Overview

Perfect for participants with limited time, this condensed birding experience offers a rewarding introduction to Trinidad’s rainforest ecosystems. Based at the renowned Asa Wright Nature Centre, the trip provides immediate access to a rich diversity of forest species, many observable right from the lodge’s famous veranda.

A highlight of the experience is the opportunity to observe Trinidad’s remarkable Oilbirds—one of the world’s few nocturnal, fruit-eating birds—both in evening conditions and during a guided visit to their cave habitat. This short but carefully designed itinerary delivers an efficient and memorable rainforest birding experience.

Offered at a special conference rate, this trip provides excellent value for a fully guided birding experience.
