My TOUGHEST day in Trinidad and Tobago . Learn from my Mistakes

[@yulandarobinson7568]

You are so amazing for still giving us the experience. I pray you stay well and safe.

[@GiscardNdaka-su7kc]

Sorry

[@athp000]

DRAMAMINE/Gravol sells at both ports. Going back down to Tdad is smoother ride. I never eat on the boats, and I sleep immediately from start till arrival. Tobago, hopefully you have someone to drive you around the tiny island maybe 8hrs. Visiting: Plymouth mystery tombstone Roxborough Argyle waterfall Speyside lookout, and little tobago. Parlatuvier hill lookout Castara dirt oven bread Taste bake and smoke herring/ buljol Taste curry crab and dumplings. Taste callaoo and dasheen Taste tobago pelau Taste any milk punch. Taste coconut bake and cocoa tea. Eat fresh cocoa and drink coconut water.

[@myrtledouglas6717]

Thank you for all your awesome videos of Trinidad and Tobago ❤

[@beencouraged10]

Sending hugs to you sorry that happened to you 😢 get some ginger tea or mint tea to settle your stomach. I pray that you feel better. And thanks for showing my beautiful country trinidad and tobago 🇹🇹. And your channel is amazing be blessed.❤

[@marjoriedavidson6057]

Anyone can become sea sick according to the roughness o the sea.

[@yourstrulyDKC]

Going back by boat is going to be a smoothe ride. Since you are going to be going in the direction of the waves. I am from Tobago, I Know.❤

[@rufusmims1007]

Thanks for sharing 👍 Trinidad and Tobago it was like being there on vacation, From the USA

[@barbaraskitchen-ju]

Tigress you're walking my street, the island of my birth I'm excited 🇹🇹🇺🇸

[@mrcgrant7]

A T, so sorry the journey wasn’t a pleasant one for you because of sea sickness. Hope you recover quickly. Thanks for sharing your journey 🫶🏽nuff respect 🇯🇲

[@joannbarry3496]

As soon as I saw you getting on the ferry I knew it wasn’t going to be good. The ride between Trinidad and Tobago is a rough one and many people get sick. I’m Trini living in the US and I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos.

[@islandgirl3330]

Only on the smaller ferries.

[@colinalcala6346]

Next time take some Gravol tablets before you sail. It helps. Sorry you got sick. Get the Gravol. Going through the Dragons Mouth and the Bocos can be a challenge for most people. 😊

[@yourstrulyDKC]

Seeing your home or village on youtube is amazing

[@raythomas2738]

Tigress you should write a book. You have a great aptitude to do so. I loved the way you described your sea sickness experience. I felt as if I was right beside you on the boat. Hugs and love from Raymond

[@stacybarnes8428]

AT thanks for taking us a long big up uh self ❤ I love how you respect the Uber driver and ask if he wants to be on in ur video a lot of KZbinr don’t respect people space One Love from cold 🥶 and snow ❄️ Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

[@audibledarkness]

Thanks for all of your informative info💐 May your journey’s be endless!🇰🇪

[@Joseph-fp7ub]

Halo African Tigress. Sorry for that ferry bad incident in Tubago. Me I am residing here in Kenya. Even me I have following you from Africa, Asia, Europe and now Carebean. And I have downloaded many of your videos. You always inspire Me and Others because of your educational adventures. Keep up and GOD leads you always in your work 👍

[@kaydenpat]

I’m glad you’ve reached Tobago!! Beautiful!! P.S. Hope you feel better real soon!!

[@Dionne8208b]

I don't eat when sailing to Tobago, it helps me to avoid feeling sick plus i uses salt prunes and chew gums to ease the upset feeling.

[@AfrikanProverbs]

It's so exciting to see that you're in Tobago now! I can't wait to see all the incredible adventures you'll experience on that stunning island. My first Caribbean friend was from Tobago, and we've been in touch for over 20 years now. Such an awesome friend, and I do not doubt that you'll enjoy the company of the friendly Tobagans. I'm praying for your quick healing so you can explore every nook and cranny of Tobago and share your adventures with us. Jienjoy sana, Lynn!

