Amazing experience, fantastic place - The river was exquisitely beautiful. The trees were reflected in the water; it was so lovely. We saw many flamingos and many of the red birds. We saw two rainbows. At the end it started raining quite a lot so the captain pulled out a big piece of plastic that we all held over our heads, as we laughed. Guide Dominic was attentive and interesting. I also loved the other 2 travelers that were in our small group.

Scarlet Ibis Treasure - Great opportunity to see an amazing flocks of Trinidad’s national bird, the scarlet ibis, in a spectacular setting. Travel through the mangrove swamp in 30-40 person boats, captained by knowledgeable and friendly guides. Learn about the mangrove eco-system and its importance to the survival of many native species. Your cruise culminates with a stationary viewing of the arrival of hundreds of scaler ibis to their nighttime roosting locations. Wa a after wave of birds fly across the mangrove estuary to surrounding trees providing an unforgettable portrait of red and green again the early evening sky.

Beautiful sunset boat ride in nature - Great tour facilitated with Nanan's Caroni boat tour. Driver was on time and there was plenty of history and info provided throughout the tour. The birds are beautiful of course, but we also saw crabs, snakes, flamingo. Highly recommend for nature lovers.

Scarlet Ibis Heaven - Our taxi driver and guide Dominic was first class. He was a good driver and knew his stuff when it came to the wildlife.
The tour itself was excellent, full of wildlife and related chat. The finale with the Scarlet Ibis was worth the trip on its own.

Great photo option - It's not a bad tour, but the end is the best with all the birds coming to one location to rest and the ones going out to feed. Rain or shine the tour will go on. In the rain, they will use a tarp to cover. Ponchos would be a good idea. Hot with some bugs. Dress accordingly and have sun screen and bug spray. Private tour with food is also available. Best for nature lovers. Small boat will travel through river to main location. Must make reservations. You can not just show up. Must book in advance.

Great experience - The tour was interesting and showed many native birds. We had a great tour guide, Dominic ensure that we had a great and comfortable time. From our ride from the hotel, to visiting the visitor's centre, to ensuring that he stayed with us until we were comfortably on the boat, he displayed great customer service.

Definitely worth it! - Wasn't sure what to expect but it was a really good experience which I would definitely recommend. It was very hot so glad I had a hat! Seeing the owl and the Ibis coming in to nest were probably the best bits for me plus the amazing views! We had a really good tour guide too Dominic who picked us up from our hotel and was very knowledgeable about the tour itself so gave us lots of info about what we were going to see. We got there early so he took us around the sanctuary too so we were able to get some really good pics of the owl and the red cardinal.. So cool!
