So I decided to take an unusual Sunday outing. Instead of going to the beach I opted to take the family to the Asa Wright nature centre. The kids weren't that happy about it because it entailed some walking through the forest and they were worried about the snakes and insects...so it took some convincing. The drive to Asa Wright...

We recently went to Asa Wright on a day trip. Even though the road up the mountains can be a little scary, the views as you go along are beautiful. This is a birder's (and photographer's) paradise with many species to be seen. They offered a guided tour down one of their main trails which gives you the opportunity to... More

Recently stayed at Asa for three nights in late March 2013 as part of a two week nature tour of both Trinidad and Tobago. The birds get so close to you on the famous veranda at Asa Wright and we saw probably around at least 50 species in all, including many different Hummers and Tanagers. You also experience a rainforest... More

We had a wonderful time at Asa Wright. This was largely down to the friendly, knowledgeable and helpful good humour of the staff. Although, when abroad, we don't normally use guides, much preferring to use our own agenda and itinerary, we were grateful for the information given to us by the guides and other staff, who went out of their...

Fantastic scenic drive to get there, then the experience begins. There is an entrance fee, but you get a guide and you get to choose a walk. Guides are very experienced and they know their stuff, then you are plunged into a nature trail that totally enhances all of our senses and you might even be dared to eat termites... More

I stayed four nights at Asa Wright with a birding tour group. The birds are indeed excellent, especially the Oilbirds in their cave and the view and birds from the verandah. There are a number of well-marked trails in the rain forest, easy for the fit but less so for others. Time spent on the verandah was very enjoyable, both... More

We spent most of the afternoon at Asa Wright, and it lived up to the recommendations of other travelers. We just went in for the day, but I think I would recommend staying the night if that suits your budget, because overnight guests have more access and more options. Reservations are still required for the morning or afternoon guided tour,... More

This nature centre is a little hard to find..no sign posts.If you have a GPS, type in Arima-Blanchisseuse Road.The best is to take the airport road, Churchill-Roosevelt Highway, and drive to a road indicates Arima. Once you are in Eastern Main Road, ask the friendly people of Trinidad the way to the Nature reserve, you carry on a narrow road... More

I checked the reviews on this attraction before deciding to go there. Everyone was so over the moon about it that I thought it would be super fun. Well, I was disappointed and trust me, that's an understatement. I don't know, you might have to be crazy about watching tiny birds from a distance and standing at spots where you're... More
