     How do our T&T trips differ from others?  We know these islands better than anyone else and can provide you with absolutely the best possible experience!

     On Trinidad, my co-leader is T&T field guide author Martyn Kenefick, who lives in Trinidad, is constantly birding and leading tours, and is as good as it gets.  I've led more than 55 birding trips to T&T myself, more than any other American.

     We base our operations in T&T, using local experts and private transportation.  We customize our tours to take advantage of the increased mobility thus afforded.  We visit exciting locations infrequently visited by other birding groups, if ever. We know where the birds are, and we go where the birds are.

     On both islands we dine locally on several forays, soaking in the local ambiance and contributing to the local economy.

     Finally, our longtime relationships with our accommodations, and especially with naturalists throughout both islands, enables us to quickly take advantage of any opportunity that might present itself.>

A Birdwatchers' Guide to Trinidad & Tobago

An essential resource for birding in Trinidad & Tobago!


The distillation of more than 25 years of birding experience in Trinidad & Tobago, during both solo explorations and while leading more than 55 birding tours. Orders are filled within 24 hours. We can expedite your order and ship overnight if you so desire.



Like most birders, I love viewing birds, especially those that are tough to identify. I also love spectacular birds like trogons and jacamars. And I'm a confessed raptor junkie. But most of all, I love to see the looks of amazement and excitement on the faces of people new to Trinidad & Tobago when I show them some of the countless breathtaking sights there.

One of my other great joys comes from finding a new or rare species of bird. Among the most exciting times I've had on these trips to Trinidad & Tobago have been finding bird species new to Trinidad or Tobago or to South America. These extraordinary sightings have included such wonders as the first Western Reef-Heron for South America and the first Aplomado Falcon, Killdeer, Wilson's Phalarope, and Brown Violet-ear for Tobago.

Who knows what we'll find on our next tour? Come along and find out!
