Experience an eco-tour like no other. The Caroni Swamp is the largest mangrove wetland in Trinidad and Tobago and is home to numerous species of birds, reptiles, mammals, and other wildlife. As evening approaches look out for the national bird of Trinidad and Tobago, the Scarlet Ibis, named after its vibrant scarlet colour. Evening is when the birds return to the swamp to roost, after feeding during the day, creating a spectacle of colour. In addition to the ibis and flamingoes, Caroni is home to 180-plus bird species, including herons, kingfishers and the colourful masked cardinal, depicted on T&T's $50 note, as well as spectacled caiman, Cook's tree boas, crab-eating raccoons and silky anteaters.
