Trinidad & Tobago Birding Tour
Trinidad and Tobago’s diverse habitats,ranging from rainforests and savannas to coastal wetlands and mangroves, make it a top birding destination. With Trinidad's close proximity to mainland South America we will see some classic species from the "bird continent" such as Channel-billed Toucan, White-beaded Manakin, and Bearded Bellbird. On the smaller island of Tobago, we will see more Caribbean influence in the birdlife. On the island of Trinidad we will visit the Caroni Swamp in search of Scarlet Ibis, look for the endemic and critically endangered Trinidad Piping-Guan, and visit caves in search of the peculiar Oilbird. On Tobago we will keep en eye out for Trinidad Motmot and the localized White-tailed Sabrewing.
For beginners and seasoned birders alike, these islands boast an astonishing diversity of bird species, making them an essential stop on any birder’s bucket list. On this tour we will stay at three different lodges, notably the famous Asa Wright Nature Centre where the birding on the lodge grounds is exceptional, and the Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel.
