Trinidad and Tobago may be small, but its natural wonders are anything but. HADCO Experiences invites travellers to explore this Caribbean gem, where lush rainforests meet pristine beaches and vibrant local culture thrives. With two ecolodges in extraordinary settings, the company offers immersive wildlife encounters and mindful escapes that celebrate the restorative power of nature.

In the Northern Range, HADCO Experiences manages the iconic Asa Wright Nature Centre, a 29-room ecolodge nestled amid 1,300 acres of rainforest. Established in 1967, the reserve is regarded as one of the world’s premier birding destinations and is home to a rare breeding colony of Oilbirds. Following a multi-million-dollar restoration, HADCO reopened the lodge in 2023, preserving its heritage while elevating comfort and sustainability.

Rooms are scattered across the historic Spring Hill Estate, a former cocoa, coffee, and citrus plantation, offering guests unparalleled access to trails, waterfalls, and natural bathing pools. Expert guides – including Mukesh Ramdass, with over 35 years of experience – lead guests through the forest to spot more than 170 species of birds, from hummingbirds and toucans to the elusive Bearded Bellbird.

On the northeastern coastline, the 21-room Mt. Plaisir Estate Hotel offers a front-row seat to one of the planet’s most extraordinary wildlife events: the nesting of the endangered Leatherback turtle. Between March and August, approximately 3,500 turtles come ashore to lay over 200,000 eggs, with hatchlings emerging from June to August. The hotel works closely with local NGOs to protect these remarkable animals and their nesting grounds. Guests can kayak along the coast, hike to hidden waterfalls, fish, swim, bike, or take boat trips to explore the surrounding marine environment. Nearby, Pawi Lodge provides a rare chance to encounter the Trinidad Piping-guan, locally known as the Pawi, an endemic and critically endangered species.

HADCO Experiences is deeply committed to sustainable wildlife tourism that benefits both the environment and local communities. Their lodges are designed not just as places to stay, but as gateways to Trinidad and Tobago’s extraordinary biodiversity, offering travellers the chance to slow down, connect with nature, and experience the islands’ rich ecological and cultural tapestry.

Whether you’re drawn to the melodic calls of rainforest birds or the awe-inspiring sight of Leatherback turtles making their way to the sea, HADCO Experiences provides a journey into the heart of Trinidad and Tobago that’s unforgettable, immersive, and responsibly managed.
