Join us in Trinidad & Tobago to experience the real Caribbean! See wild wonders from rainforests to colorful coral reefs, and have close encounters with living dinosaurs – Leatherback Sea Turtles.

Ladies! Experience the real Caribbean! This adventure combines daily excursions that immerse you into the tropical wonders of the twin island nation of Trindad & Tobago. Two islands, one unforgettable experience.
Just 8 degrees north of the equator, right off the tip of Venezuela, lies Trinidad. The bigger of the two Islands and birthplace of the steel pan, it is the energetic of the pair with a modern twist on the Caribbean destination; a metropolitan center and an exciting night life all within the splendor of a tropical paradise. But even within the shores of Trinidad, the exceptional variance of tone is apparent when exploring only a short distance away from Port-of-Spain, the Islands capital, into the separate world of a more serene Caribbean backdrop where tropical rainforests, jungle waterfalls, clear rivers, and mangrove wetlands replace city entertainment.
About a 30 min flight from Trinidad’s Port of Spain, is laid back Tobago. The smaller sibling to the northeast lags in pace with a quiet and lull atmosphere and a population of only a fraction of Trinidad. Attracting nature lovers, divers, and bird nerds from all over the world, Tobago is also the home of the oldest protected rainforest in the Western Hemisphere. Its pink sand beaches are secluded and quiet while the rainforest thrives with life. Dive sites and snorkeling off of Tobago are particularly stunning and provide some great unforgettable, first-class underwater adventures.
The adventure begins in Port of Spain and then we fly to the island of Tobago for three nights. In Tobago we snorkel beautiful coral reefs, hike the world’s oldest protected forest, and take in the positive vibes of beach life. Mid way, we return to Trinidad and travel to the far east coast to meet living dinosaurs – leatherback sea turtles. You will help these endangered creatures at sunset, by releasing hatchlings. Then at night you take a walk back in time as you observe 500-pound turtles crawl onto the beach to lay their eggs. From Grand Rivier, we head south for a swamp boat trip in search of Scarlet Ibis. Finally, the grand finale is a river hike to Avocat waterfall with a chance to challenge yourself on an 72ft rappel down the falls and a “lime” in the savanna.
Special note to birders: Trinidad & Tobago is an amazing place to see birds. Each morning, your guide will offer guided bird walks to help you add species you’ve never seen to your Life List.

- Go hiking in one of the Earth’s oldest protected rainforest prime for birding with species from both Central and South America.
