Trinidad & Tobago: A Tropical Birding Hotspot

Limited space remaining on this confirmed departure!

Our travellers always enjoy the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. In fact, those who go as self-described "non-birders" usually return as converts! And it's easy to understand why. The influence of nearby South America has ensured an astonishing variety of birds, and they are also wonderfully visible, serving as an excellent and relaxed introduction to birding in the New World tropics!

The world-renowned Asa Wright Nature Centre is our Trinidad base. It is alive with birds and, if you are a first-time visitor to this part of the world, you might see 20-30 new birds before breakfast! We will make day-trips from the Centre to see the famous Scarlet Ibis arrive at their evening roost at Caroni Swamp, see the highly unusual Oilbird, and journey from the lowlands to the mountains on the lookout for Ruby-topaz Hummingbird, Moriche Oriole, and many others.

We will then fly to Tobago, a smaller island with special attractions of its own. There will be excellent swimming and snorkelling in the aquamarine waters and a boat trip to the seabird nesting island of Little Tobago, where we’ll watch elegant Red-billed Tropicbirds fly along the cliff faces and Brown Boobies skim the water below. The pace of this trip will be relaxed, as we will use but two accommodations during our entire stay.

If you are looking for a special treat, join us on our next tour to the sunny and warm islands of Trinidad and Tobago!
