Horticulture and Caroni Bird Sanctuary

This tour is perfect for ornithologists or anyone seeking relaxing a day of nature at its beautiful best.

Visit the Caroni plains and the Horticulture Farm where you will enjoy the tour described in Natural History and Horticulture.

At about 3:30 head off to spend the evening in the Caroni Bird Sanctuary. A sturdy boat will take you through the swamp, where you will see many beautiful birds, such as Snowy Egrets, several types of Herons, and possibly a Common Potoo. If you are lucky you may see a Silky Anteater or a Tree Boa. With the setting sun, the boat stops as hundreds of the exquisite Scarlet Ibis fly overhead to land in a single mangrove tree to roost for the night.

This tour is a favourite with those visiting Trinidad.

The walks are easy and a sturdy boat will carry you through the swamp. Departure from your hotel is at 8:00 am and you return at 7:00 p.m.
