Trinidad & Tobago: A Tropical Birding Hotspot '24
Jan 20-29, 2024
10 days | Trinidad & Tobago | Birding
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 bird life here is astonishingly varied and visible, making for an excellent and relaxed introduction to birds of (and birding in) the New World Tropics. We could observe over 200 bird species during this trip!
We begin on our adventure on Trinidad, where the world-renowned Asa Wright Nature Centre will be our base. Located in an idyllic forest setting, it simply teems with birds and you might see 20-30 bird species before breakfast. During our stay on Trinidad, we’ll observe the Scarlet Ibis at their famous evening roost at Caroni Swamp, see the highly unusual Oilbird, journey from the lowlands to the mountains in search of the gaudy Ruby-topaz Hummingbird, and listen for the intriguing “bonk” of the Bearded Bellbird ringing through the rainforest.
We will then fly to Tobago, the smaller of the two islands with its own special attractions. In addition to walking in the world’s very first rainforest reserve, there will be excellent swimming and snorkelling in the aquamarine waters, and a boat trip to the seabird island of Little Tobago where we’ll watch striking Red-billed Tropicbirds fly along the cliff faces and Brown Boobies skim the water’s surface.
