The only way to go -except flying- from Venezuela to Trinidad, seems to be the weekly Wednesday ferry from Chaguaramas. However, some friends who recently came from their holidays in Venezuela told me that they were offered to go to Trinidad while touring the Orinoco delta. They were not interested and cannot give more information, they just told me it seemed quite common for boats to go to Trinidad. I can imagine this is not a legal way to enter the country, but if someone has more reliable information, it would be good to know whether there is any entry point in the south of the island, and how safe it is, in case those boats really exist.

Hola Xut,
You may risk getting on a fishing boat from Guiria to T T, mind you there is a lot of illegal trade going on in those wherabouts so mind who you get on a boat with. The ferry from Guiria, in the Sucre State in the Northeast of Venezuela, is your best option. It isn't that expensive, but prices may seem high as they are quoted in TT $. Check in time is 03:00p.m. Departure time 05:00p.m. Luggage must no exceed 18Kg, carry on 6Kg. Scheduled time of arrival in Trinidad 08:30 - 09:00p.m. You may want to dial +58 (0) 294 982 1556 during office hours and ask for
Judith Brito in charge of ticket sales for more information. They don't speak English on the Vzlan side.
Hope this info works for you,
Travel safe,
All the best
