave the sidelines and become part of the celebration with the Carnival Monday/Monday Mas experience. Expect music, movement, soca and that unmistakable energy that can only be experienced on the streets of Trinidad.
After the road, the evening is yours to rest and recharge.
Tomorrow, we do it all over again—but prettier.
It's Carnival Tuesday—the grand finale and your moment to experience Pretty Mas!
Your day includes your Carnival costume, professional makeup, photography and our team's road-ready support, so you can focus on enjoying the experience.
This is the day you've been waiting for. Put on the feathers, gems and glitter and get ready to cross the stage!
You came as a newbie. Today, you're officially part of the bacchanal.
All good bacchanal must eventually come to an end... unless you're not ready to go home yet!
Guests ending their journey today will check out and transfer to the airport for their flight home. Want a little more island time? Guests who select the optional Tobago extension will continue on for a change of pace and some post-Carnival relaxation.
Either way, you'll be leaving with six nights of memories—and a completely different understanding of what Trinidad Carnival is all about.
