"Best thing since road and soca"

I just started my carnival journey last year and was looking for a group to go overseas with. When I say SocaIslands did not disappoint, it would be an understatement. From the organization of the trip to the drivers and already arranged fete packages it’s a no brainer. There’s a reason why some people in the group were returners and I for sure will be returning!

"Trinidad Carnival 2024"

From the beginning of planning my trip to Trinidad up until the end, Soca Islands provided exceptional service and made my experience better than I could have imagined. Unsure of how to navigate planning carnival in Trinidad, I found Soca Islands and began the process. Their online platform provided every detail needed to plan our trip. Immediately after planning, we were able to remain in communication via WhatsApp. Whenever we needed to ask a question over the months leading up to Trinidad Carnival, we were able to speak with Roger either through text or video conference calls. As time drew closer to reaching Trinidad, again the communication was phenomenal. We were provided with an itinerary with daily activities.
When we actually reached, the service was great. Transportation was available as soon as we landed and all throughout the trip, our accommodations were excellent with a beautiful view of the island, and the itinerary was followed as planned with an amazing lineup of fetes, cultural activities, and a chance to see more of the island. As someone who plans carnival in the states by myself and knows how hectic it can be, I was very appreciative of being able to receive the services of costume and fete ticket pickup, and making sure to reach makeup appointments on time. Everything was done with ease and no stress, as I would have been lost trying to plan this trip myself! Roger, Sophia, and Tisha were there for us for anything we needed. Because of my experience in Trinidad, my next carnival jump will definitely be with
Soca Islands!

"Immersive and accommodating"

This concierge is literally a lifesaver for Trinidad Carnival. Not having to worry about booking event tickets or picking up costumes in the rush of the city was so calming. Also, everyone who worked for Soca Islands was so nice and accommodating. Also, having the option to participate in cultural activities around the island was very exciting. The entire trip was well organized, Roger was very communicative prior to and during the trip, and I felt safe with the group.

The only downfall I would mention is of the group accommodations. I think relying on others for arrival and departure to and from events made it a bit challenging. However, I am not taking off any stars, because Soca Islands cannot control the group dynamics, and when addressed Roger did everything he could to mitigate the issue. Additionally, having reliable transportation was also very helpful when watching others scramble for TT rideshare.

I would highly suggest this concierge to anyone looking for a solo trip or a friend group escape.

"I had an amazing time with Soca Island"

I had an amazing time with Soca Island. The company took care of mostly everything to allow a worry-free trip. I would definitely use them again.

"Lifetime Memory"

I had the pleasure to travel to Trinidad and experience Carnival 2024 through Soca Islands. This company is very professional. All your needs are met. You get to attend several of the major parties not just one or two. Your costume is delivered in a timely fashion.

For anyone looking for the Trinidad Carnival experience. Stop no short of Soca Islands!

"A TIME WAS HAD! I WILL BE BACK WITH SOCA ISLANDS!"

I had a great experience! As a first time visitor and feter at Trinidad Carnival as well as solo traveler, my time with Soca Islands was stress free and virtually seamless. This is the BEST option for a customized carnival experience. Any concerns I had were handled immediately and professionally. I have already begun recommending Soca Islands to friends and family and will be returning myself for the next bacchanal!

"Well taken care of with Soca Islands!!"

I am overall extremely satisfied with Soca Islands!! I had an amazing time as this was my first carnival experience of any kind.

Having no experience to compare it to, some of the things I loved are:
-overall service - the staff was attentive and responsive all through out to answer questions or help with any issues or confusion, of course retrieving and delivering all tickets, packages and costumes as it’s my understanding people wait a long time and not having to navigate that is an awesome part of the experience we paid for.
-transportation to and from all events.
-Fetes- I enjoyed every one of them and have a new found appreciation for the weee hours of the morning party!!! 😂 All the unlimited food was amazing to me. I was definitely on a food tour more than anything and took full advantage of eating my way through fetes!!! 😂
-All the unexpected extras! Food, the goodie bags that included useful items as well as snacks etc.
-felt safe, informed and well taken are of at all times!

"The soca islands team made my Trinidad carnival AMAZING!"

The soca islands team made my Trinidad carnival experience so fun, safe, and seamless! Often in my carnival travels, I get overwhelmed with booking countless fetes, costume and fete pickups, and organizing transportation. However, soca islands took away all my stresses with their help at every avenue - 1) having their payment plan option to pay over time on all fetes, transportation, and costume made it easy to not have to scramble for these things which sell out fast; 2) having them complete all my pickups AND return to pickup if there were issues was a BLESSING, and 3) transportation was consistent, reliable, and safe, which was important because my poor cell phone service made it hard to secure transportation consistently. I love this travel concierge team for their professional work in this business but also for how personable, fun, and intimate the whole group became. Even if I lost my friends from before the trip in a fete, a soca islands sister or brother was always near! Soca islands is family, and I’ll be traveling with them again SOON!

"Soca Islands and Trinidad"

My trip with Soca Islands to Trinidad for Carnival 2024 was my first time visiting the country. Let me just say Roger and his team made this entire experience AMAZING. From cultural events, transportation, all-inclusive VIP fetes, and limin- this trip was EVERYTHING. Having Soca Islands allowed us to see 10x more and experience 20x more than we would have on our own. They are trustworthy, kind, and professional and take time to listen to feedback provided. Thank you Roger!

"Best choice I’ve made in years"

Wasn’t sure what to expect exactly because I’d never done a Carnival. I decided to do something way out of my comfort zone and went on this trip alone. This turned out to be an absolutely insane week of partying (in a good way). I showed up alone, but the travel group became a group of friends that I am sad to have watched go their different directions back to real life.

Roger is a legend- while things rarely go exactly according to plan for all sorts of reasons in a big festival like this, he was available around the clock to work miracles and make sure we all got to where we needed to be and were taken care of. He handled everything start to finish and we didn’t have to worry about hardly anything besides what shoes to wear.

I’ll be doing another one of these as soon as I can budget for it. Letting SocaIslands handle everything was worth every bit of the price so that we could just enjoy the festivities and not stress over the details and logistics (it must be an absolute nightmare lol).
