Nice tour - This tour was very nice. The guide was knowledgeable and we saw quite a few birds. The guide made sure to stop at certain points so we could observe the wildlife. Also felt very comfortable on the boat.

Unique Experience - Seeing the red ibis and flamingos was amazing, the guide was very friendly and informative. Overall a great experience.

Great experience - Seen so many birds. Very cool experience. When in Trinidad I highly recommend you do this. I didn’t Trinidad had flamingos.

An escape from the bustle of the city - What a lovely thing to do, especially for nature lovers like us. We were picked up by Mark, a genuine and warm guy, on time and taken care of right up until we got on the boat at the sanctuary. Whilst we didn’t see too many animals (can’t be helped with wild animals) the ones we did see were spotted with ease by our captain and he stopped to make sure everyone had seen them. The highlight of course was seeing the scarlet ibis and flamingoes fly in to nest for the night. It was stunning, and the setting was truly spectacular. Bring your SLR camera or binoculars and plenty of water. The jewel of Trinidad for sure.

So Many Scarlet Ibis and Other Wildlife! - Strongly recommend Island Experiences and this tour! Booking the tour was easy and our guide, Khaleel, was wonderful. Picked us up at our hotel, drove to the site, and got us right on a boat. Saw oh so many birds, particularly when coming in for sunset, just flock after flock after flock. Lots of other snakes and birds in the trees. Several snacks hanging directly over our boat - waited for one to drop but they never did. This is a great tour for families, but bring water and snacks if you want them. Also a rain jacket if rain is a possibility and definitely hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and insect repellant. The boat is not fancy and there are no comforts or services. You just get an amazing tour of the wetlands and wildlife. Boat ride was about two hours. Khaleel met us as we stepped off the boat and had us back in the van. Then took us to a local street market where we sampled so many great foods and drink. All vendors took USD. Make sure you know the current exchange rate, though no one took advantage from what I figured out later with my calculator. We did three tours with Island Experiences and two with Khaleel. Wish he was available for the third but all guides are great. Would trust Island Experiences with any of their tours. Suggest contacting them in advance and booking as much in advance as possible as some tours sell out, especially trips to Tobago, but they will find you something good. Enjoy!

Unique experience - highlight seeing the magnificent Scarlet Ibises coming home to roost - Awesome sight to see the Scarlet Ibis come home to roost. Their colour contrasting with the white egrets who shared their roosting site. Guide was excellent at spotting wildlife I would have missed completely and knowledgeable about the nature seen and unseen in this unique environment within close reach of Port of Spain - such a contrast. Personal binoculars would be recommended in order to have a close-up view & a high quality photo zoom!

Amazing - The arrival of the thousands of red ibises was absolutely impressive. The pick-up went really well and they were dropped off at the guesthouse again

Peaceful - Trip was very relaxing! It was peaceful for me getting to know the context of Trinidad . I would recommend this for anyone

Well worth doing - There was actually unseasonal rain at the time of my cruise, but it was still very worth doing. A great counterpoint to the city of Port of Spain, and so close to it. Got to see lots of birds!

Island Experiences - great tours and guides - We did several tours with Island Experiences. They were very friendly and always reliable. Khaleel was our guide most of the time and he was really amazing - fun to be with and very knowledgeable. We can absolutely recommend doing tours with this company. Whatever your interests are, Island Experiences will have the right tour for you.
