My favorite was J’ouvert! There was something about everybody being covered in paint that was an equalizer. I loved that we were all in this big mess together. Something unexpected that was a big “ah ha” for me, was how respectful everyone was of my body and my space. We were darn near naked the whole week and no one ever touched or grabbed inappropriately like they do here in the States. I also appreciated all the body positivity

Our love story? Well, it all started amidst the vibrant beats of Trinidad Carnival in 2006. Yep, that's us in costume, meeting for the first time! 🎭❤️
Once we started swapping Carnival tales, we realized something crucial. There were so many kindred spirits like us, craving the Carnival buzz but feeling lost amidst the chaos of planning – tickets, costumes, safe stays? Sounds familiar?
And that’s how the magic began! Ultimate Trinidad Carnival burst onto the scene, followed by Ultimate Crop Over, Ultimate Spicemas and Ultimate St. Lucia Carnival. We're on a mission to sprinkle confidence and banish your worries, making your Carnival journey a drama-free delight.
When we say we’ve got you covered, we mean it! Forget the planning stress – all you need to do is book that flight, toss some beachwear in your suitcase, and show up at the airport. We’ll handle the rest, from A+ BBB ratings to being your safety superheroes.
Trust us, our team is not just about the party life (though we're quite the pros), we’re also beach-lounging, ‘liming’ aficionados. Think of our entire team as your Carnival guides who bring the fun and safety while leaving room for those sandy beach moments!

I had no worries. All I had to do was show up! I feel I got a lot of bang for my buck. I felt like a true VIP at every event I went to. People were looking like “Who are they?” Best organized trip I’ve ever been on
Meeting the staff and other travelers was the best part. Watching everyone encourage and enjoy each other’s dancing, drinking, beautiful costume displays, etc. Seeing my travel-mate literally transform into a freer version of herself throughout the course of the trip

Frequently Asked Questions about our Trinidad Carnival packages
I’ll be traveling to Trinidad alone because none of my friends or family want to go. Can you find a roommate for me?
With a roommate, you can take advantage of our double occupancy pricing. Please note we ONLY match roommates in a room with 2 queen beds.
You may also want to consider a single occupancy package if you’d prefer to room alone. See the single supplement information above in the 5-night Premium Experience section for details – click here.
How do I register more than 1 person?
On the registration form, please enter the name of your travel companion in the “roommate” field. We’ll use this information to match you both in your room. If you need a roommate, please enter “need roommate” in this field.
After completing our registration form, click “submit” and you’ll be directed to PayPal to make your payment. After we receive your payment, you’ll be sent a confirmation email of your registration. Registrations will not be confirmed without payment AND a completed registration form for each person.
Please make sure your travel companion(s) complete their registration forms within 48 hours to confirm their spots.
In regards to the costumes, which band are you associated with? How does ordering my costume work?
We’re confident that Yuma will take care of you, provide you with a beautiful costume and show you a GREAT time!
We’ll place your costume order, pickup and deliver your costume to you at the Hilton Trinidad for your personalized fitting with a member of our team. Once Yuma launches their costume designs on their website, we’ll email you to place your order. We’ll also ask for your measurments at this time (usually in July/August). When your costume is confirmed, we’ll notify you via email as well.
Is there an opportunity to upgrade to a Frontline costume in your 5-night Premium Experience?
- In the Ultimate Carnivalista Upgrade, an Individual costume is a more elaborate design with a much larger backpack (feathers) than a Midline or a Frontline costume. Its design is based on the same colour scheme and the designer’s vision of the costume section. It is NOT a custom designed costume. however, there are many other custom designed items in this Upgrade such as your accessories and your Monday wear.
- If you decide you’d like a Frontline costume, we’ll let you know the exact upgrade costs in July/August 2024 when Yuma launches their costumes on their website. Payment of your Frontline costume upgrade is due before we can order your Yuma costume on your behalf.
What parties (fêtes) are included in your 5-night Premium Experience and 2-night Upgrade?
5-night Premium Experience: Fri Feb 28 – Phuket (all-inclusive ticket) and on Sun Mar 2 – Sunny Side Up Breakfast Party (all-inclusive, Penthouse ticket).
2-night Upgrade: Wed Feb 26 – Lime at the Hyatt (all-white with a touch of lime party, Platinum all-inclusive ticket) and on Thurs Feb 27 – Tribe Ignite (drinks inclusive ticket).
Are flights included in your Trinidad Carnival packages?
We can assist you with your flight booking if you purchase the VIP Upgrade. Just mention it during your Travel Planning Session and we’ll handle de rest!
Please note that currently, there is no COVID-19 testing or vaccination requirement needed to enter Trinidad and Tobago. This could change and as such, we’ll update all of our registered travelers if anything changes closer to February 2025.
