This tour is designed to showcase the best of Trinidad. Compared to our classic Trinidad Birding Tour, this trip is

more flexible in pace with options to pursue your interests―be they birds, butterflies, photography, or simply

relaxing in a tropical setting (and letting the birds come to you). It’s ideal for returning guests and for

couples/friends with diverse interests. It also fits well into a calendar week, great for those with limited time. Two

fine lodges are featured for variety.

First, we’ll stay at the beloved Asa Wright Nature Centre (AWNC), enjoying the famous verandah and venturing

off the grounds to see Scarlet Ibises at Caroni National Park and the scenic mountain terrain of the surrounding

Northern Range. We will also have a full-day field trip to Nariva Swamp. After five nights at AWNC, we’ll spend

two nights at a boutique, beachfront lodge on Trinidad’s northern coast where lush forests provide a stronghold

for the endangered Trinidad Piping-guan. Our travel day between lodges includes a visit to the Aripo Agricultural

Station.

Day 1, March 23: Arrive and Explore the Asa Wright Nature Centre

Plan to arrive at Piarco International Airport in late afternoon/evening (we will send flight recommendations once

the traveler minimum has been met). You will be met by an AWNC guide and/or Mass Audubon naturalist Bill

Gette who will take you to the Centre. The Centre is located about an hour’s drive away in the Northern Range.

We’ll settle in, relax on the Centre’s wide verandah, and marvel at the almost tame hummingbirds, tanagers,

honeycreepers, and other birds that frequent the feeders. At 6 p.m., we’ll enjoy rum punch and then dinner. This

evening, we’ll get to know each other and review the itinerary and target species.

Day 2, March 24: Introductory Birding on Forest Trails/Night Birding

Morning begins with the raucous calls of the Crested Oropendolas and a host of other exotic sounds. A first-time

visitor could see 20-30 life birds before breakfast and 40 species overall. After breakfast, we’ll have a guided tour

along several trails through the sanctuary. Many participants enjoy the challenge of spotting a Bearded Bellbird as

its distinctive “bonk!” echoes throughout the forest. Not far from a known bellbird lek in the trees are two species

of manakins attending their leks closer to the ground.

The afternoon will be free to allow you to relax, enjoy the trails on your own, and adjust to the tropical sun and

heat. Birding from the verandah of the Asa Wright Nature Centre is one of the world’s most pleasant and exciting

ornithological experiences. Ruby-topaz Hummingbird, Tufted Coquette, Barred Antshrike, and Green

Honeycreeper are just some of the exciting species one can expect.

WILDLIFE HIGHLIGHTS

Commonly Seen at the Feeders: White-chested Emerald; White-necked Jacobin; Rufous-breasted and

Little Hermits; Copper-rumped Hummingbird; Tufted Coquette; Crested Oropendola; Blue-gray, Palm,

White-lined, Silver-beaked, and Turquoise Tanagers; Barred Antshrike; Purple and Green

Honeycreepers; and Violaceous Euphonia.

Later, we’ll head out on a night-birding field trip. We’ll travel south down the Arima Valley before turning east.

In these Northern Range foothills lies the Aripo Agriculture Research Station which breeds a cross of Water

Buffalo and Brahman cattle. The research station’s open countryside and rough pastures allow us to seek plenty of

new species. We’ll enjoy a picnic dinner, then set off on a slow drive looking for target night species.

Day 3, March 25: Birding Trinidad’s Northern Range

Today’s scenic, day-long excursion takes us high into the Northern Range on the Blanchisseuse Road. We’ll

make frequent birding stops, enjoy a picnic lunch, and then continue to bird along the way through the mountains

to the village of Morne la Croix. Here, we’ll fortify ourselves with afternoon tea and cakes while watching parrots

come to roost. We’ll also have the opportunity to examine the strange world of leaf-cutter and army ants, as well

as the chance to photograph butterflies, orchids, and other tropical flora.

Day 4, March 26: Nariva Swamp

Today, we’ll have a full day of birding at Nariva Swamp. We’ll depart for the lowlands of the Aripo Agricultural

Station after breakfast. Here in the open countryside and semi-wild pastures, we’ll see an entirely different set of

species from those in the AWNC forests. After we thoroughly explore the station, we’ll continue to the Atlantic

Coast for a picnic lunch and possible seabird sightings on the beach at Manzanilla.

We’ll bird the beachside habitats of Coconut Alley before entering Nariva Swamp. Here, the Nariva River reaches

the sea. The freshwater environments in the swamp make for spectacular birding. We will end the day’s excursion

in search of two species of large macaws, as well as Red Howler and White-faced Capuchin Monkeys at Bush

Bush Wildlife Sanctuary. This will be a very full day with many stops and sightings of species found nowhere

else on the island.

This morning, enjoy coffee, tea, and breakfast on the verandah followed by a walk to see the Centre’s resident

Oilbirds. We start on a short but steep path to Dunston Cave, a riparian grotto at AWNC. Here, we’ll enjoy

exclusive access to a breeding colony of Oilbirds—nocturnal, fruit-eating birds that congregate here at one of the

world’s most accessible nesting caves.

In the afternoon, we’ll depart for Caroni Swamp birding along the way. We’ll search the mangroves of Caroni

National Park for new species and then head to the dock. While birding by boat, we’ll keep an eye out for

Ruschenberger’s Tree Boa and Silky Anteater, then moor at a quiet spot in the mangroves to let the sunset show

begin. Hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of Scarlet Ibises cloud the sky as they come to roost.

