Best parts: Asa Wright and the excursions from Asa Wright.

We cannot speak highly enough of Andrew, our guide, who was an excellent guide. The time we spent with him in Trinidad and from Cuffie in Speyside was exceptional.

Best parts: Asa Wright

A very well planned tour which gave us an excellent overview of Trinidad and Tobago. Guides were excellent throughout making our walks and visits enjoyable and informative. We were most impressed by the welcome afforded by Pax Guesthouse and Cuffie River

Best parts: The hotel location and surroundings of Cuffie River and lunch in a local home after Asa Wright visit.

Asa Wright, surrounded by the forests of the Northern Range, is a world famous destination for birdwatchers. Over 170 bird species have been recorded at this former coffee-cocoa-citrus plantation established from early work in the area by Dr William Beebe. Many species can be seen from the verandah of the main Victorian house or along numerous trails on the estate.

The lodge has 24 en suite bedrooms, mostly in cottages in the gardens near the main house. All have private verandahs.

There is an oilbird colony that can be visited by guests staying for 3 nights or more. The property is spread over a hillside with numerous steps to reach some rooms. There are a couple of rooms in the main house for less able visitors.

Asa Wright Lodge gets very booked up in high season so you need to reserve well in advance.
