Tour the wildlife of Trinidad and Tobago, May 5 to 20, 2011

Experience the magnificent wildlife of Trinidad and Tobago with wildlife enthusiast and artist Ed Rooks. Arrive at the height of the nesting season for the Leatherback Sea Turtle. Visit famous Asa Wright Nature Centre to see the rare cave-dwelling Oilbirds and other wonderful birds and animals. Watch hummingbirds and honeycreepers sip nectar from flowers and Bearded Bellbirds feast on ripening fruit. Channel-billed Toucans, along with so many other birds, await you on forest walks. Snorkel in the beautiful reefs to see colorful fish up-close or watch through a glass-bottom boat – it’s your choice. Photograph the brilliant Scarlet Ibis at Caroni Swamp and get a taste of Indian- and Creole-inspired local cuisine.
