Hi

I am going to travel from trinidad to tobago on the 13 of jan. 2009, and i would like to take the ferry, but when i try to push the ferrybutton on this site, it is not posible to link up to the ferryhomepage.
Does the ferries still sail?
Is there another site i can go to, to se the sceduel and book the travel?

Kindly

Benny

Hej Benny.

Færgen sejler stadig ja. Der er vist nok 2 slags, en katamaran og så den de kalder express t&t exspress.

De sejler kun en gang i døgnet, og jeg prøvede lige at se om jeg kunne finde noget på det, men desværre. Håber det var lidt hjælp.

Hope thats ok i wrote in danish to Benny. Sorry .

How long are you on Tobago, and where will you stay Benny?? We are going the 3. off February and will be in Castara for 2 weeks.

Hilsen Susanne

Hello Benny

Welcome aboard! :D

Yes, the ferry still operates. The online ticket website appears to have been taken down, so I've amended our ferry page and can now only refer readers to the Port Authority website at http://www.patnt.com/. As far as I can tell, you can no longer book ferry tickets online.

Hej

Vi er i Charlotteville 1 uge, så 1 uge i Castara og slutter med 5 dage i Black Rock, vi rejser hjem d. 2 feb, så vi kan vinke på vej over atlanten.
I castara bor vi et sted der hedder Naturalist Beach.
Det er vores første besøg på disse kanter, så vi er temmelig spændte!!

Tak for hjælpen og hav en rigtig dejlig ferie.

Benny

Maybe they were saying that the Ferry is often found in the sea ... inbetween Tobago and Trinidad :mrgreen:

being german I could get more from them than that...I do know where they are staying now and how long. Ha! no secret language.
but you are right. it is most likely to find the ferry somewhere on that route. anything else would be worrysome, don't you think? :wink:
we use it quite often and it is not easy to get tickets. only at the port if you have a vehicle and only two days or more in advance at other locations like post offices. very sad that there is no propper online booking system in place. let's keep dreaming, maybe one day.... steve, can't you sell them one :lol:

off for today

Hi

Sorry for the danish egotripping, but it is so nice speaking danish that we just could not stop ;o)

Thanks for the help, we look forward to experience the ferry, both in harbour and at sea!
