Trinidad & Tobago
Birdwatching in the Caribbean: Enjoying Trinidad & Tobago's avian delights.
OverviewThis is primarily a birdwatching holiday. The twin-island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago offers the visitor the best of two worlds. Trinidad’s dynamic and vibrant beat nestles comfortably alongside the more serene Tobago, which offers the chance to take a step back and relax. The proximity of the islands to South America has resulted in an unusually diverse fauna, particularly the islands’ birdlife, with no other area in the West Indies, and few areas of comparable size in tropical America, matching the islands’ spectacular species diversity.
On Trinidad, while following mountain trails, walking lowland forest tracks and exploring the Atlantic coast we’ll be looking for Red-bellied macaws, Yellow-crowned parrots plus an array of birds of prey, herons and Howler Monkeys in the Nariva Swamp and wetlands. We’ll discover many of the island’s speciality species of birds and wildlife including huge Tegu Lizards, Channel-billed Toucans and Bearded Bellbirds, to name but a few.
Tobago offers days spent walking in unspoilt mountain rain forest and on coastal trails, with the opportunity to take a glass bottomed boat to the nearby island of Little Tobago to see nesting seabirds such as Red-billed Tropicbirds and Brown Boobies.
