The tropical islands of Trinidad and Tobago, lying just off the coast of north-eastern Venezuela, offer one of the richest and most accessible birding experiences in the entire Caribbean. Their unique position at the gateway to South America, coupled with a remarkable diversity of habitats—from coastal wetlands and lowland forests to lush mountains—creates an exceptional setting for both resident and migratory birds.
This specially designed tour for the Houston Audubon Society showcases the very best of Trinidad, with excellent accommodations set within prime birding habitat. Participants will enjoy unforgettable encounters with iconic species such as the commanding Bearded Bellbird, dazzling Scarlet Ibis, striking Trinidad Motmot, glittering Tufted Coquette, and the critically endangered Trinidad Piping Guan.
For those wishing to extend their adventure, a dedicated Tobago extension has been arranged. This offers the chance to experience the island’s own unique charm and birdlife, completing the picture of why this twin-island nation is regarded as one of the world’s great tropical birding destinations. Photographers, too, will be spoiled for choice: not only are macaws, toucans, tanagers, motmots, and hummingbirds abundant, but the scenery itself provides a spectacular backdrop to every outing.

MODERATE TO CHALLENGING: This tour requires a good level of fitness, stamina, and overall health. It’s best suited for experienced birders who are comfortable with a more active itinerary. Please note that it may not be ideal for avid photographers, new birders, or those with mobility or health concerns.
An easy, enjoyable birding vacation. our Relaxed series of tours are designed to focus on having an enjoyable holiday with a bird and wildlife focus. Where possible; we have reduced or removed long drives, single night stays and poor/rustic accommodation. We have also sought to reduce or remove difficult hikes, narrow/muddy trails and otherwise oppressive environmental conditions. Early starts and night birding are mostly optional, and we will not spend much time searching for difficult and/or skulking species. These tours are not suitable for hardcore birders and listers, or dedicated photographers.