[@colinalcala6346]

The Galeons Passage ferry is more used for Cargo whilst the other ferries are more passenger oriented. 😊

[@ricko2301]

They sell stuff in the port to take before sailing to avoid sea sickness. It works well

[@tina-mariecrocker5687]

Fresh ginger is best for sea sickness

[@tonercity]

I LIKE YOUR ARTICULATION AND REPORTING TIGRESS.. KEEP IT GIRL KENYA IS SO PROUD OF YOU

[@andrehenry4286]

African Tigress - Make sure to return on one of The Catamarans - The APT JAMES or THE BUCCOO REEF. Additionally take 02 Gravol tablets 30 minutes before sailing; and minimize your eating. Do this and you would enjoy a beautiful ride that combines sleep and maritime sightseeing. Pay heed to this advice and your trip back to Trinidad would be wonderful. Enjoy Beautiful Tobago...!!!!

[@ZaniinaN3690]

I'm so delighted with your latest community post. Keep up the great job. More blessings.

[@theoadelaidabondocabe7261]

African Tigress:Thanks you so much for your new remarkable videos this week to shows these amazing places in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago in February of 2024❤❤❤

[@petersammy7749]

The reason you had stomach problems, The Bocas is three sets of water meeting, it's also called the serpent mouth!!

[@oceejekwam6829]

The graphics are appreciated, we could see your journey. I'm glad you're over the sea sickness.

[@colinalcala6346]

Another tip is to get a seat in the Mid Ship area, the rocking is less

[@andrearosezanna]

Take grovol it's sold in any pharmacies I cannot travel to Tobago without it also take a grovol if u are planning on doing the glass bottom boat to nylon pool as well

[@Southfloridavibes]

So sorry AT, but I hope your trip will be worth it. I'm a Trini and I've never been to Tobago. But the next time I'm in Trinidad I will be going, always wanted to. Have lots of fun and food 🥑🥝.

[@davidhuggins146]

Gravol to go... It is much smoother coming back... The bigger boats handle the waves much better... Someone should have warned you....

[@marjoriedavidson6057]

It is not the fault of anyone, especially if one is unaccustomed to travelling on the sea.

[@theoadelaidabondocabe7261]

African Tigress:Congratulations to you for your remarkable videos in Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago to shows these amazing places on the remarkable Caribbean Island country in 2024❤❤❤

[@TriniMan47]

It seems you are very close to Fort George. Visit fort George, walk to the "I Love Tobago" sign, walk through the city of Scarborough. Tourist area is Crown Point close to the airport - walk to Store Bay, Swallows and Pigeon Point. I recommend you go stay in Buccoo (for the goat and crab races) and for the country area stay in Castara and Charlottesville

[@annet1407]

Sorry about your experience. I've never travelled on the ferry to Tobago. I was warned by my family that it's not a good experience with a lot of people getting sea sickness. That's why we travelled by air when I went there in December. Hope that you are feeling better. You will enjoy it. I certainly did.

[@kuyahkudey3217]

It's great for Trinbagonians that that T&T seems to have great roads.

[@islandgirl3330]

I always wonder why people think we don't have good roads. We have a pitch lake.

[@patriciamatthews9390]

So sorry to hear that i hope it won't stop you from coming to the Carribean we all love you ❤️💋🇯🇲

[@Justcharming8924]

We use Gravol as well, it helps with the sea sickness. Fhe bocas is rough, its felt mode witb the smaller boats.

[@SuperChildofChrist]

Some ppl get sea sick, like myself that’s why we have other alternatives.

[@lendlalfred7870]

The scent of the boat together, the roughness of the seas, and the duration of the travel can cause sea sickness. Even some locals feel it too, we are not immune. I suggest next time to take some gravel. It helps settles your stomach and the drowsy side effects can help you sleep through out the journey. I hope you continue to enjoy our country. Both Islands have thier own unique charms.

[@rosemariegray-olabiran7991]

Gm thank you for your amazing coverage of Trinidad and Tobago.

[@jeanelaine]

I had that on a boat ride around montserrat the most gut wrenching sea sickness..never ever

[@joyarchie2252]

Tks for all your videos. You should have taken one or two gravol tablets and that would have helped a lot. Going through what we call the Bocas is very rough. Going back to Trinidad is much calmer.