Day 6, March 28: Aripo, Birding Enroute to Grande Riviere

This morning we’ll say goodbye to the Centre and staff and head back to the Aripo Agriculture Research Station

to bird the grasslands and look for species we may have missed during previous visits.

Much of the afternoon will be travel time. We’ll have lunch en route and make scenic stops along the rugged

coastline. The endemic Trinidad Piping-guan, known locally as Pawi, is making its final stand here—it’s

estimated that fewer than 300 individuals are left on Earth.

For part of the year, Grande Riviere’s beaches are home to the world’s densest congregation of nesting

Leatherback Sea Turtles. On some nights, hundreds of these gigantic turtles populate the beaches. While most of

the females nest between April and July, they are also present from March through August, and occasionally,

they’re spotted at other times of the year.

We’ll arrive at Mt. Plaisir in time to relax and enjoy gourmet local cuisine while dining alfresco. Our rooms

overlook the beach, so we should get views of the turtles, if we are lucky.* Leave your patio door open at night

and drift off to sleep as waves crash on the beach below.

Day 7, March 29: In Search of Piping-guans , Then Afternoon Free

Once hunted to near extinction, the Trinidad Piping-guan, has been the focus of local conservation efforts. The

bird has responded well, and it’s slowly increasing in numbers and visibility. This morning, we’ll scrutinize the

wild nutmeg trees that are their preferred feeding habitat.

The birding is excellent in Grande Riviere, and the morning may reveal 60 or more species. Much of the birding

is done from a wide forested track where you can enjoy superb viewing. We’ll also explore a riverine forest until

early afternoon when we’ll return to the hotel.

Since we rose early for birding, the afternoon is free time to explore and enjoy the beach.

Overnight: Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel (B,L,D)

At Grand Riviere: Trinidad Piping-guan; Southern Lapwing; Lilac-tailed Parrotlet; Gray-headed and

Plumbeous Kites; White Hawk; Bat Falcon; Lineated and Crimson-crested Woodpeckers; Grayish

Saltator; Silvered and White-bellied Antbirds; Black-tailed Tityra; Trinidad Euphonia; and mixed

flocks of colorful tanagers.

Day 8, March 30: Return to Port of Spain and Departures

Today, our week in Trinidad comes to an end. We strongly encourage you to make afternoon return flights, since

Grande Riviere is at least two hours from the airport (and you need to be there at least 2.5 hours ahead of your

flight). If you MUST leave early, a special transfer can be arranged at an additional expense. (B)

RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Name: ____________________________________________________________________

I would like to participate in the birding and nature tour named above (the “Tour”) organized by Massachusetts

Audubon Society, Inc. (“Mass Audubon”). I am aware that participation in a Mass Audubon tour involves risk,

including, but not limited to, the hazards of living in and traveling over unpredictable terrain often in remote areas

without adequate medical facilities, exposure to disease and infection, being subject to the forces of nature, and

travel by airplane and motor vehicle. In addition, I understand and acknowledge that, if I participate in the Tour,

one or more of the risks described above or set forth below could result in or cause bodily injury or death to me or

damage to personal property of mine: physical exertion; travel by foot, plane, train, auto, vans, bus, boat or other

conveyance; consumption of food and beverages; civil unrest, terrorism, banditry, or criminal activity; high

altitude; inadequate medical facilities or service.

I acknowledge that I have received and read carefully information describing the Tour, including, but not limited

to, the Terms and Conditions and the paragraph in the Terms and Conditions entitled “Your Responsibility.”

I acknowledge that the enjoyment and excitement of touring is derived, at least in part, from the inherent risks

incurred by travel and activity beyond the accepted safety and routine of life at home or work, and that part of the

reason I have decided to participate in the Tour is to experience this enjoyment and excitement. I further

acknowledge that I have had the opportunity to discuss with my medical provider the medical risks involved in

the Tour. I have also had the opportunity to research the Tour and to understand fully the risks involved.

Therefore, notwithstanding the risks of participating in the Tour set forth and as described above, and in

consideration of Mass Audubon permitting me to participate in the Tour:

(1) I AGREE TO ASSUME AND ACCEPT ALL RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TOUR; AND

(2) I HEREBY RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE AND COVENANT AND AGREE NOT TO SUE,

AND AGREE TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS, MASS AUDUBON AND ITS DIRECTORS,

OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASEES”), AND EACH OF THE

RELEASEES, FROM AND AGAINST AND IN REGARD TO ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS,

ACTIONS, SUITS, LOSSES, COSTS, DAMAGES, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,

ATTORNEYS’ FEES), AND ANY AND ALL LIABILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF EVERY KIND AND

DESCRIPTION, WHICH I SHALL OR MAY HAVE AGAINST THE RELEASEES OR ANY ONE OR MORE

OF THEM ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, MY PARTICIPATION IN THE TOUR.

I agree that this Release and Assumption of Risk shall be (a) binding upon me and my heirs, executors, legal

representatives, successors, and assigns, and (b) deemed a contract made under seal under the laws of the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts and shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the

internal laws of said Commonwealth without regard to its principles of conflict of laws.

I HAVE CAREFULLY READ, UNDERSTAND, AND VOLUNTARILY SIGN THIS RELEASE AND

ASSUMPTION OF RISK.
