Trinidad and Tobago tours with Wild About Travel

Wildlife watching tours - bird watching holidays - culture tours for independent travellers and groups

Tour Trinidad and Tobago and marvel at the flocks of Scarlet Ibis at Caroni Bird Sanctuary or visit Matura Beach to see one of the world's largest breeding colonies of the endangered Giant Leatherback Sea Turtle (peak egg laying is from March to August).  Alternatively you can swim in pristine turquoise water, snorkel the coral reefs, kayak on the Ortoire River, windsurf or just relax on a number of fine beaches.  If you would like an eco-adventure combined with some rest and relaxation, or just rest and relaxation, then look no further.

This twin island paradise supports a diverse fauna and flora with many lustrous bright and colourful species.  Over 460 species of birds have been recorded across both islands and interestingly Trinidad's first inhabitants - the Caribs - named the island 'lere' (pronounced "ayirie") meaning land of the hummingbird. Over 2,300 species of flowering plants, including rare orchids and bromeliads have been noted to occur and 620 species of butterflies, one of which is the brilliant blue Emperor Butterfly. 

On Tobago the Main Ridge Forest Reserve was the first legally protected tropical rainforest (afforded protection in 1776) in the western hemisphere and is home to many special birds including White-tailed Sabrewing, Venezuelan Flycatcher, Rufous-vented Chachalaca and Copper-rumped Hummingbird.  Blue-backed Manakins are another sought-after species well worth seeing.

In contrast to the tropical rainforest, you can also enjoy views of the seabird colonies that thrive on Tobago's windswept cliffs.

Trinidad and Tobago also supports a diverse culture.  Vibrant religious and cultural festivals and unique cuisine added to breathtaking attractions and heritage sites can provide you with an experience to treasure for a lifetime.

See for yourself why it is not just hummingbirds that can add a splash of colour to your holiday.