[@GoSeeAfrica]

So far I have travelled to over 50 countries without visa stamps. Thanks to this beautiful African princess (AT). Tobago looks heavenly

[@rudolphharrigan1804]

I am very sorry about this bad experience, You enjoy yourself and I hope you will travel to the Caribbean again and thank you for sharing your journey

[@beatrice123ful]

She’s enjoying her time now in the beautiful island of Haiti

Why do you have 1804 on your name for

[@Mr1570504]

Hello african tigress, I'm from trinidad but lives in Canada, I enjoy your trini vidoes...❤

[@marlonjeffers5269]

Glad you enjoying Tobago so far. So much to see there

[@jenniferalleyne8943]

I would be very lovely traveling back by the ferry. Very smooth. Just make sure it's the APT James or the Buccoo Reef that's traveling. Sorry for your experience coming up on that vessel. You should have find out how is the ride first, and what could have made it a comfortable one. Hope to see you while here. 😊Do have a fantastic time.

[@eliteharrington7377]

"When adventure call I answer." Put that on your t-shirt when you're doing your videos ❤🎉

[@intuitiveempath8988]

Sea sickness is real, I’m lucky I’ve never had it but if you do get it, the trick is not to eat anything before going on boat rides.. I did a sail boat ride once for a week out at sea on a old fashioned sailing boat.. when I finally got on land, I got land sickness because my body got used to the motion/ movement of the boat at sea.. it’s crazy how that works.

[@maxinejohnson2781]

Went to Tobago in 2013 and stayed at Sandy Point Beach Club. Broke my leg the second day there. Love their curry chicken. We ate at Jemma’s Seaview Kitchen and enjoyed every bite.

[@karenleach6427]

AFRICAN TIGRESS when i go wigh ferry from experience always take gravol with you before you get on the ferry then eat you will sleep and feel great first time i travel the same thing happened dont matter which boat you travel with always take the gravol tablet you will not trow up i like how you cook the green banana with colaz smith tv and his team be safe ❤good luck

[@geetaramjattan5239]

U are so amazing love watching your videos i am watching from Princess Town in Trinidad 🇹🇹

[@BrendaSmart-e3g]

Just like Kevin xplained earlier ,the price of the plane ticket ,from Trinidad to Tobago is also subsidised.

[@shirminmuraldo2229]

Happy you visited Tobago. Next time you have to take Gravol pill to prevent sea sickness, however, you need to take them before the ferry pulls out. That way you will be able to eat. Going back to Trinidad you will not feel that way because the boat is going with the tide but when going to Tobago it is riding against the tide. That is my best explanation of it. Hope you enjoyed your stay and will visit again.

[@rosemariegray-olabiran7991]

Im from Speyside. Make sure to visit nyloon pool, rain Forest, fort George, argyle waterfalls, kings bay, store bay, pigeon point, Charlottesville at the suck hole restaurant, jemma tree housr restaurant in Speyside etc. Also try some of our traditional sweets such as bene ball, paw paw balls, tamarin balls, sugar cake, etc

[@NollywoodQuickRecaps]

Hi amazing African Tigress. While you are still in the carribean, I would love to see Haiti as well. I believe it's a diaspora african country full of amazing people🙂. You are doing great

[@GenevieveWaller-pk3xg]

Haiti has a rich history but suffers so much. It is the first place that slaves fought in the 17 century and became free, they lead the road to freedom and opened their door to other slaves, and slave escaping their country on arriving in Haiti automatically became free and a citizen. Other slaves looked up to Haiti and because of them all other slaves in the islands and the Americas fought for their freedom.

[@GenevieveWaller-pk3xg]

Big up to Haiti!

[@marvamahone8856]

Feel better soon

[@llebron67]

I know how you feel. That happened to me when I was in Puerto Rico. I took a cargo as well from Fajardo to Culebra. I vomiting all the way there and I pissed on my self as well and I wasn’t the only one.They also told me that I should’ve taken the bigger ferry but I didn’t know about it. I hope you feel better

[@kimberlygila]

Hello lynn and sorry you experienced sea sickness and l hope you will feel better soon and safe travels in Tobago.

[@johnyara5911]

A T sorry you had to go through scary ordeal/ experience. It’s gonna be alright. Pole!

[@rrsp60]

Tigress, the only mistake I saw was you buying that cold sandwich.😊

[@adorafrank8348]

Afrian tigress the boat you took was the cargo boat the other boat takes two and a half hours.where you came off the boat I live right there on the other side.i live in NY for the past 35yrs .I hope you enjoy the plane is about 15 to20 minutes.

