About Point Fortin

Point Fortin, officially the Republic Borough of Point Fortin, is the smallest borough in Trinidad and Tobago. Located on the southwestern peninsula of Trinidad, approximately 32 kilometres southwest of San Fernando in the historic county of Saint Patrick, it covers roughly 25 square kilometres with a population of approximately 20,235 people. Once a quiet agricultural community defined by cocoa and coconut estates, Point Fortin was transformed in 1907 when Trinidad Oilfields Limited sank its first oil well on the La Fortunée Estate. The petroleum industry reshaped the town into a major oil-producing hub, culminating in its inauguration on 30 April 1980 as the first Republic Borough in the history of Trinidad and Tobago. After economic recession in the 1980s, the establishment of Atlantic LNG in the mid-1990s revitalised the borough. Today, its four-train liquefaction facility is one of the world's largest LNG operations. Point Fortin is culturally renowned for its annual Borough Day celebrations, headlined by Pan on the Move, a steelband road festival drawing tens of thousands of spectators each year. The borough's identity remains deeply rooted in its oil heritage and the resilience of its people. Read more about Point Fortin

Guide to Tour Guides

A good guide turns a day out into a story: where to find the best views, how a place got its name, and which trails are safe after rain. Many guides on TriniGo work for themselves, so contact them directly by phone, or through the booking form where one is offered.

Before you book, ask about group size, transport, entry fees, food and water, and how long the tour runs. For hikes, check the fitness level needed and wear proper footwear.

Questions visitors ask

Do tour guides need to be certified?

Tour guides can be certified under the Trinidad and Tobago Tourism Industry Certification (TTTIC), a voluntary national standard run by the Trinidad and Tobago Bureau of Standards. Certification is not compulsory, so ask your guide whether they hold it.

How much does a tour cost?

Prices depend on the route, group size, transport and entry fees. Agree the full price and what it covers before the tour starts.

Can a guide pick me up?

Many guides offer pick-up from hotels or the airport. Ask when you book and confirm the meeting point the day before.

What should I bring?

Water, sun protection, insect repellent, comfortable shoes and a light rain jacket. Bring cash for entry fees and small purchases along the way.
