See stunning golden beaches, turquoise waters and a mountainous interior that is ripe for hiking and birding.
Explore the dramatic valleys and rugged coast of the Northern Mountain Range where the Andes, in a final flourish of jungle clad peaks, dive into the Caribbean Sea. Embark on tremendous birding trips, go hiking on dirt trails, or be in with the chance to witness giant leatherback turtles laying eggs on rugged and remote Caribbean beaches. Spend time in Grande Riviere, a small village with a real off-the-beaten-track feel, a wonderful spot to get away from it all with rugged beaches lined by palm trees and pounded by Atlantic swells.
Fly onto sister island Tobago for a week of wellness or more island exploration. With stunning golden beaches, turquoise waters and a mountainous interior that is ripe for hiking and birding, Tobago is an opportune place to explore dramatic Caribbean ecosystems. Take to the pristine ocean to snorkel in the home of nurse sharks, southern stingrays, bicolour damselfish and torpedo rays, or venture inland to hike the Western Hemisphere’s oldest Rainforest Reserve. Perhaps hire a car and take to the winding roads of the tiny island, where it is possible to drive from one end to the other in under two hours.
Take to the waters of the Caroni Bird Sanctuary in a lectured boat tour through the swamp of the same name, looking out for the diverse range of wildlife that call this place home. Scout for shuffling anteaters, log-like caimans, long-legged cranes and some of the region’s many migratory bird species. The real highlight of this wildlife excursion is the opportunity to spot and photograph the bright scarlet flashes of the national bird, the scarlet ibis. The swamp is one of few places in Trinidad & Tobago where the ibis nests – an impressive sight backed by the Northern Mountain Range as a backdrop.

Discover the Beaux-Arts style Red House to discover the secret behind its colour, visit the Queen’s Park Savannah and its turn of the 20th century colonial homes, and witness the old slave settlements of Free Town, now known as Belmont.