[@Trinavara]

Nah she took the Galleons Passage, it's a passenger and car ferry also but not as big or as advanced as the Cats..

[@vicferrmat4492]

Get well soon.

[@GenevieveWaller-pk3xg]

Tobago is well known for it's curry crab and dumpling! You must try it. Also they have great creole food with fish.

[@primuzor6875]

Sea sickness is not nice. I’ve been there and learned my lesson. Keep being Great at what you do. May God continue to bless you on your travels.❤

[@roberttavares4963]

I am happy you feeling better Tigress

[@jacquelinemadoo2616]

I have never taken the boat to Tobago, but I always hear the same experience you experienced. You will enjoy the island as the guy explained to you. I will be visiting there in the next two months. My niece told me to take a travel tablet if ever I want to try it. Blessings to you and enjoy your trip. Be safeand look forward to your vlogs from there.🎉❤

[@glorious5628]

Hopefully, you are feeling better, and thank you for visiting Tobago. It's just a pity you were not able to take in the full beauty of Tobago, just the place to wind down after a hectic Carnival . Maybe on your next visit, you'll get a chance to experience tranquillity at its best. Enjoy the rest of your stay🙏🏾🇹🇹

[@nubianprincess618]

Please get your rest AT. lf you are going to use the ferry heading back to Trinidad, I suggest that you purchase Gravol to help with the sea sickness. The journey back to Trinidad is not bad. I am so sorry that you experienced this. Enjoy our twin island Tobago and what it has to offer, I know you would ❤️ it

[@anopiahjagbir9712]

Someone should of told you to fly to Tobago and take the boat back it’s better coming back enjoy your stay in Tobago 👍👍

[@tnimblett]

I didn't even have to watch the whole video. From the time I saw you buying breakfast I knew what was coming. I've traveled by boat from Trinidad to Tobago all my life and stopped when they got those catamarans 😂😂😂

[@Trinavara]

She didn't go on a cat, those cats are much better than the Galleons Passage that she went on, now that's a rocking boat...

[@andrehenry4286]

The Catamarans provide a superior experience to that of The Galleons Passage.

[@lisalai8709]

I love Tobago…that boat-ride does make me sick too. Feel better and enjoy your stay.

[@miriamjones8804]

Can't believe I miss this , watching replay 🫂🇹🇹

[@marissa6558]

I would recommend Pigeon Point beach if you're looking for calmer waters. Store bay is quite rough. Hope you feel better soon.

[@miriamojwang9881]

Pole sana AT. I suppose that's part of the travel experiences. Good thing is that you've enlightened some of us who might want to take the trip. ❤. Apart from that, looks like a beautiful island from the little that i have seen.

[@jenniferalleyne8943]

Welcome to Tobago, African Tigress. I sorry you had a difficult journey in this Galleon!s Passage. It's the worst of the vessels coming to Tobago. But what you should have done is to take a motion sickness table fir the journey. Coming up.is bad, but going back is smooth sailing. Hope to see you while here

[@roberttavares4963]

Greetings and blessings AFRICAN TIGRESS

[@debbiejohn8381]

❤ It’s sad you were not recommended a motion sickness tablet for thecsail🇹🇹 , anyway have a wonderful experience in Tobago

[@IandiBoats]

So imagine being on a boat chained to a platform with people above you and Below you, using the bathroom on you, for 40 days. That is what our Ancestors had to endure during the Middle Passage. ❤️🖤💚💛😢

[@AFRICANTIGRESS]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@andrehenry4286]

This Is A Keen Observation.

[@akil2746]

More than 40 days..sometimes 3 months or more.

[@a.m.4289]

@akil2746 This was happens when you dealing with the DEVILS. Now they want an independent country separate from S.A.

[@ingridingrid9216]

Keep looking in the rear view mirror see where it will get you

[@tinatendi]

I’m sending you lots of hugs 🤗

[@marvalove5946]

Oh African Tigress I feel it for you please go to the pharmacy and buy yourself some motion sickness medicine (Antiemetic tablets) those ships are not cruise ships I suffer with motion sickness when I go to Tobago I took my pill as I enter the ship and I slept until the ship landed watching you from Florida Trinidad is where I born enjoy the beaches

[@anthonymo4037]

Sorry about your situation. As everyone said, take gravol as you get on the boat, additionally try not to eat anything before going on the boat. The trip is jus 4 hours to Tobago so if you can just hold out till then.

[@clintquintal5885]

Sorry you got sea sick. This has happened to me before. Gravol works great for me. Take some next time. When did you go across to Tobago? After the Carnival?

[@bernadinemaynard9327]

Sorry to hear about your experience on the ferry but it's better to take a plane to visit Tobago and the ferry to return to Trinidad get well soon do enjoy your stay in our sister isle much ❤

[@XC20248]

AT you NEVER take the Galleons Passage. Only APT James or Buccoo Reef. They are larger and designed by specialist Fast Ferry builders. The Galleons was a fill in that should have never been

[@yourstrulyDKC]

Thank you sir for helping

[@yourstrulyDKC]

There is APT James and Buccoo Reef Ferry

[@trasingh5562]

I WENT TOBAGO A FEW TIMES, BUT ITS ALWAYS ON PLANE, I WANTED TO TRY THE BOAT THIS YEAR, BUT, I MUST THANK YOU FOR ""CHANGING MY MIND"" 😅😅😅......NO WAAAAY AM I GETTING ON THAT BOAT NOW, UMMUMMMMM.............I GOT NAUSEA JUST LISTENING TO YOU EXPLAIN IT...SORRY YOU GOT A REAL TRINI EXPERIENCE, 😊😊😊...

[@DATtriniDanyBoyy]

Oh, okay, I been commenting asking you going to Tobago, hoping you go and show how it's like. I never been in Tobago ✌️

[@hyacinthmckenzie406]

African Tigres, maybe because you did not have a good sleep it affected you more. Who knows, earlier than usually coffee onnnnn your stomach . Who knows African Tigres? Thanks for sharing! Good luck,!!❤❤❤ Jamaican Canadian 😂😂😂

[@lynalexander938]

So sorry to hear about your experience, on my last trip to Tobago I had a similar experience too but on my way back to Trinidad I took gravol tablets and slept the whole trip. Enjoy your stay in Tobago though.

[@sharp-m2k]

15:01 Oohhh gosh! Check them flying saucers in the sky, like they going Tobago too!

[@andreamcmillan5334]

Most people do not get sick you will see them eating drinking and walking about, the sea could be rough sometimes however when I use the ferry calm waters or not I take a gravol I have never gotten sick everyone experience is different, many use the boat regularly and they never complain

[@Kathyann-vq3kv]

Next time take gravol. When coming back it is a different ride and try not to watch the water. We went on the buccoo reef boat

[@rosemariegray-olabiran7991]

You are in my beautiful island of my birth beautiful Tobago. Drink lots of tea, with ginger and lemon. Feel better.

[@MayPointOfView]

i exprienced the same thing while i was travelling on a ferry from dar es salam to zanzibar, i was supposed to spend 3 days in zanzibar but ended up spending 2 weeks postponing because of the trauma.

[@Keston868]

Those Bocas waters can be a challenge when heading towards Tobago. You will however be fine if you chose to travel back to Trinidad on boat.

[@islandgirl3330]

Tigress, sorry to hear that you took one of the smaller ferries. There are newer, larger ones besides the one you mentioned. Just don't sit in the front, because you might feel the dipping effect from the waves when leaving Scarborough, if the the sea is rough. Tobago is the place that I would like to spend my winters. If you can get someone to drive you through Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve, don't miss it. Enjoy! It is not as hectic as Trinidad and the people may be friendler.

[@realpaddoo1428]

Your comment was a good one until the ending of the last sentence. I travel to Tobago very often, people are people all around the world, good and bad, friendly and unfriendly.

[@eddyayoung]

You are so lucky to be going on the boat to tobago

[@PeacefulIsoscelesTriangl-qm3wz]

Stay safe wishing you quick recovery ❤

[@whz366]

So sorry you experienced such intense sickness on the boat trip. It would be better to take a plane flight back to Piarco.

[@jonathanhenry5646]

coffee and that sandwich was a critical mistake lol when I saw you eating before you left I knew it wouldn't end well. Going back to Trinidad especially on the late sailing is way better and they seem to be in less of a hurry. Also sit to the back middle of the boats for less turbulence. Never sit in the front especially by the window
